When Duncan mentioned that Jay Bhattacharya is his friend; that brought me tremendous joy.
Clifton, you might find some informative and delightful material listening to Mr. Sowell and his dear friend Walter Williams banter back and forth when Mr. Williams guest hosted for Rush Limbaugh. These were my favorite Limbaugh episodes. Also listen to Mr Sowell testify in support of Supreme Court judge nominee. I believe it was Clarence Thomas - but may have been Robert Bork.
