You might want to start with Robert Shiller. * * * * * * * Happy birthday to my Mom. * * * * * * * Remember that St. Patrick's Day beating of that Baltimore tourist? Well, they've apprehended two of the miscreants and they've identified two more. Maybe we'll get the full story. I can't imagine those fine people did all that without proper provocation.
