As Scott notes below, the indispensable Thomas Sowell is ending his column. One of the things that will be missed is the aphoristic quality of his writing that has spawned a cottage industry of Sowell memes.

(And here’s to hoping the mischievous folks at Despair.com offer these as wall posters for economics departments in universities everywhere.)
