The Crowhill Journal

Pigweed and Crowhill do a “Nooze and Booze” episode on the passing madness.

Pigweed and Crowhill drink and review Lagunita’s Brown Shugga, a brewing mistake that turned into a “special ale” in their regular rotation. It’s quite good.

Once they lubricate the mind muscles, the boys turn their attention to recent proposals by some Democrats to make college free.

Is free college a good idea?

No, it’s not!

First, not everyone should go to college. College should be for the intellectual elite. Many people should pursue trades, not degrees.

Second, colleges are hardly “institutions of higher learning” any more. They’re mostly left-wing indoctrination centers. The liberals want free college because they know that colleges are mostly liberal and they want to push the culture to the left.

Free college is stupid enough, but it gets even worse. What about proposals to forgive student debt?

If we forgive the debt of people who made wrong decisions and got into a lot of debt, what do we do with the frugal people who paid their way? Do they get paid back?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren had her “Joe the Plumber” moment when a man confronted her with exactly that question.

It’s a good question.

Free college puts people in situations where they are likely to fail. It takes people who might have been successful and happy in a trade and makes them failures in something they aren’t prepared for. That’s not helping.

… of the impeachment was that Trump tried to leverage foreign aid for political purposes, since Biden was an opponent.

After Iowa, can anyone really say Biden is / was a legit opponent?

I have a 7 hour drive coming up in a few weeks, and I’m thinking about what to listen to.

If you know a good audio book that’s about that length, please post it in the comments.

The culture continues to get more coarse, while alleged social conservatives say, “Oh, isn’t that awful” and do nothing. Except they don’t quite do nothing. They continue to watch. And, often, allow their children to watch.

As I tweeted this morning, “It’s not good enough to complain afterwards. It’s time for decent people to send the #NFL a message and pledge to #turnoffthehalftimeshow next year. We’ve had way too much of this.”
