I am doing a lot of travel this week, and that means lots of time in airports with a wireless connection. So apologies for the bloggarea . . . all this discussion of cherry picking has led me to think it would be worth pointing to an earlier essay on this topic:

Do note that this essay was written almost three years ago before I really figured out the language of “honest brokers of policy alternatives” that you’ll see in my new book.
