OT, and apologies if you guys talked about this overnight, but:

I love Thomas Sowell: Cheap Political Theater

A quote from the article:

Just as everyone seemed to be a military expert a couple of years ago, when it was chic to say that the “surge” in Iraq would not work, so today everyone seems to be an expert on executive pay.

Amen, Dr. Sowell!

(BTW, I just bought “Basic Economics”. Looking forward to it.)
