Just some blogs / articles that I think you'll find amusing/interesting/thought provoking:
1 - fun one 1st : Photoshop disasters blog - this appeared in Esquire Magazine. I have just enough experience with Photoshop to know that I would have been embarrased to have done this work and would have deleted the file altogether. That this made it into a well known and well established magazine is mind boggling.
2 - Arnold Kling is a prominent US Economist and he blogs. I love this post arguing against the next $800B "stimulus" package.
3 - Bryan Caplan is less well known but has a blog on the same host site as Kling. Here's a post that suggests a different method for the bailout. I'm not smart enough to know if its a good idea or not, but I think its at least interesting... and most certainly not going to happen. (for those on time budgets, the idea is for the Fed Gov't to promise to pay state sales taxes for us. So we go buy something, the register doesn't add the 8.75%, at the end of the day the State of CA sends a bill to Wash DC that says "we sold this much today, you owe us this much" and DC sends a check).
Enjoy!
What is economics these days?
