Humor: Harford-The Economist’s Guide to Happiness
On 9 August 2009, Tim Harford wrote The Economist’s Guide to Happiness in London’s TimesOnline.
Note: This link is (very, very) distantly related to my 20 September 2009 pointer to Michael Sandel’s PBS series on Justice. [I hope some of you saw the first Sandel show.]

Mission Accomplished – Faith In Our Citizens Restored
Follow this link to a letter to the editor of the Worcester Telegram and Gazette. The author of the letter begins:
The results of the Telegram & Gazette poll regarding public opinion of President Barack Obama’s education address restored some of my faith in our citizens. In the poll, about 86 percent said they thought people were going too far in protesting the president’s speech being broadcast to schoolchildren. Only 14 percent said that the country has not gone too far when parents don’t want kids to hear the president talk on TV about education.
I like to think my publishing of these results in the previous blog post, Preventing People From Hearing The President, had some benefit.
Recently Sharon and I were pondering the choices we have made on where to live since we have been married. The most favorable spin I could put on it is that we have been on a 40 year mission to live among the badly informed and try to bring the truth to our neighbors. I guess it runs in the family.
Michael Sandel: Justice-What’s the Right Thing to Do?
Two years ago, Michael Sandel (Harvard Professor of Government) offered an online course to Harvard alumni. The course was called “Justice” and it was superb.
Our local PBS station (WGBH) is televising a series by Professor Sandel titled Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do?
The series begins in Boston on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009.
For televising on PBS, 50 minute classes are cut to 30 minutes each and two classes are shown each Sunday.
If this series is televised in your area, I strongly recommend it to you.
UPDATE 26 Sept 2009: The New York Times has an article on the series:
Morals Class is Starting; Please Pass the Popcorn.
Obama Correct To Reorient Missile Shield
The result of this poll shows that the intelligence level of the average Worcester T & G reader is growing by leaps and bounds. They could even see through the biased way the question was phrased to come up with the intelligent conclusion that 67.5% agreed with the President in how he is reorienting the missile defense shield against potential Iranian missiles.
President Obama Speaks To Wall Street
Follow this link to the C-SPAN video of President Obama’s address to Wall Street on September 14, 2009.
At about 12:25 into the speech, the President said he wants the new rules to …make sure that markets reward those who compete honestly and vigorously within the system instead of those who are trying to game the system.
Fox News Newspaper Ad Makes False Claims About Tea Party Coverage
I cannot verify CNN’s claims that Faux Noise lied. I don’t watch either network if I want news. So all I can say is, I report, you decide
.
For those of my friends that demand proof of my claims that Faux Noise lies, maybe you can do the research on this and tell me who is right. I trust your unbiased judgment on this, NOT.
