What do George Foreman and Lawrence Eagleburger have in common? No, they didn't both lose a match to Muhammad Ali, shill for a low-fat grill, serve as Secretary of State, or name all their sons George. Look for the answer in an update tomorrow.
Update: Eagleburger didn't name all his sons George, as Foreman did, but he did name all of them Lawrence.
Thomas Sowell has a series of columns on Townhall.com titled, A Dangerous Obsession. The columns are about the media's and academia's unending obsession with "gaps" and "disparities" in income. I highly recommend that you read them -- and anything else he writes. If politicians paid more attention to what he says the world would be a better place. To date he has published four columns in the series: Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV.
Update: Here's Part V.
