How clearly I recall James Galbraith (a conspiracy guy) excitedly leaning in to bestow upon me The Actual Truth of the JFK killing… UD stood in the living room of John Kenneth Galbraith’s Vermont farmhouse (stood for a long time; it’s an incredibly elaborate story) politely waiting for Jamie to finish, but he never finished. Dinner was announced, and I was rescued.
Now, centuries later, Trump, with similar excitement, attempts to stimulate ol’ UD with the use of titillating clues about the CIA, Oswald, Ruby, and the Trilateral Commission. Vote for me and you’ll see how Jamie’s conspiracy was TRUE!
But if much younger, higher-estrogen-level UD failed to respond to JFK conspiracy blandishments, imagine how little the much older UD responds.
And now think about how everyone born after 1953 is likely to respond.

Is this the very same Jamie who recently coauthored an essay supporting a national price gouging law?

Not sure. Economist, U Texas.

Yup, same guy, and I had some fun with that essay on my site earlier today. Plus some Herzog ballast hoppers rolled through Galesburg over the weekend.
