John Lott and NYT's Pillar of Snide

Damn, Betsy! You go.

She goes after the NYT treatment of the Lott-Hassett study. In particular, she points to the con-FISK-ication by Donald Luskin.

Full disclosure of my own: John Lott is a friend, for two decades.

Those are some good points.

And calling Don Luskin "stalker" is pretty funny.

OK, Duke students, here's your chance to refresh your test-taking skills for the GRE and have fun at the same time! Complete the analogy:

Tim Lambert calling Don Luskin a stalker is like
______ calling ________ a _________.

(a) Yoko Ono, Martha Stewart, bitch
(b) Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, skank
(c) a Tar Heel, UVa, the most overrated school in America
(d) Mike Munger, Nan Keohane, recluse

Gosh, those are ALL good.

But I would pick "d".

Except that I don't want to go outside. Someone might see me.
