Fred on Everything's latest brilliant column on the lack of scientific minds in America

Fred bemoans the US government's, less than brilliant, plan to recruit new scientists from the ranks of those who do not have a scientific bent. Those being certain minorities and women.

I give you an excerpt of his amazing rapier wit. God he is fabulous! Go and read him this instant!


"In gummint talk, “minorities” doesn’t mean minorities, like Anglo-Saxons, Greeks, Jews, men, or Chinese. No. These latter cannot be minorities because they do not have a solidly established record of incapacity. They haven’t made their bones by nonfeasance. (Since they aren’t minorities, logically they must all be majorities, or at least half the population each, which must play hell with population figures.)"

"In particular, we has done put the schools in the hands of women with low IQs and little interest in education. Women notoriously care more about feelings and niceness than performance and winning. This is far less true of intelligent women, but they are all in law offices now. The few men involved in the schools are no better, cherishing their scarce neurons like prized marbles. The average education PhD has the scintillating intelligence of a side of bacon. Think not? Read the Graduate Record scores of students going into Education. They are the dark night of the mind, with bats flapping around. Dull-witted bats."

"Solidly established record of incapacity!" Ha ha!
