Presidential Economics

In recent months, as the economy has taken first stage, I’ve started following a few economist’s blogs (never thought I would ever say that). Greg Mankiw is a Harvard Economics professor and surely leans right as he has been an economic adviser to President Bush and John McCain. The other, who leans only slightly left, is Casey Mulligan, a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago.
Interestingly enough, these two economists follow each other’s blogs and often comment on the other’s analysis. Following both, I feel I get a fairly well rounded view of things.
Why is BYU successfull right now?

Mendenhall talks to players before 2006 TCU game -- From Wikipedia
It’s all summed up in a single quote from BYU’s head coach, Bronco Mendenhall:
“What’s happening here isn’t about me,” he says. “My ultimate goal is for my job to be expendable, where I could walk away from this program and have it continue on without missing a beat. We’re a lot closer to that than we were three years ago.”
He’d like to work himself out of a job! Now how many FBS (Division-I) coaches would ever say that?

Every once in a while, you get the opportunity in life to see something that others will never see. Tonight my wife calls on my way home from work.
“There’s a huge spider on the porch! It’s as big as a tarantula!”
Of course she was exaggerating…. so I thought. I told her to save it in a bottle. When I got home, I found a freaked out mother and kids that were a little anxious…. and a big old massive wolf spider (we think).
So after Emily left to go to a volleyball game, I broke out the spider to get some picture. Check it out! Click the pix for the full size. They are fun!
