Treating the press with the respect they deserve in this situation.
Year: 2007
A while back, I mentioned finding a Pac-Man monster mosaic near my house. While turning onto Waugh from Allen Parkway, I found another one:
This one is of a monster after the Pac-Man has eaten an energizer. Now I need to really start paying attention to see if I can find the rest, for surely there are more.
• Las Vegas was fun, if not profitable. Got Penn & Teller’s autographs. I highly encourage everyone to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame Musuem, which is not only a ton of fun, but also a registered non-profit which benefits the Salvation Army!
• I got cast as the King in HITS production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, which runs April 5th through 14th.
• It’s cold.
Michael Munger, They Clapped, Can Price-Gouging Laws Prohibit Scarcity: Library of Economics and Liberty:
Well, but what if you seek a political solution, rather than trusting markets? What if you pass an anti-gouging law, to symbolize your opposition to scarcity? Scarcity hurts; it means that I can’t have everything I want. Let’s abolish scarcity; what then? As I have tried to argue, all a state accomplishes by passing an anti-gouging law is to ensure that there is no ice. I can’t get it for $100, or $1,000. And too many citizens say, “Help: the market has failed! Let’s call on government to rescue us!”
But they are wrong. Markets didn’t fail. All that happened was that the price mechanism was bound and gagged, held hostage in the attic of the legislature.
Saberage, Texas-style!
