Nobel’s get it right

I can’t believe they picked Smith and Kahneman are excellent choices. Kahneman and Tversky and Smith have opened a whole new line of inquiry that really allows us to test how people behave. Econ has always assumed that peopel are rational. In many cases though, we saw evidence to the contrary. Experimental economics is giving us the ability to investigate how people make decisions under different conditions and explode rationality into a useful concept beyond its theoretical parsimony. And go to Dynamist.com for some articles on Smith and his work.

Calling Keith Olbermann

Videoshot of ball going out and then camera cuts to Senator Arlen Spector. Keith Olbermann: And that is a single bullet to right, and there is Senator Arlen Spector with a theory.

Or something like that–I laughed so hard I cried. The same happened when I read this the other day. Perhaps the investigation will end in being “Not Proven.”

Massive Voter Fraud Watch

Ummmmm…in college there was a “scandal” in Iowa about 130 voters who were somehow funky in their registration. It turned out to be….nothing. Well this is a bit more. Two bad apps. Massive. See Talking Points Memo for more and look for Kit Bond at a corner bar near you!

Zogby has Illinois wrong

I’m really not that critical of Zogby. He has experimented with some intriguing techniques to solve the reduction in response rates. However, the last few polls are funky. Here is some continuing evidence of the problem. CBS 2 has Blago and J-Ry at the same numbers as several polls including Zogby’s last one and the Durbin-Durkin race is dead on with others.

The other problem is inane political reporting.

Besides watching me embarrass my self by not being able to make fun of Sullivan properly and a variety of grammatical and spelling horrors this evening–the pictures of the shutdown highways is a stunning graphic on tv.

Breaking News

Aaron Brown was just forced to try and describe the interview with a guy who heard from a guy about the van that was maybe white and maybe had something like ladder stuff on it in the area near the sniper. And it wasn’t Larry King who did the interview.
