And which nobel prize winning economist did you have in mind? James Heckman, Daniel McFadden, Robert Lucas? I mean, how do you think that George Akerlof's study on the role of asymmetric information in the market for "lemon" used cars would assist a president in making decisions about foreign policy. Seriously though, this guy's research uses sociology, psychology, anthropology among others. And his areas of expertise include macroeconomics, poverty, family problems, crime, discrimination, monetary policy and German unification. Someone like that, perhaps, though I'd have to know more about their stand on other social issues. Otherwise, "nobel prize-winning economist" is just an arbitrary category. Obviously, you are going to find someone more intelligent there than Bush, but it isn't as though "intelligence" is the issue. I mean, Bush has a lot of people working under him actually making the decisions, writing the policy, etc. who are "intelligent" (even if I disagree passionately with almost everything they do and how they do it). In terms of who I'd like to see as a world LEADER, I'm not immediately taken with any of these guys. Well, except for maybe Amartya Sen, but he could never be our president anyway. Unless of course we were to suddenly be colonized by India. And no, I haven't really done any in depth reading, just a cursory glance from this site. Now, having said that, I would most certainly vote for *J* |

"again,...wouldn't you like to have an intelligent human being run this country?" I want someone whose "ass could make her a Sunday face." VOTE FOR J I want a president I can respect and who displays many qualities needed for leadership. I'm assuming that person would be more intelligent than Dubya. But that's too easy. I'm more intelligent than Dubya, but you don't me for president. I would run on a pretentious post-structuralist-materialist-feminist-jedi-goddess platform and would garner support by make Simpson's, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings refrences in all my campaign speeches. My first gentleman would replace the secret service with professional wrestlers, put "Bob" on the ten dollar bill, and excavate the front lawn of the white house. VOTE FOR J |

I got a gift from you-know-who yesterday. 17 CDs, chocolate, jelly babies (like gummi bears, but babies...yes, babies) and a stamp with my name on it. How hotshit is that? |
we've never seen sem this kookoo. 17cds??? aside hearing Johnny Cash do an accoustic cover of Depeche Mode's 'Pesonal Jesus' is so.....whats the word.......help me out here.... |
".....reach out and touch me...." its so so...so.... |
Speaking of unfortunate covers, I heard Joan Osborne and Isaac Hayes do "Smiling Faces Sometimes". Holy crap was that bad. |

like Doctor Who eats. They are kinda funky tasting. Not only did Kazoo get 17 CDs, she got 17 very GOOD cds, ranging from several Zappa albums to Fela Kuti to Muse and Hum. plus, of course, a certain soundtrack. I wish I could have been there when she saw that one. |
