Random thoughts on the passing scene:
Now that Barack Obama is ruling by decree, he seems more like a king than a president. Maybe it is time we change the way we address him. "Your Majesty" may be a little too much, but perhaps "Your Royal Glibness" might be appropriate.
It tells us a lot about academia that the president of Smith College quickly apologized for saying, "All lives matter," after being criticized by those who are pushing the slogan, "Black lives matter." If science could cross breed a jellyfish with a parrot, it could create academic administrators.
Mitt Romney seems to be ready to try again to run for president in 2016. But most defeated presidential candidates who ran again lost again. There are much stronger Republican candidates available now than there were in 2012, including governors Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At this crucial juncture in the nation's history, why run a retreaded candidate?
Explaining differences in achievements between groups often pits those who attribute these differences to ability against those who attribute differences to barriers. Neither seems to pay much attention to differences in what people want to do. Few guys from my old neighborhood were likely to end up as violinists or ballet dancers, simply because that was not what they were interested in.
When Professor Jonathan Gruber of M.I.T. boasted of fooling the "stupid" American public, that was not just a personal quirk of his. It epitomized a smug and arrogant attitude that is widespread among academics at elite institutions. There should be an annual "Jonathan Gruber award" for the most smug and arrogant statement by an academic. There would be thousands eligible every year.

Thomas Sowell BUMP.
Lots of great one liners in this one.
Dayum! 6 pop-ups to read his column!
....Yet when have you heard a Republican reply by saying,... “You’re a lying demagogue without a speck of evidence. Put up or shut up!”
There should be an annual “Jonathan Gruber award” for the most smug and arrogant statement by an academic.
Another brilliant idea from Dr. Sowell.
Has anyone asked the question, "How could so many people across the country spend so much time at night marching, rioting and looting, if they had to get up and go to work the next morning?"
I was thinking the same thing driving to work last week.
Thomas Sowell for President.
Sorry my Friend, I had no idea Creators is like that. I use AdBlock Plus and it works to block them.
Always love his random thoughts.
His random thoughts are better than most liberals can do after thinking for weeks. Actually, the more liberals ‘think’, the more harm is done.
More and more black people are starting to realize that they are being stigmatized by the media's obsession with black thugs and troublemakers.
I’ll look into that!
Thank you.
You bet...I installed it some months back and have no complaints, it’s a free download.
If he is the nominee again, Republicans deserve to lose again.
Lots of great one liners in this one.
You bet!
Easy to say, but we who are not Republicans don’t deserve to lose. This country won’t survive another four to eight years of liberal rule.
Thomas, Thomas, don't you know the PURPOSE of the Republican Party is to NOT effectively reply - and BLOCK any effective reply?
The Republican Party is the heavy chains wrapped around America to keep it tied down while the Democrats fire into it again and again and again and again...
I love his “Random Thoughts” columns. My favorite one-liner: “My computer’s operating system is so old, they don’t even write viruses for it anymore.”
Amen, I always look forward to his “Randon Thoughts” columns. :-)

+1!
It’s not too unusual for a web page to be running 20 third-party scripts or for AdBlock to block ten ads on a single page.
