Relief is at hand. My son's last marching band performance was eight days ago, my daughter's last home volleyball game five days ago, my two sons' last football games today. After this, I have a few weeks of reprieve before other activities kick in . . . and I have only two children playing winter sports. Who knows, with a little luck, I'll be able to produce some new blogging material and stop eating into my writing principle.
But for now, no blogging on Saturday. I merely offer this nifty-looking site: Shadow Stats. How government fudges stats. The founder of this site seems to be doing a real public service. The whole concept of the government fudging stats reminds me of Murray Rothbard's observation that statistics are the eyes and ears of the government. Without stats, it can't function (like it can function anyway). If it can't function, maybe it'll leave us alone.
Then again, even if the government doesn't have stats, based on what I see at Shadow Stats, I'm guessing they might just fabricate them.
