Why I Like Sowell

Two paragraphs from one of Thomas Sowell's latest articles:

How can a President of the United States be re-elected in a landslide after four years when unemployment never fell below 15 percent for even one month during his first term? Franklin D. Roosevelt did it by blaming it all on the previous administration. Barack Obama may be able to achieve the same result the same way.

Can you name the only baseball player to bat .382 in his last year in the major leagues? The first five readers who can will receive a free copy of my new book, "Applied Economics."

Sowell's smart, and he knows what's important. (The answer, by the way, is Shoeless Joe Jackson; he was banned from baseball after the 1919 World Series).
