| h/t Instapundit Hypocrisy, thy name is Barack Obama. The president has singled out industrialists Charles and David Koch for supposedly orchestrating a movement to undermine his agenda, especially the various "climate change" policies that he's pushing via unprecedented federal regulation. These policies represent a massive tilting of the playing field toward wealthy and well-connected renewable-energy companies -- special interests that now receive billions of taxpayer dollars every year. This makes it all the more notable that President Obama has failed to mention the actual coordinated campaign in favor of this agenda -- a campaign coordinated with the White House. |

| #3 TW, the biggest gap in the economic models is that the wonks refuse to accept visible cause and effect. Example: you do something, and make a lot of money at it, and it makes you happy. Fairly obvious? The Social Model builders find that so wrong that they won't even consider it's validity, while at the same time sucking up to the wealthy for their insights. |

| #2 I feel sorry for poor Obean. Most other socialist dictators can blame the US for all their woes. Obean doesn't have this luxury. |

| #1 An interesting discussion of the most recent list of known unknowns not -- or poorly -- acounted for in the current unpredictive models here. There's an awful lot we know we don't know enough about to quantify in the models. |
