I know, I'm just a big fan of Hanson. :)

A guy that can tell a crowd in a speech at the Hoover Institution, "I've found more wisdom on 100 acres south of Fresno than on the quad over there at Stanford" is my kind of intellectual...LOL.

He is just being honest.

I learned much more outside of college than I ever did in the classroom.

Of course that would brand me an anti intellectual to many of our elite Country clubbers here who do such things, but on the contrary it is quite the opposite. I appreciate my time at university, for two main reasons.

First I did learn critical thinking skills and concepts which were invaluable to acquiring knowledge in the outside world, and secondly, I learned to even recognize the most subtle BS when I saw it, mainly due to over exposure while in school...

I think Bill Clinton’s praise for Sarah has dems scared. Bill is to them, after all, a political god. If he can spot genuine intellect and political savvy in Sarah, the dems are screwed.
