Proving that economics and a sense of humor are not mutually exclusive

I wouldn't want to be a central banker for anything in the world. Just imagine: the whole world is hanging on your every word – indeed, every facial expression – to see how the economy will fare in the coming months. And look what such a job can do to your smile....

I maintain that a sense of humor comes right after air, water, food and shelter in the list of essentials for human thriving. As to the inspiration for the title of this blog, there are two. First, read about economics' multiple personality disorder in my 7/2/05 post. Second, I like the story of 16-year-old Sybil Ludington who lived back in colonial America. Late at night on a rainy April 26, 1777, word came to the house of her father, a colonel in the militia, that the British were attacking and burning a local village. To stir the militiamen to battle, she jumped on her horse Star and rode for dozens of miles over unlit muddy forest tracks, not far from British troops, banging with a stick on every homestead door. This blog is my stick and my Star, carrying a bit of humor and lucidity into the dry, murky and pretentious cacophony of economics. (See my original posts for more.)
