James Tobin, Nobel Prize winner, died this past week. He won the Nobel in economics for his work on portfolio theory. He is also known for his idea to tax foreign exchange transactions (”Tobin Tax”) to stablize currencies. Godspeed, James.

UPDATE (I feel like Glenn […]
A good thing about the Final Four is that anything can happen. There are early match-ups which look like lopsided affairs on paper that turn out to be really exciting games. Anybody can win (except a 16 seed) and you watch the games for just that reason.
A bad thing about the tournament […]
Last time I heard, guns were still legal in the USA. An item for both self-defense and sport, guns play a significant role in many people’s lives. While having every right to do so, Google–the King of all search engines–refuses gun advertisements.

Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill has little influence on administration policy. He would love to see the corporate tax eliminated, but has made no push to even start a debate. He opposed steel tariffs imposed a few weeks ago, but his only reaction is an off-the-record comment to the Council of Foreign Relations. […]

It appears that Slate was fooled by a man named Ravi Desai. If it’s him, then it’s another hoax to add to his list. He’s tricked a number of universities by telling them he was going to give hefty donations.

Here are some excerpts from Capt. Ron Henderson of the USS John F. Kennedy:
We are currently preceding at best speed to our launch
point for tonight’s strikes, off the coast of Pakistan,
nearly 700 miles south of our targets in Afghanistan. At
midnight, CVW 7 will launch into the dark night, and strike
their first blows of Operation […]
A future U.S. Army will have robots roaming the air and ground, light-weight, but heavily-armed tanks, and battlefield sensors connecting troops and equipment. The Army wants all this along with the ability to deploy 4000 troops anywhere in the world in 96 hours.

Mayor Norquist may have declared today “Blue and Gold Day” in honor of Marquette’s first round game of the NCAA tournament, but the Golden Eagles (AKA Warriors) disappointed fans by losing to Tulsa. The last 15 seconds were especially frustrating watching a nationally-ranked team run around the court like it was their first day […]
Rep. Dan Burton’s House Committee on Government Reform released a report on Bill Clinton’s last-minute pardons. Clinton backers were all on the same page. A Clinton spokeswoman said the report “is filled with nothing but partisan accusations and innuendoes” and “contains no proof of wrongdoing.” Ranking Democrat on the Government Reform Committee, […]
From the Pot Calling the Kettle Black Department:
North Korea is calling the Bush White House “lunatics” for putting it on the list as potential nuclear targets. This is the same “sane” nation that clings to Marxism so tightly that their people starve just so the military is well fed.

There’s a vast (Right Wing?) conspiracy trapping people in ever-expanding frames. Will Hutton calls that conspriacy the modern world. “Obesity, in short, is the result of modernity,” writes Hutton. Fat people are “the victims of the great economic and social forces that generate obesity.” At the same time, Hutton understands that […]
“Wrongful life” suits have reached Australia. What would these three children think if they knew their parents would have aborted them if they were informed about their medical conditions? How can a parent look into their child’s eyes and tell them they love them unconditionally after filing such an awful lawsuit? Maybe […]
