Miscellanea - Pay Heed to Cosby Edition

Bill Cosby has taken heat from certain parts of the black community for 'airing dirty laundry in public'. His message of personal responsibility and better parenting is dead on; here is a new editorial he has written in support of his stance (hat tip to RealClearPolitics for this story and the George Will column referenced below). I'm not coming at this from a racial angle; Cosby's message is relevant to all classes, all races, and all nations. The number one problem with education is not poor schools, it's poorly educated and apathetic parents...

George Will
dips into the Social Security reform issue. His conclusion? You can't deny choice to a generation that has 35 different ways to order their coffee...

Captain Ed's been a roll lately. He hammers the NYT's Nicholas Kristof for comparing infant mortality rates in China, the land of forced abortions, with those of the USA (hat tip to Patterico's Pontifications)....

Daniel Drezner sure knows this Red-Stater's most vulnerable point (I'm going to have to resort to a mantra: must lose weight...must avoid Hardee's...must lose weight...)
