Don’t miss George Will’s hilarious ridicule of today’s politically correct, do-gooder imbeciles.

 

The Pop-Tart Terrorist

I find his closing point irresistible:

 

“Government is failing spectacularly at its core functions, such as budgeting and educating.  Yet it continues to multiply its peripheral and esoteric responsibilities, tasks that require it to do things for which it has no aptitude, such as thinking and making common-sense judgments.”

 

Of course the core problem is us.  We elect our governments and we tolerate their failures.  Even worse, we take sides in these “peripheral and esoteric” food fights that the politicians start to take our minds off real problems and make us all part of what used to be the fringe nut bags of our communities.
