“No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.” Dr. Johnson might just have easily said “blogger.”*
This week marks my seventh year as a blockhead, and as has become my custom, I’m selecting a few of the posts from the last twelve months that I’ve liked.
Climate Denial and American Voluntarism
“This is 40” – Guilty Pleasures
Upwardly Mobile Beer (Rolling Rock)
Compete Your Way to Mental Health (“Silver Linings Playbook”)
Abortion and Infanticide
Gun Laws and Crime in Other English-Speaking Countries (it seems relevant again this week)
No Satisfaction (why liberal women want more sex – or why conservative women don’t)
-----------------
* I used this quote three yearas ago in a post criticising (or as I like to think of it, skewering) Greg Mankiw for something he had written in the Times. (That post is here.)
