#2 I echo Asedwich's assessment.

Recently finished a book co-authored by Mr. Stein tilted Can America Survive? It's at your local library. I recommend the book to all who inhabit the land of Rantburg.

#3 Agreed. An honest plain-spoken classy man - a serious well-informed thinker with that all too often missing secret ingredient: common sense. He's got buckets full. He should be scooped up, if he'll agree, to assist with countering MSM stupidity. He could do it in his sleep. ;-)

#4 His column is the one "must read" in The American Spectator.

#5 I second Mark Z's recommendation for "Can America Survive"? Just got it this weekend at the library. If any of you are in Phoenix, I promise to return it by Sunday so you can get it at Burton Barr Library. ;)

#7 Thanks for the tip, Mark and DB. I've seen the book and wondered about it---now I know how I'll be spending my holiday BN.com gift card.
I was a big fan of the "Win Ben Stein's Money" show and was almost dumbfounded by the insight he showed in rare interviews. It's definitely time to dig a little deeper and read up on Ben Stein.

#8 How To Ruin Your Life is quite good too.
