I've been a fan of Thomas Sowell for many years. I think he has a fine mind and when he speaks or writes it is with the simplicity of the very wise.

By Thomas Sowell

I'm a fan of Thomas Sowell too. Very good at formulating and backing up arguments.
It appears that the bloom is off the rose when it comes to our president.

The underlying problems that have vexed the GOP in 2006 and 2008 remain unaddressed. Until they are, the Republicans will be a-wanderin' in the desert...
And yes, I am working today, but I don't go on the clock until 8:30. It is currently just a little after 8:00...
