Well, I guess I should have seen
this coming for ages; or at least since I saw D-Mill's more recent appearances on Jay Leno's show. There are no second acts in American life, but if there were there would be more Republican celebrities, it seems.
As for
this, two words: oral fixation. (You see, Freud can take over where economics leaves off . . .)
Per Biggie's most recent post, this is why it makes a lot of sense that college education costs are increasing--if you don't think there's a good chance that a top-tier technical degree (or another kind of degree that will get you into a good professional school) is worth $200K, then you haven't been on food stamps. I figure by this, we should also note that law schools are severely underpriced, though perhaps they're trying to generate good for future endowments.
And to round everything off,
this is interesting, mostly because of Hamermesh's quote: "And his stuff on sumo wrestlers -- well, this is not exactly fundamental, unless you're Japanese and weigh 500 pounds." It's also amusing because of the fact that the articles suggests that macroeconomics will become obsolete soon. Which I hope it doesn't.
I had come up with the idea for the show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," but titled it "Aren't Homosexuals Neat?" Suffice to say, I didn't do a good job of salesmanship.
