Mon, 6 March 2006 Bob and Mark discuss a few different topics. Mark talks about his recent employment situation which has given him new insight into why Japanese companies, in America, have such a greater competitive advantage than their American counterparts. They also discuss the origins of the Dick Cheney was drunk meme that's been going around. Bob brings up an article by Paul Krugman about where the productivity increase has gone. This leads into a discussion about how statistics are used in a rhetorical manner in order to further the hippie agenda which can only be attributed to a conscious desire to deceive the public.
