What are you fine folks opinion of this gentleman?  It is hard for me to label him as a liberal as he puts the New York Times in their place so frequently.  I read his blog and like it some days, others it is a bit much for me.  What opinions do you all have? I have been reading the board for ages, but just registered today! A big move for me. I am very weird like that, lol!

I am also a very big fan of Ha-Joon Chang. And just about anyone that makes the liberal fool Thomas Friedman look dumb!

So, just out of curiosity.

Do you have anything to do with this blog?

I don't answer for anyone else here but I have a problem with folkes opening with an agenda.

By the same token, after skimming your blog I didn't find anything objectionable.

Just a suggestion.

On this forum there is a board labeled "Introductions and subsequent welcomes".

If you have an intention to stick around, I know it ain't required, but it might be a good idea for you to introduce yourself.

Again, it's just a friendly suggestion.
