Thoughts on a Second Stimulus
It's well deserved, but I didn't like the
They said the same thing about Megan McArdle, but there were no similar quibbles about reliably left-leaning people like Krugman or DeLong.Damn!
OK, congrats.
Hanmeng,
You're right. I guess what I liked is that it was just a quibble. :-) I took it as, "Well, I know I've got to say this because otherwise my friends at the liberal/left cocktail party tonight will be all over me." I didn't like their use of the big "L" libertarian, though. I would bet that none of the three of us is a member of the Libertarian Party.

"almost always guess the punch line"
Obviously it was meant as a complement: Econlog is consistently logical whereas the left-wing economic sites are irrational and erratic in comparison.
Right, right. Clearly the excitement and surprise from not knowing where a blogger is going to come down on an issue is much more important than silly little things like truth and understanding.
Concerning the WSJ's quibble over the libertarian nature of the blog: The WSJ also released an article yesterday on the economics blogosphere in which they mainly concentrated on Mankiw, Krugman, Thoma, and Tabarrok. They mistaking called Arnold Kling a "conservative":

Congratulations to all of you!
Thanks, Cupboard. :-)

For me, econlog is a top 4 economics blog along with Krugman, Marginal Revolution, and Economist's View.
