Thomas Sowell: For those of us who like to believe that human beings are rational, trying to explain what happens in politics can be a real challenge. For example, that segment of the population that has the least to fear from a reform of Medicare or Social Security is the most fearful — namely, those already receiving Medicare or Social Security benefits.

Maybe if we just distance ourselves from the anti-abortion nutjobs; the xenophobes who hate the best, most noble brown lettuce pickers among us, yearning to be free; and adopt the narrative that Obama is very nice, very likeable good man who it just so happens had a bit more trouble being President than he might otherwise have had had he more time to prepare for the job; then the media

Deaf pre-schooler told he can’t sign his name in sign language because it looks like a gun. … … … Reached for comment, the Onion simply quit, then went and got itself a sandwich.
