Giving Taleb One Big Raspberry Cheer!

I enjoy this blog entry that points out the foolishness of taking Nassim Taleb too seriously with his talk of black swans:

This crisis has offered plenty of food for thought and plenty of lessons to munch on. But Taleb’s proposals are impractical, inefficient and, arguably, boring. After all, for all its scares and potholes, New York is more fun than Peoria. And in the (highly remote) chance that I have any Peorian readers, you have a free invitation to come over and check for yourselves!
