And I wish that said baseball bat had magical powers, and the magical power of my baseball was to teach people about economics. Then, I would ride merrily around the country, pummeling people senseless with my Economics Bat, and though they would be bruised and battered, they would limp away from their beating with a newfound knowledge of economics and how that works.
Then I could prevent idiots from posting things on their blogs that other people will read; and because those readers are not so bright, will believe. I would be like a superhero, riding through the countryside dispensing swift Economic Violence and Justice.
My first stop would be Washington, DC. My second stop would be Texas. Mostly because there are some Texans than need a good clubbing.
I guess I would need a horse or something.
Let me know if you need a plucky sidekick who, though ignorant of economics, has more than enough common sense to understand the basic workings of our economy.
Ohhhhhhhkaay, I’m hoping that I did nothing that would cause youto come down my way. If I did would you e-mail me and we can set up a time for me to recieve my thumping?

Okay, as a Texan living outside DC, I think I’m agonna hafta take offense to this post. Then again, I could just plug ya once you’re in range of my sidearm, yet still out of range of your Economics Bat. :p
No, it was directed a very specific person, however I didn’t feel like it was appropriate to name names.
I think the piece of equipment you’re looking for is called a “clue-by-4″.
Or a “cluebat” or “cluestick”.
