Pandagon Vs Thomas Sowell

Quite a funny and apt piece by Pandagon: When Civility Turns Into...More Civility. He takes Thomas Sowell to task for his recent piece, Rebuilding New Orleans.

Sowell: No doubt the inevitable post mortems on this tragic episode will turn up many cases where things could have been done better. But who can look back honestly at his own life without seeing many things that could have been done better? Just thinking about all the mistakes you have made over a lifetime can be an experience that is humbling, if not humiliating.

Pandagon: Remember back in ninth grade when you wanted to ask Jimmy Copeland to your school's winter formal, and when you were going up to talk to him, you tripped over a bookbag you didn't see and fell flat on your face? That was just like the gross mismanagement of a massive disaster that it's your one and only job to deal with, asshole!
