The Ever-Vacuous Greg Mankiw


My old pal Greg Mankiw did essentially a cut-and-paste from Wikipedia and the New York Times published is as a *column*. See - The Trilemma of International Finance.

*Nothing*, in some circles, is apparently still a clever thing to say (Will Durant)...

C,

Seinfeld was a show about nothing, though it was hilarious and entertaining-- something Mankiw never manages to be, not even by accident.

Yeah, he's duller than dishwater, excruciatingly irrelevant, and someone I'd kinda like to punch.

Though really, it's the idea of him as someone worth publishing/heeding that I'd like to punch.
