Thought for the day

The Washington Post apparently asked various luminaries to name one thing the world would just get rid of and Donna Brazile offered a suggestion that would afford her considerably more free time: let's get rid of the pundits! If a single move could restore civility to politics, that is it. Get rid of the left-vs.-right commentators who are just out scoring points for their team. This sort of opinion-mongering is not only boring and predictable, it is destructive of the truth. If your only credentials are "GOP shill" or "Democratic hack," you've no business cluttering up the airwaves or the op-ed pages. My momma always told me that if you don't know what you're talking about, it's best to keep your mouth shut. That's good advice, Donna. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
