Thanks for the ping jaz. “Random Thoughts” is always a favorite around here, but then anything Dr. Sowell is.

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.

One of the most clear-thinking men alive. Love Sowell.
He touches on the 800 lb. gorilla of illiterate educators, but fails to point out that today’s schools have become not promoters of education, but of ideology. Marxist ideology.
And, as I’ve said here at least a dozen times, until that gorilla is both recognized and dealt with, our nation has zero hope for anything other than collapse.
I’m still looking for ONE conservative leader to spell this out or address it.
Until then, we are pissing in the wind......IMHO of course....

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?

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.

I think we have to cut him a little slack, he didn't say ALL women have bony knees. :-)

Knees ARE a bone!
Some women’s legs look nice in shorts or short skirts. The problem is that once the fashion is in place, the ones with less attractive legs - fat, excessively bony, varicose veins, oozing infected mosquito bites, bruises, etc. - follow it, too.

Thank you for the ping.
Bumpity bump!

That’s been one of my pet peeves for many years now. I do not understand why some—make that the majority of—women wear shorts when their body shape and skin texture just cry out against it.
And men? Why they think their hairy legs are attractive is beyond my understanding.
I maintain that almost all adults look like hell in shorts and wonder why it is not apparent to them.
