What a strange dude. I can see dreaming of being Italy, at least for dinner time, or England for a pub lunch, or Ireland for green hills and friendly people, or Germany for the autobahn, but dreaming of China for its government, even for a day? And this guy is one of our great public sages. [read post]

I'm interesting in gambling and risk, in case you had not noticed. I don't have the mathematical chops to do it in the best way, but I try to make sure my intuitions line up with sound principles.  I know I can't count cards worth a damn for instance, so I don't play blackjack. I buy index funds because I have proven to myself I can't, or evidently don't anyway, outsmart the market. So how would I bet on the upcoming election between Mitt and the great { }? My… [read post]

I wasn't using the dataplan on my iPad much so I decided to cancel it.  Now I know what it feels like to get a divorce. It's not like you can just walk away. It turns out can't just turn off the feature, not unless you go to a special department and sign up for something called pre-pay, in which case you pay 14.95 a month for anything under 250 mg and then 30 bucks for up to 3 gb after that.  But by then I'd already been on the phone for maybe 45 minutes.  I… [read post]

A statistical analysis that purports to show which Supreme Court Justices tend to rely more on clerks to write their opinions -- and it looks pretty plausible to me.  I think there are more powerful ways to measure stylistic consistency, so I'm not sure why the authors chose the method they did. But one of them is a professor of statistics so presumably he knows best.   Two leaders in clerk dependence -- wait for it -- former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of Rattlesnake Gulch,… [read post]

From last Sunday's New York Times: In some cases, that clash of visions can be explosive. One woman, a professor from New York, remembers clearly when she reached the breaking point with close friends. The trouble had started when the friends instituted a 6 p.m. bedtime for their preschool-age son. Then there was the banishing of all creativity-squashing, bright-colored plastic toys. Then there was the diet — raw parsnips, duck eggs, sunflower butter — all ordered up by a… [read post]

A good WSJ editorial. I am unexpectedly encouraged by the tenor of the oral arugments as I have heard them reported and on the basis on listening to the second day of arguments.  I wish this all did not turn on what Justice Kennedy decides, but there it is.  Perhaps he shall have to retire and listen for that small, still voice of the median voter.  He at least seems to get that requiring people to enter commerce in order to regulate it would amount to an important, even… [read post]
