RICK

I don't know if there's a loose connection or a short-circuit in Rick Santorum's wiring, but something's goofy about this ex-senator who wants to be president.
One late reminder was his warning to our youth, over the weekend, about the perils of a college education.
Such an experience, said Santorum in a Michigan speech, can turn normal, sensible, right-thinking students into flaming liberals, in the mold of Barack Obama.
Calling colleges "indoctrination mills," Santorum labeled the president a snob for urging kids to go there.
Actually, here's specifically what Obama had urged in a particular speech to Congress three years ago: "I ask every American to commit to at least one year of higher education or career training. This can be community college, vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma."
Sounds sensible. How many employers do you know who hire youngsters to good jobs straight out of high school?
Santorum himself got exposed to higher education quite a bit -- undergraduate degree from Penn State, MBA from Pittsburgh and law degree from Dickinson. And through all that he emerged ...... not as a liberal, but as a confirmed, bone-headed apostle of the far right.
