With his B.A. from Harvard, M.A. from Columbia, and Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago, Thomas Sowell might just be the best-educated* dimwit in America. How else are we to explain his latest column , the thrust of which is: George Zimmerman should never have been tried for killing Trayvon Martin, oh and also Obama is a lawless usurper, because why not throw that in there? Actually, that last bit provides a clue to an alternative explanation for this column’s existence that doesn't rely on Thomas Sowell's astonishingly stupidity: Thomas Sowell earns a good living by expounding silly, unsupportable, poorly conceived “ideas” that appeal to lunatic right-wingers and make everyone else’s heads explode. Are there any other possibilities?

Speaking of lawlessness, has anyone from Dubya's administration been charged with war crimes yet?

Do not read the comments without your asbestos eyeballs.
I&#039;m no lawyer, but IMHO claims of self-defense should always be decided by a jury.
