Bowing to 'world opinion'
Tuesday November 17, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists who have committed acts of war against the United States in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of cri ...
Of Hasan, Obama and baseball technology
Tuesday November 10, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Random thoughts on the passing scene: If politicians stopped meddling with things they don't understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates. It was fascinating to see Barack Obama warning us not to leap to co ...
The 'costs' of medical care
Tuesday November 03, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- We are incessantly being told that the cost of medical care is "too high"– either absolutely or as a growing percentage of our incomes. But nothing that is being proposed by the government is likely to lower those costs, and much that is being proposed is almost certain to increase the cost ...
Dismantling of America
Tuesday October 27, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the president, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent? ...
Should Rush sue?
Tuesday October 20, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- To sue or not to sue? That is the question. After racist statements were made up out of thin air and then attributed to Rush Limbaugh, these were the options he had. It is easy for me to understand that these are not simple choices because I have faced those options as well. R ...
When politicians are clueless about economics
Tuesday October 13, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Back in the days of the Soviet Union, two Russian economists who had never lived in a country with a free market economy understood something about market economies that many others who have lived in such economies all their lives have never understood. Nikolai Shmelev and Vladimir Popov said: "E ...
Today's self-indulgent 'teachers'
Tuesday October 06, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Recent videos of American children in school singing songs of praise for Barack Obama were a little much, especially for those of us old enough to remember pictures of children singing the praises of dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao. But you don't need a dictator to make you feel q ...
The Brainy Bunch
Tuesday September 29, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Many people, including some conservatives, have been very impressed with how brainy the president and his advisers are. But that is not quite as reassuring as it might seem. It was, after all, Franklin D. Roosevelt's brilliant "brains trust" advisers whose policies are now increasingly ...
How to be an underdog and win
Tuesday September 22, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- It is a good reflection on Americans that they tend to be on the side of the underdog. But it is often hard to tell who is in fact the underdog, or why. Many years ago, there was a big, lumbering catcher named Ernie Lombardi whose slowness afoot was legendary. Someone once said that not ...
How 'bout a real single-payer system?
Tuesday September 15, 2009 by Thomas Sowell -- Many years ago, as a small child, I was told one of those old-fashioned fables for children. It was about a dog with a bone in his mouth, who was walking on a log across a stream. The dog looked down into the water and saw his reflection. He thought it was another dog with a bone in hi ...
