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.

Mungowitz said...: Those are some good points.

And calling Don Luskin "stalker" is pretty funny.; 9:42 PM, September 14, 2004

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; 11:51 AM, September 15, 2004
Mungowitz said...: Gosh, those are ALL good.

But I would pick "d".

Except that I don't want to go outside. Someone might see me.; 8:41 AM, September 16, 2004
