Return of the SOTU
Truly brilliant and hysterical, and a comment cleaner while we wait for some of the pre-open dust to clear:
Western Hemisphere Win!
I think I’ll stay on this side of the planet.
Affirmative Reaction
Until I read about him in the New York Times, I had not heard of Richard Kahlenberg before, but his ideas strike me as very intriguing. At the outset, I want to make clear he is a progressive, I repeat, progressive, academic. He’s also exceptionally well-credentialed:
(more…)Kahlenberg graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1985 and cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1989. Between college and law school, he spent a year in Kenya at the University of Nairobi School of Journalism, as a Rotary Scholar.
Kahlenberg has been a Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation, a Fellow at the Center for National Policy, a visiting associate professor of constitutional law at George Washington University, and a legislative assistant to Senator Charles S. Robb (D-VA). He is serves on the advisory board of the Pell Institute and the Albert Shanker Institute.

Civility in the Days Ahead
I wanted to do a quick post to say a few words about the continued importance of avoiding political discord here on Slope. Right at the outset, I want to say there is no problem I am addressing. The atmosphere, decorum, and zeitgeist of the Slope community has never been better, and I sense a true esprit de corps here, which delights me.
However, for reasons perhaps you have read, there is bound to be an increase in political tension in the coming days in the U.S., and I would like to remind everyone (and myself) to focus on charts and finance as opposed to political difference.
Since I’m in the business of predicting the future, I will at least go on record with this absolutely apolitical prediction: the entire thing is going to be a total nothing-burger. And I believe the political machinery will draw their own conclusions about what the fact it was a non-event truly means.
Thank you, everyone, and I look forward to a very exciting trading week!
