Almost perfect

Dave Rubin shares a clip of a 5th grade teacher calmly arguing facts in the face a near-hysterical, blind anger about the truth of sex and gender. His argument is almost, but not quite perfect.


The part that's missing is a simple explanation of the consequences (both intended and unintended consequences) of not adhering to facts.  To do so without getting into the slippery slope arguments is still entirely possible, and necessary. That's the important part that's missing, otherwise, very well done.

Jack Lew is almost perfect for Treasury Secretary

President Obama has nominated Jack Lew as the replacement for Tim Geithner as the Secretary of the Treasury.  Jack Lew, an Obama appointee is bound to be a disappointment but for this administration, at this time, he's almost perfect for the job simply because of his grade-school signature that everyone is mocking.

The reason is simple.  As secretary, his name will go on the currency and as you can see in the photo, his name contains almost enough zeroes to represent the annual budget deficit. I count 9 zeroes.  Put a 1 in front of it and that's a billion.  Only three more zeroes and his name would look like the tail end of a trillion.

Almost perfect for the Obama deficits, but as in all things Obama, just a bit short of reality.


If it weren't so sad, it'd be funny.
