Another Lame Editorial
I am tipping the hat here to Jared Wheeler. He keeps serving up material that is just too good.
After reading this article, I hoped for the periodical's sake that it was an editorial, but even then, I think this article should be embarrassing to the paper.
Okay, so Mr. Weinstein, here's the deal: the job market is riper for STEM graduates than liberal arts majors. Maybe, it's an overreach of the state's power for it to actually monetarily favor one program over another, but let's face the facts, if we are talking about jobs and economic growth, anthropology and the arts can't hold a candle to engineering, computer science, and other applied sciences and maths. It's not that the liberal arts aren't worth studying... they just don't pay you back in cold hard cash as well as studying the sciences and mathematics.
The governor was talking about jobs. But, Mr. Weinstein has to create some underlying motives to make his article more interesting. And so, Rick Scott is really trying to squelch free thought and progressive education, whereby students are nurtured to challenge established social norms and stand up for equality... Oh, those racist Tea Partiers!

MSNBC vs. Hermain Cain
This video makes for an interesting watch. Lawrence O'Donnell does a pretty good job trying to get Herman Cain to look bad or make a statement that he would regret, but seriously I think the MSNBC host just caused Herman Cain to shine brighter.
Although Cain gives a few answers that seem to dance around the questions, he largely hits O'Donnell's questions right on and also attacks the reasoning that O'Donnell seems to be using in his questions. This candidate makes O'Donnell look like an idiot... it's too funny.
