Ha. Hahahahahahahahaha.
leading the Times this morning is the news that the unemployment rate has rised to its highest level since April 1994. the following quote amuses me on so many levels:
"We have yet to see the post-Saddam bounce," William V. Sullivan, an economist at Morgan Stanley, told viewers on CNBC.
POST-SADDAM BOUNCE! i love it!
...because we probably haven't entered the post-saddam era yet (whatever that might mean!); because a "bounce" is a flimsy plan for an economic recovery; because...were we really expecting the war to be good for the country? i hope not, because it doesn't look like it's happening.
oh, and happy fourth of july. laurel's coming today, and we're going to spend the holiday in good midwestern fashion -- hanging out at the cabin with the fam, setting off illegal fireworks. woo hoo.

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
