Education Apparently Isn't Everything

Have you ever heard of Kenneth Jost?  It's unlikely, so let me fill you in.  Mr. Jost is the living proof that education does not provide common sense.  Alternatively, you could say that Jost demonstrates that a trained legal mind is often devoid of reason. 

Perhaps here's a better way to look at it.  The LA Times published a column by Jost in which this genius argues that the Supreme Court should declare the Electoral College to be unconstitutional.  Think about that.  The Electoral College is expressly created by the Constitution as the method for chosing the president.  Jost wants the nation's highest court to rule that the body created by the Constitution is unconstitutional.  Lest you think that this is just the argument of some uneducated moron, let me tell you that Jost's online biography says that he is "an honors graduate of Harvard College and Georgetown Law School".  He has also written numerous books about the Supreme Court.

This article by Jost ought to be extremely embarrassing for him; apparently, though, he means it all seriously.  It is not a parody.

The next time someone tells you of the glories of education, tell them about this guy.  Education clearly isn't everything.  You really do need more.
