F*** Veggies

A picture says a thousand words, or in this case just two. My personal mantra: F*** Vegetables. 

Goofy

I have to say Brad DeLong is a goofy guy. My main evidence is his new google video series Morning Coffee. I mean, put some clothes on would you? I do have to give him some credit for pushing on new technologies. Some have worked and others have not been so successful. Oh well, we economists are a nerdy bunch (to be spoken while taking an awkward drag out of my coke can).

Christian Community

Another porn shop was shut down. The money quote comes from the chief of police.

"This is trash, and I hope this is the end of it for our community and for the Christian community and everybody out here. I hope this is the end of it," said Pocola Police Chief Eric Helms.

I'm glad to know his oath included protecting and serving the Christian community. But I wonder how shutting down a porn shop protects them? I guess it keeps them from going in. What an idiot.

Problems of Progressivity

The Aplia Blog does a nice job of informing and collecting the recent discussion on the progressivity (or lack thereof) of the Bush tax cuts.
