As longtime readers know, this blog is primarily an economics blog (except when I feel the need to write about my beloved Mizzou). There may be an odd post here or there which is more political than others. But even the political ones - posts advocating or criticizing some program or law or commenting on something said by a politician - are usually written from my point of view as a professional economist.
This is not one of those posts. With that, I pass along the announcement that fellow MnSCU economist King Banaian has gone over to the dark side. Yes, King has cast his hat in the ring for the seat in Minnesota House District 15B.
May god have mercy on his soul ;-)
Update: If King needs a minister of beer, well, I know a certain academic economist who knows a thing or two about making beer (even though he is no expert in the beer industry).
