Naked runners face registering as sex offenders
Twelve of the runners who streaked the Pearl Street Mall on Friday night wearing nothing but pumpkins on their heads will have to register as sex offenders if they are convicted of indecent exposure.
The 10th year of the Naked Pumpkin Run started as usual — with laughter, beer and [...]

Watching E.T. earlier today, it occurred to me that I have more trouble believing federal agents would be as kind as Peter Coyote’s character if E.T. actually came to earth than I have trouble believing E.T. would come to earth in the first place.

From Arnold Kling’s Economists with Pseudo-Knowledge:
…the economics profession for the past thirty years instead focused on producing stochastic calculus porn to satisfy young men’s urge for mathematical masturbation.

I know.  I’ve been silent.  But I’ve been busy and too cranky to write.  Rather than unleashing any number of vitriolic rants here, I’ve instead spent my precious free time being, well, uncharacteristically domestic.  I’ve gotten back into cooking—baked an apple pie, sliced strawberries for freezing, among other tasks—and puttered around my house organizing things [...]
