Asymmetrical Information

You were just tied with Freakonomics (I broke the tie) and behind Club for Growth by 20.

Damn, now I feel bad for voting for Marginal Revolution...

I just voted for you, now you vote for me! ;-)

As of now (11:34am EST, 12/7), you are in 13 votes ahead of Freakonomics, but 2 votes behind Club for Growth.

You got my vote.

Big, fat tears rolling out of my dewy green eyes, staining my porcelain cheeks as my body racks with sobs.

Y'know, when I first glanced toward this post this morning, my still-sleepy brain registered that sentence as something like "tears rolling out of my dewy green eyes...onto my rack". Good God, has she no shame in these contests?!? It was pretty funny for the fraction of a second it took to realize my error!

The rack thing threw me for a loop, too...

You were ahead by 29 after my vote.

Megan, I just want to apologize for those 2 earlier posts. You ask us for our support; you give us a chance to help get your hard work recognized with a presitigiuos Webbie (or whatevertheheckitscalled) and "realtime" Rob and the abbreviated MTW reduce this to near Beavis and Butthead status. I don't know what to say. Men will be boys, I guess. Again, my apologies.

P.S. If you don't win, e-mail me. I'll be there for you with a box of Kleenex, a bottle of pinot and my Best of Barry White CD.

How big of you to apologize!

Tad the cavalier swoops in and saves Megan's day after MTW and I tried so hard to ruin it with our obnoxious, nasty, evil, gutter-minded, triple-x rated posts. Looks like the hero has foiled us, MTW!

Again, my apologies.

Again, how big of you!

Intermediate Humor 206: It seems my sense of humor is lost on Rob. Can anyone explain to him the humor (or attempted humor of my post)? Hint: Irony is involved.

Unglazed porcelain? Otherwise the tears should roll down the cheeks without leaving a mark, and fall from there, um, well...

Megan, I love your blog---just voted for you.

Yeah, I thought you might be kidding, but I guessed wrong. The post-script makes it pretty obvious, now that I look again. I'm clearly not ready for IH-206, it's back to the remedial class for me...

Ok, you get my vote (but I really like Marginal Revolution also).

"P.S. If you don't win, e-mail me. I'll be there for you with a box of Kleenex, a bottle of pinot and my Best of Barry White CD."

How about instead a 12 pack of Bud and Cheap Tricks Greatest Hits? I'll even drive the good truck, the one that only has the back fenders rusted out. Offer good only until my wife finds out.

Ok, actually I only have one truck, only the back corners of the rear fenders are rusted out, and when I asked about all the dents in the side the lady selling it just said "cows".

Oh, I was going to feel bad for voting for Marginal Revolution, but it let me vote again, so I voted for you this time.

But you're kicking Tyler Cowen's arse, so I'm voting for him again tomorrow.

AI is currently beating the pants off all other comers by a wide margin. May want to grab a screenshot of the current 'results' window, just in case it's a temporary fluke!

Well, I didn't vote for you. I'm still seething over the recent Economist cover on which a picture of George Bush looking like a pouty little boy is used. What makes it worse is that the two Chinese Communists are shown as being sophisticated and full of gravitas. I know you don't choose the pictures on the covers but I must strike back whichever way I can.

I voted for you before you even posted this, but I did it from work so I'm going to vote again from home.

Is that ethically wrong? Don't tell the NY Bar.

BTW, you're beating Freakanomics by 100 votes right now and Club for Growth by almost 150.

What? No promises of pictures of you debating your negligee?

OK, we all voted for you and you're well ahead. Now how about re-posting that picture of yourself you put up a few months ago? Brains and Beauty!

Done! And I wish I had green eyes...

(Not to mention all the other accoutrements. But time and life will take their toll.)

I, um, didn't actually know there was a Freakonomics blog. Hmm. But I'd still vote for you!

Your earnest plea worked with me as well, but looks like you don't need much help - right now you're beating the snot out of both Freakanomics & Club for Growth.

Just curious - do winners get virtual trophies?

The Club for Growth came back with a vengeance. 'twas fun while it lasted, though.
