About Me
Amazed how lucky I am that I have had jobs where I could just think about whatever I wanted to think about. Last summer I moved to the University of Maryland. Previously I held positions at the University of Chicago, Yale University, Stanford, UCLA, Wharton, and Rice and was the chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission during 1988 and 1989. I have published over 90 articles in academic journals. I received my Ph.D. in economics from UCLA in 1984. Born in Detroit, I spent a lot of time with my grandparents in Miami, Florida before moving to Miami at the end of junior high. Otherwise I have lived all across the country from Nashville to LA to Texas to Montana to Northern California back to Texas to Maryland back to LA to Pennsylvania to Illinois to New Haven to DC to New York back to the DC area.

I'm gonna have to catch the podcast at work tommorow but Tucker has been a great guest-host so far.
I think you have to have a paid membership to listen to it.
I joined the DMZ after DM's show got off of the ground-only a few good radio stations here in WY. I'm a Rush 24/7 guy too because I'm in and out of a truck too much for continuity.
Good interview Mr. Lott. The statement Obama made about guns is illuminating but not really shocking all things considered. I wonder how his grandpa would have fared liberating Auschwiz without a rifle lol?
Thank you, Thomas. I appreciate you taking the time to listen. Sorry, Right Guy.
I like Dennis Miller too, but I get one subscription and it was Glenn Beck. I'll catch you on the next one. I hope you had a happy holiday.
Jim
