		<description><![CDATA[Prof. Henderson&#8217;s judgment continues to fail him, and he apparently went up against Brad Delong, something the really smart and really wise and really well-informed do with great caution. Who was it that rush in where angels fear to tread, again?  Remember the Black Knight in Monty Python&#8217;s Holy Grail? Brad attached a rocket engine [...]]]></description>

[UPDATE 20-21/IX: the original post was taken down; instead there's this and a cache of the original  post is here.]  It&#8217;s worth a close look because the author [...]]]></description>
