The Minsky Moment

I meant "big" part not "bit" . . .
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Don't worry, the chances of Ide ever getting to lead a purge are about the same as his joining the Supreme Court.

Log castle? :P

Just busting your balls.  I realize you just take a scholarly if enthusiastic interest in our right wing, not that you identify with them.  If we were a Muslim country, it'd be positively orientalist.  I'd call it Psellusesque, but I've never caught you breaking Republicans down into weird phenotypic categories and physically lusting over your favorites.

What disturbing tastes do I have? :angry:
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
