So how long have you been a black quarterback?

Sports Illustrated has a great piece on the dumbest questions asked during all the Super Bowl hype. While Doug Williams wasn't actually asked how long he had been a black QB, the Super Bowl does seem to bring out sports writer's best stupidity.

Free to Choose

PBS is running a documentary on Milton Friedman. He died this past year, and remains my favorite economist. (Oh my God! I have a favorite economist?) He is also one of the inspirations for one of my favorite blogs, the Chicago Boyz. This isn't PBS's first experience with Professor Friedman. For many years he hosted a show on PBS, Free to Choose.

Achievement

Our family is filled with GSD (Genetic Spelling Defick). It has gotten so bad that the entire lot of us spell Wilson with 2 L's - Willson. Though not curable, it can be managed, and I've been working hard with Clara Grace to overcome her GSD. With an N on her last report card, we set out to improve, and today she got her first 100. She was so excited! You would have thought she had won the Super Bowl. I'm very proud of her. Her achievement has inspired me to try to achieve some of my goals like posting at least six times a week. I've got a whole bunch of excuses for not posting in the last month and some of them are even reasonable, but I have a great example in my Gracie woman so I'm going to try to be like her.
