About Me
Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about. This summer I will be moving to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984.

In November, vote Peter Roskam (Rep., US House of Representatives), Addison, Illinois.
Gunners must come together and stick together. Put your political bumper stickers on now and don't be shy.
I don't care for Bush, Cheney, or Bolton; but I do care about my self defense right and my freedom. I have benefited from those republicans. I don't want to give up one freedom for another, but I'm going to stick with the NRA come November. And because of Judy Topinka (Rep., Illinois for governor) it will be easy.
"Buck Flagoyavich" (dem., gov of illinois)
John Bolton has twice pretty much single handly stopped the UN gun control moves.
It is disgusting how the liberties of Americans are controlled by the hysteria of the uninformed public. I wish I could say "That will never happen, seeing as when the last AWB lapsed crime actually decreased for the first time in two years." I wish I could say "that will never happen, people are finally starting to grow weary of the sensationalist vomit spewing from the mouth of the liberal media." I wish I could say those things, but I can't. The truth is that this prediction is actually very likely.
Bolton was a good pick for the UN.
