It’s a really interesting book proposal on economic methodolody with a strong practical AND philosophically sophisticated approuch to evaluating mathematical modeling (which sucks on many levels). I’m definitely recommending they publish it with a few suggestions of my own, including that he check out MY book lol.

He seems like a REALLY interesting guy and I intend to read his books as soon as I can get them. Check out his Amezon.com author page:

Tarantino can be fun but I’m tired of all the “genius” BS… what’s the word for it… ah yes: He’s aeight ;)

Jay Gordon, Jesse, & me will be back today 4-5pm for a second hour on racism.

It’s déjà vu all over again but no it’s NOT a re-run–fresh produce every time bla bla bla ;p
