“This is a real problem,” Newt continued, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “And there are some problems where you have to say, ‘You know, you are going to have to figure out how to live your own miserable life’ … because you clearly don’t want to learn from me how to be unmiserable. And that is what you are going to see happen.”

Zero Hedge has a linke to Jeremy Grantham’s most recent investment letter. Part II, which starts on page 4 is depressing.

Not curious. Not all people want to go to college or even are college material. Obama assumes that everybody wants to be credentialed. What about being a plumber or a pipe fitter or a rigger? Why do you need college if you want to do that? Santorum’s position is that Obama is looking down upon those without degrees. Possibly so.
I can’t believe you’re forcing me to defend Obama. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/06/08/obamas_remarks_on_education_and_manufacturing_110133.html
I do not get the impression from this article that Obama looks down on people that don’t want a college degree. Can you show me where Obama said everyone should go to college? I think his position has always been that everyone should have the “opportunity” to go to college. Most people share that view. I’m sorry–I think it was a dumb thing for Rick to say.

Many of us got a hearty chuckle a couple of years ago when a duly elected Congressman from Georgia and likely Mensa candidate, Democrat Hank Johnson, questioned an admiral about the potential for Guam to “tip over and capsize” if 8000 Marines were transferred there from Okinawa. Yes, he was re-elected and continues to draw is $174,000 salary. Here he is, apparently stoned, conducting the hearing:

I don’t think you’ve written about the global warming alarmist who assumed a false identity to steal documents from the Heartland Institute, then distributed those documents to various journalists and bloggers. Heartland has threatened to pursue criminal and civil remedies against the thief.
But now the story has taken a new twist. Representative Ed Markey sent a letter to the President of the Heartland Institute asking him to authenticate the stolen documents.
Markey has his panties in a wad because he’s worried that Heartland might be influencing teachers to teach skepticism about “global warming”. It strikes me as odd, if not an abuse of power, for a Congressman to intervene and use the power of his office to intimidate Heartland and to pressure it to verify the authenticity of its own private documents when it apparently has engaged in no wrong-doing.
I don’t agree with McCains politics and idealogy but he has now publically pushed back on Attacks on Palin here before game change. I really couldn’t believe it, but it’s there at the link.
CWL: Perhaps you are confused. First of all, McCain was defending Sarah and secondly, this is an old story with a new date on it. It was about a year ago that the Palin emails were released. The result was that the leftists found nothing in the emails to criticize.

What They Are Saying About Me
"Someone with credibility is saying these things and trying to do something. Thank you."
"'Obtuse' is just about the nicest thing I could say about Jacobson. The problem with being too steeped in any profession is that you run the risk of no longer understanding the difference between reality and your profession's most obscure minutiae."
"I just wanted to thank you for writing such a great article on your reasons why you voted for John McCain. I wish everyone would have read that article."
"Jacobson is doing only what other McCain supporters are starting to do, produce these worthless pieces from some narrow perch in order to cover up their own racist bigotry"
"Cornell and the country need more educators like yourself to keep the flag of reason flying."
“I take it Jacobson teaches at the cow college part of Cornell, and not the elite section where Coulter attended.”
"Thank you for speaking out... and I hope you avoid repercussions in 'The People's Republic of Ithaca.'"
