"Barring the sort of improbable upset that happens at least once every other weekend and makes college football the greatest spectator sport ever crafted by talking apes, the Michigan Wolverines will lose to Michigan State this afternoon.
If so, then embattled Michigan head coach Brady Hoke may soon be seeking new employment.
College football coaches are a costly investment and failure is often swiftly punished.
Imagine if costly public policy failure was judged with the same ruthless critical eye.
We’re still winless in the War on Drugs, yet firing the coach - changing the policy - hasn’t happened for 40-plus years.
The perils of addiction - the only problem that should be addressed - are still more than with us. The criminal element with the profit motive to make the problem worse is predictably stronger.
We have jacked up our prison population from 300,000 to 2.3 million since 1973.
The “Land of the Free” cages a larger percentage of its people than every nation on the planet, yet still has inner city neighborhoods fought over by murderous drug gangs.
Even our foreign affairs are a mess as a result.
The violence on our southern border is drug fueled and the terrorists we fight in Afghanistan are often funded with heroin profits.....
