(The sad thing is that I can only use that song lyric once–once a week, that is! Mwa-ha-ha…)

The chairing continues, and I'm gearing up to present three of my untenured faculty for their mid-tenure review next week, so that's where most of my focus went this past week. Nonetheless, I did write a litte bit: three, count 'em, three substantive posts at Economics and Ethics: "David Brooks has it right on 'The Limits of Empathy'" (today), "Recognizing the moral issues behind economic policy" (Sept. 27), and "Utilitarians aren't psychopaths–are they?" (Sept. 25), the last of which was presented in slightly different form at Psychology Today.
