I remember when he was in the news back then. I’m sad to read about his final years.

I once believed that having to contend with a classical education UK-style (ex: learning Greek and Latin) in order to be considered for professional entrance into higher government posts, medicine, the law, etc., was more than a bit too much and unnecessary. Not anymore. I see now how such education (however lampooned by, for example, the Monty Python troupe) acted as sort of a sieve of a type that would have left Boebert where she truly belongs. Am I an elitist for believing that idiots should not be given power over anyone? I don’t think so. And if only there was a similar built-in sieve but one that separates out US university high achievers who happen to be dangerous sociopaths.

One obvious problem with that model is that an education which extols Greco/Roman culture as the apex of human civilization reinforces a white supremacist view of history.

No argument there; I was talking about language only. Gotta learn irregular Latin verbs… or you can’t be a PM!!

I’m pretty sure actual Barbies, with their empty plastic skulls, are more thoughtful and reasoned than Boebert has shown herself capable. They’re literal airheads and she’s still worse.

I used to go all up in my little sister’s Barbie doll’s face all the time: “Why do you get loads and loads of accessories while my GI Joe gets near to squat!”
