Enabling the Hildabeast to win the White House just because Trump isn’t conservative enough or you worry about his shoot-from-the-hip style is stoopid.
“You’re signing up for four to eight more years of unending social aggression from the left, discarding your one chance to actually do a god-damn thing about it…”

When I was young, the answer was unambiguously yes. And, indeed, in terms of future employment, as recorded here, with one you have been much more likely to be employed and remain so since 1992. Leaving aside how long it took you to recoup the money spent on getting one in the first place.
Now, ideally, education teaches you how to think. But if you haven’t picked that process up in twelve years, you’re not likely to do it in four more. Or five more, as is the average nowadays.
Why shouldn’t we, instead, I said the other day to Mrs. C., encourage Mr. B. to become, say, an electrician. Every time we’ve tried to get an electrician to come fix something, it’s been hard, they’re all so busy. Most people (including me, to a certain extent) are afraid of electricity and so will hire even the relatively simple installation of a ceiling fan, rather than try it themselves. So why not do it Ace’s way:
“…if a kid a started an electrician’s apprentice program at 18, he could get his full Electrician’s license within 5 years. And if his parents had saved even half the money that would have gone for tuition, they would have enough to bankroll the kid setting up his own electrical business. For a lot of kids that’s a much better start to life than getting a bachelors degree in sociology or art history and wondering what now.”
No kidding.

Like a lot of people, I was smitten by Texan Renee Zellweger the first time I saw her. (And by one of the Zellweger look-alike moms I subsequently saw at one of Mr. B.’s first little league games.) But I knew the Hollyweird Renee was a few tortillas shy of an enchillada even before she married (and quickly divorced) that Hat Act Chesney–I wonder, did he take that stupid-looking black straw hat off in bed? Probably not.
So I was prepared for Renee’s latest big snoozer: her crush on that worm of a one-term ex-president Jimmy Carter. But, for me, the real news comes from Ace of Spades: the poor creature has turned over her bank account to Scientology. She’s another believer in Xenu’s imprisonment of sinful souls in volcanoes–one of the least toxic idiocies of the fraud. Don’t tell Jimmy, Renee. Southern Baptists (as you should know, having grown up in their midst) ain’t fond of that malarky. But me? Well, I’ve already got two former Infantry OCS buds who believe in UFOs, though only one of them asserts that the UFOs are actually running everything. So good luck, Renee. You’re going to need it.

The credibility of the agenda-driven news media gets thinner every day, but never more so than when they are caught hiding their own dirty laundry. Such as these and the many similar words of native Texan and retired Army Lieut. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez (the caps are from the transcript of his speech, not me shouting):
"WHAT IS CLEAR TO ME IS THAT YOU ARE PERPETUATING THE CORROSIVE PARTISAN POLITICS THAT IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY AND KILLING OUR SERVICEMEMBERS WHO ARE AT WAR."
Tough stuff, and wholly unreported by the WaPo and the AP–not to mention the BBC–whose work the rest depend on. I suppose they rationalized leaving it out because it was said in a professional, non-public setting. But that’s not much of an excuse. Note Sanchez’s Old Testament Bible quote at the end, which you can bet galled the Leftists.
Via Powerline, where you might start before reading the transcript . And Ace of Spades, which shows the speech was cherry-picked almost entirely for its Bush-bashing. No surprise. The Democrat political agenda rules, even as circulation, advertising and credibility crater. At least they’re making the Columbia Journalism Review happy.
