Get Off His Back
The link is to an article written by Ben Stein. I didn't know all of his resume. I just thought he was an actor.
The Urban Legends Reference Pages site has this to say about Stein:
Many people are evidently unfamiliar with Ben Stein as a political figure, knowing him primarily through his acting roles in films such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off and his television work (as the monotonic science teacher Mr. Cantwell in the TV series The Wonder Years, and as the host of the game show Win Ben Stein's Money.) However, Ben Stein, a lawyer by training, has also served as a speechwriter for President Richard M. Nixon, has to date authored sixteen books (both novels and non-fiction efforts), and continues to write editorials and columns for a number of publications, including The American Spectator.
We need more people out there with this kind of common sense.
