In most discussions of the problems of American public schools, the low intellectual quality of people who come out of our schools of education is the 800-pound gorilla that keeps getting ignored. Such teachers cannot give their students intellectual abilities that they themselves don't have.

Wow! That hits the NEA educrats right between the eyes.

Does anyone seriously believe that short dresses, exposing bony knees, make women look more attractive?

Yes, because all knees are not bony. Should I cover up all paintings because not all of them are the Mona Lisa?

>"Solyndra and other government "investment" disasters "

Those weren't disasters. They worked perfectly as planned.

Stolen Tax money laundering for the DNC.

For a long time, Democrats have gone to Washington to win at all costs, while too many Republicans went to Washington to compromise with Democrats. The rise of the Tea Party may change that.

If it doesn't change that pattern, the Republican party should go the way of the Whig party.

Dang, four volumes of the Caro biography of Lyndon Johnson, now? I remember reading the first one when I was in high school! (”Recreational reading,” not an assignment.) Quite fascinating.

Has Dr. Sowell been reading my FR posts?

When Dr. Sowell says "for a long time" you can be sure it's on the long side of 50 years.

He's so right. Democrats always swing for the fences on what they want and always walk away with a stand-up double thanks to "compromise." Throw strikes? Any RINO will tell you it's easier to just settle for the double. Next thing you know, runs are walking in as Dem' players advance to second on every at bat. Compromise.

Lather, rinse, repeat, and we get crushed game after game.
