The mainstream media seem desperate to try to find something to undermine Republican governor Scott Walker's rise in the polls. The worst they have come up with is that he didn't finish college. Neither did Bill Gates or Michael Dell. The Wright brothers didn't finish high school. Neither did Abraham Lincoln or George Washington.
Have you noticed that there seem to be an ever growing number of things that we are not supposed to say in public?
Given the Obama administration's repeatedly failed policies in the Middle East and the lost credibility of the president's glib pronouncements, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress may be many Americans' first chance to get a realistic assessment of the Middle East situation and its potential for international catastrophe.

But we stopped the Nazis in World War II by killing them, instead of setting up a jobs program in Germany.”
LOL
“Secretary of State John Kerry says that there is less violence than usual in the world right now. Meanwhile the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, says the opposite, that terrorism is more violent and dangerous than ever. Since Clapper is Director of National Intelligence, maybe Kerry should have the title Director of National Stupidity.”
2X LOL!
Classic Sowell.
Absolutely. Sowell says it simply with common sense that simply can’t be denied. :)
His wit is priceless too.
And I agree with you completely.
Thanks for the ping. Good work.
“Have you noticed that there seem to be an ever growing number of things that we are not supposed to say in public?”
It’s what I’ve been saying all along.
What with the F word and the N word

Jaz: Must disagree with the good Dr. Sowell about Marco Rubio.
With you all the way FRiend. I’m ready for Teddy!

Yes it will, my FRiend and rightfully so. :-)
