Freedomnomics For The Idiocracy

Ann Coulter reports on a book that won't be on my reading list: Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't, by John Lott, who also wrote More Guns, Less Crime. (See if you can guess what that's about!)

According to Coulter, the following gems of wisdom can be found in Freedomnomics:

• Women shouldn't vote: "What changed ... that explains the growth of government? The answer is women's suffrage."

• Fox News Channel isn't conservative: "Even employees of Fox News, which is widely regarded as a conservative channel, donate 81 percent of their contributions to Democrats."

• Public schools are government re-education camps: "[P]ublic education was actually designed to spread government-approved values."

• Nothing good has come from abortion: "[A]bortion, in fact, increases crime."

• Felons vote Democrat: "Remarkably, it looks as if virtually all felons are Democrats."

It's amazing the caliber of people who apparently are still walking the streets ...
