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.

It was the coolest summer for me: the beginning was hot but then cool occurred more than hot. And the most telltale was lake temperature: it was always too cold to swim, and this was unusual.
Everytime I traveled north it was too cool - for me the planet was cooling not warming. As I age I gain more arthritis; warming would be a dream come true.
All we need now is for a democrat victory in 2008 and I can guarantee the planet will warm. But if the highly unlikely occurs and a republican wins the presidency then the weather will stay cool, I will swim less, and only the event 'rumors' will occur, not the truth. So for the planet to be warming due to pollution the greenies must elect a democrat, and for that they are going to do all they can, otherwise they will be wrong.
So you see a democrat victory guarantees global warming. A republican victory guarantees cooling. Because of my health should I vote democrat ?
Or, what type of person counts penguins? Democrat or republican ? A increase in penguins means the planet is warming and vice versa. But does it depend on who counts ? On the other hand, does more ice reduce the population or increase it ? The answer depends on who answers it - democrat or republican. See, it's the next election that determines whether the planet warms or cools, or truth or lies.
