  1. @crookery_ If you aren't worried now anyway, you do not understand the problem. Somehow more pixels, clever or no, do not relieve me.
  2. @crookery_ The clever reader would take it as a warning, not a recommendation.
  3. @crookery_ We agree. However, capture is an insidious, multidimensional thing, and is harder to avoid that it seems. Hence the badge idea.
  4. @crookery_ You are too kind, but I think that Treasury has little interest--and rightly so--in criticism and commentary as meta as mine.
  5. @crookery_ I even have an idea for the design: it could be in the form of a cookie, "with a warm, fluid chocolate interior."
  6. @crookery_ Like a Good Blogkeeping seal of approval. Invitees who showed up get a gold one; invitees who did not get silver?
  7. @crookery_ I like your moniker "Treasury 8," though. Perhaps design a tasteful badge for those blogs Treasury deemed worthy of an audience?
  8. @crookery_ In fact, I might write *several* posts detailing exactly how much I do not intend to reveal. Satsified?
  9. @crookery_ *I* got invited to a special Treasury meeting, too, just me. You'll be relieved to know I intend to tell you *nothing* about it.
  10. @interfluidity Having read Tyler Cowen's description of the cookies you refused, I'm not sure I agree with you.
  11. That's good, because I can't resist a good cookie. Integrity be damned!
  12. Now that @interfluidity, David Merkel, & Kid Dynamite have thoroughly reviewed the Treasury-Blogger gabfest, I don't have to see the movie.
  13. @felixsalmon @pkedrosky But hey, what do I know? Clotted, confused, and unreadable is *my* signature style.
  14. @felixsalmon @pkedrosky Gladwell must be kryptonite for reviewers and critics. I found Tkacik's piece clotted, confused, and unreadable.
  15. @interfluidity While I appreciate the link, I'm not sure you put my genius in the proper light by using "slime mold" as the linking phrase.
  16. @s_m_i I don't know ... That falafel cart on 53rd & 6th can cause some *awful* tie-ups.
  17. Seems the Treasury-blogger sit down was a pretext for phishing: http://tinyurl.com/yg5phos Using blogger credit cards to plug the deficit?
  18. 75ยข of the purchase price goes to Goldman's pension fund. RT @BankThink Want to kill bankers? There's an app for that: http://bit.ly/2hkcsR
  19. @abnormalreturns No, I am intimating that I am Thomas Jefferson.
  20. That last from Thomas Jefferson: http://tinyurl.com/c637lk
