Although my econ-article to-do list is still lengthy and growing, this weekend I have to spend most of my time constructing a quick-start program for introducing baby boomers to the game of bridge. (It’s heavy on visuals, which are by far the best way I’ve found to get a message across; but they’re also time-consuming to set up. There goes the weekend.)
Anyway, here are a few items I had in my links file; you'll find a few of them interesting if not surprising.
• Bill Gates & Warren Buffett are slugging it out in Omaha this weekend.
• Thomas Jefferson was not a strict constructionist; he had some doubts.
• A housing bubble? Guess again.
• Intelligent design versus science, part 1: No more monkey trials.
• Intelligent design versus science, part 2: Would both sides think a little harder, please?
• Steve Forbes on the immigration incompetence of the Bush administration.
• Interested in energy independence? Here’s an excellent hydrogen economy primer.
