Amateur Hour

http://spectator.org/archives/2009/08/04/amateur-hour Every country has two "establishments:" 1) the people who practice their craft for a living, understand their job, and know what it is they're doing; and 2) the political class, which generally consists of people skilled at revving up crowds by not knowing what they're talking about. How a country prospers depends on which of these groups gets to run things.
