This morning while cleaning up breakfast dishes, I had the Sunday Morning show on in the background.  I generally enjoy the show, but I'm always disappointed—and baffled—when they cede the "opinion" section to Ben Stein.

The Sunday Morning host, Charles Osgood, is thoughtful, and (and this is key) rational.  Ben Stein is such a contrast.  To me, putting Stein on Sunday Morning is like putting Jerry Springer on Frontline, or having Ronald McDonald on The French Chef.

Today's Steinian wisdom dropping is that Obama should vow do do nothing until at least 2010.  The solution to all economic problems, according to Stein, is that we should simply "let things be" and order and prosperity will naturally evolve.  (Well, he didn't actually say "evolve", but that's what he meant.)

His rationale?  The Beatles.  Seriously, according to Stein, "If it was good enough for the Beatles, it should be good enough for all of us."

Nice cherry picking, Ben.  Somehow, I can't imagine you're willing to follow your own "logic" very far.
