When the inmates run the asylum...

...it's the doctors they call the crazy ones:

Seems like everybody's sore at South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford these days.
And for good reason – he talks like a crazy man.
Sanford says he doesn't want to pour money on a fire. Which is crazy talk. After all, it's free money. Straight from Washington. As part of the recovery plan, federal stimuluteers earmarked $700 million for S.C. education.
Sanford balked.
Sanford says things like, when you're in a hole, stop digging. Which is crazy talk. After all, who cares how deep it gets?
But he said more than 10 percent of S.C. taxpayer money goes to debt service. If he took the $700 million, he said, he'd rather spend it on paying down the principal...

"Everybody's doing it," they say. I seem to recall being taught that doesn't justify bad behavior. Just remember, "they" spent most of Election Year 2008 laughing at folks like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff.

Stand your ground, Governor. If Uncle Sam keeps trying to force the money on you, maybe send the next "no thank you" letter postmarked Ft. Sumter. Just a thought.
