Peter Suderman & Megan McArdle are getting married. One of my thoughts was, "How tall will their offspring be?" (assuming they are intent on producing any) I couldn't tell Peter Suderman's height from photographs with certainty, but he has confirmed they are the same height, 6 feet 2 inches. What sort of heights would we expect for the McSuderkinder?* Assuming 80% heritability...

MEGAN MCARDLE REPORTS FROM ASPEN: “The questions for Goolsbee are much more hostile than they were last year. I don’t know whether to attribute this to the economy, or the fact that the disadvantages of Obama’s policies are now apparent.”

MEGAN MCARDLE ON UNIONS AND OLIGOPOLY: “I think it’s great that people who maybe weren’t cut out for college had a decent way of earning a good living, getting ahead a little. I think it’s really sad that era is over, especially for people who were encouraged to bet their whole futures on [...]

Some people believe Wal-mart supports universal healthcare because: Wal-Mart wants to change its image, Wal-Mart wants to make its voice heard in the process, or Wal-Mart is flummoxed by unpredictable health care costs. Megan McArdle believes that there is only one reason Wal-mart wants universal health care: profits. If all employers are mandated to provide health insurance, Walmart...

Megan McArdle: I find it hard to believe that none of the liberal commentators breathlessly celebrating Wal-Mart's "capitulation" on national health care have even entertained the most parsimonious explanation: that Wal-Mart is in favor of this because it raises the barriers to entry in the retail market, and hammers Wal-Mart's competition. You can say that again, sister! I...

Looks at the Wal-Mart supports government health care plan from Megan McArdle and Professor Bainbridge . And a good close by McArdle. When you find strange bedfellows in politics, don't look for a surprising outbreak of spontaneous virtue: looking for the hidden conspiracy.

Here is Megan McArdle's succinct take on Walmart's endorsement of government-andated health coverage (HT: Sheldon Richman). The story was front-page news in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, and today the Journal editorializes--correctly, I think--on the hidden politics of the move. I'm skeptical of the company's ominous claim about wanting a "level playing field;" the public...
