The second video with Sowell/Rose which says image not available, is INCORRECT.
click on video to play, also, it's a long version
of my previous clipped youtube video.

(Guilty: I must admit that I did have to smile when listening to Sowell's assessment of John McCain..).

Meanwhile, the band played on on the deck of the Titanic... What was that word again? What is it 'the definition of' when one continues to try the same strategy multiple times, yet somehow expects a different result? ...

Ah, yes. Insanity.

I'm blaming some of this on <A href="http://pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/69117/">Glenn</A>: his link yesterday to the Milton Friedman video on "Greed" has led to a lot of You Tube exploration.
