Saturday Economics Snark

The Economist responds to economist Eugene Fama, who said:

Economists Strongly Prefer Obama over McCain

An article in the October 2nd Economist asks professoinal economists what they think about McCain vs. Obama.

And You Thought the Mad Biologist Could Be Critical of Economics...

If you thought I could be critical about economics, Peter Radford, at Real World Economics, is vicious in answering the question "

Dismal, yes, but is it science?

As I was driving home from work today, I was listening to Marketplace on public radio.

Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Sometimes we need to look Down!
What makes earthquakes? Although there are many causes, including volcanoes, the most common thing that causes them are tectonic motions, which also cause tsunamis. But as valuable as it is to understand other planets in our solar system and in other star systems, sometimes it's important to understand what's going on inside our own planet. The crust of the Earth actually is made up of a number…
Why do only some ants sting?
Although these two ants in northern Argentina look like they're ignoring each other, they are in fact doing just the opposite. This end-to-end confrontation is an intense chemical duel. What's particularly interesting about the image is the juxtaposition of two different defense systems. At left is Forelius nigriventris, a speedy little insect armed with a nozzle at the tip of the abdomen that…
