KENNETH ROGOFF
(born Mar-22-1953) United States of America

[what is this?]
Kenneth Saul Rogoff learned chess from his father at age 6, but took up the game in earnest when he got a chess set for his 13th birthday. He was soon recognised as a chess prodigy. By age 14, he was a USCF master and New York State Open Champion, and shortly thereafter became a senior master, the highest US national title. At sixteen Rogoff dropped out of high school to concentrate on chess, and spent the next several years living primarily in Europe and playing in tournaments there. However, at eighteen he made the decision to go to college and pursue a career in economics rather than to become a professional player, although he continued to play and improve for several years afterward.

Rogoff was awarded the IM title in 1974, and the GM title in 1978. He was 3rd in the World Junior Championship of 1971 and finished 2nd in the US Championship of 1975, which doubled as a Zonal competition, a half point behind Walter Shawn Browne; this result qualified him for the 1976 Interzonal at Biel where he finished 13-15th. In other tournaments he was 1st= at Norristown 1973 and 1st= at Orense in 1976.

Early in his economics career, Rogoff served as chief economist at the International Monetary Fund and also at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He is currently the Thomas D. Cabot Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Harvard University.

Apr-25-12  diceman: <PinnedPiece:
Pravda recently endorsed Obama.>

They figured out what’s still a mystery to softpaw.

<Here's Gorbachev, The Left's Favorite Communist>

Gorbasm Alert!

<Here's Gorbachev, The Left's Favorite Communist>

… I believe you mean, “after” Obama?

Apr-25-12  Jim Bartle: PinnedPiece: Well, I've never listened to Piers Morgan, so I can't say.

If there are more comments made about George W. Bush causing unnecessary deaths than about LBJ, it's just because Bush is more recent.

Apr-25-12  diceman: <PinnedPiece:
True enough, for that time. The American left hasn't spent a great deal of energy rehabilitating the architect of the Great Society…>

How does one rehabilitate the ghetto?

…besides, in today’s world of rank ignorance and stupidity:

“I care about the children”
gets the job done.

  al wazir: "LBJ, LBJ,
How many kids did you kill today!"
Apr-25-12  diceman: <al wazir: "LBJ, LBJ>

How many lies did you tell today!

Apr-25-12  diceman: <Jim Bartle:
If there are more comments made about George W. Bush causing unnecessary deaths than about LBJ, it's just because Bush is more recent.>

…at least that’s the “Planet Bartle” explanation.

Apr-25-12  diceman: <PinnedPiece:
...but I contend you would never hear P. Morgan utter a word of criticism on a Democrat who ordered the troops into battle.>

<P. Morgan>

Wow, one letter away from our greatest, greatest, evil:

J.P. Morgan

Apr-25-12  diceman: <diceman:
How does one rehabilitate the ghetto?>

Talk about “lipstick on a pig.”

Apr-25-12  Jim Bartle: "�at least that�s the �Planet Bartle� explanation."

Well, diceman, here's a perfect opportunity to show that I'm wrong, rather than just claiming I'm wrong with no backup.

  FSR: LBJ actually felt guilty about all the deaths he'd caused - unlike his successor, or Dubya.

<galdur: RE: Hand sanitizers. >

Difficult to predict the behavior of juveniles, but presumably their parents kept their liquor cabinets locked.

I can't think of any intoxicant that can not be made at home.. Of course synthetic THC is the current big craze.

Excuse me, but that is as bad an imputation on your part, as my claiming Obama is intentionally degrading liberty in the interests of his ulterior Marxist plans, isn't it?

I can certainly point to facts that prove my point, and amazingly I could point to facts that disprove yours.

I won't bother...you'd just put me on ignore.

  al wazir: <MI6 officer Gareth Williams found tied to bedposts by landlords> (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/201...)

Why haven't those landlords been arrested??

  FSR: <PinnedPiece> Your claims about Obama's "ulterior Marxist plans" are just silly. He's no more a Marxist than Eisenhower, Nixon or Ford were. As <Softpaw> has exhaustively demonstrated, Goldman Sachs has infinitely more influence over his administration than Marx does. I say that Nixon and Dubya felt no guilt about the deaths they were responsible for because I've seen no evidence of that. Bush on two occasions was asked to name a mistake he'd made, and was stumped both times. He expressly said that the Iraq War was <not> a mistake. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2... Nixon, you might recall, claimed to have a secret plan to get us out of Vietnam, yet kept us in it throughout his presidency. http://www.history.com/videos/nixon... But of course I could be wrong; if you want to provide me with some evidence that rebuts my assertion, I'd be happy to see it.

  chancho: Just heard Great Britain has gone into a double dip recession, and they are following austerity measures.

  WannaBe: Thank God I live in England. God bless the Queen.
Apr-25-12  Jim Bartle: I don't know if LBJ was wracked by guilt over the deaths in Vietnam afterward, but McNamara most certainly was. I doubt Rumsfeld or Melvin Laird are.

  goldenbear: <kb2ct> Depends on what you mean by "intoxicant", I guess, but there are plenty of illicit drugs that would be at least extremely difficult to produce at home.

  OhioChessFan: <OCF: There is no question that a person spending most of their earnings on life's necessities won't have much left to invest to increase their wealth (I understand there's other ways of creating wealth). I understand wanting to make things more fair, etc, but most programs that seek to address that make things worse.>

<Tomlinsky: Well, I'll just reiterate the part you left out then... Where, exactly, are all of these jobs globally that have been created with endless 'incentives' to the corporate pocket? Anyone!? Profit to reinvest in jobs and the economy my arse.>

Oh, I didn't mean to skip anything. My response to that is: <I understand wanting to make things more fair, etc, but most programs that seek to address that make things worse.>

  FSR: <kb2ct> Pretty lame evidence. Some "cosmetic gynecologist" finds this "structure" in a post-mortem examination of one 83-year-old woman and announces it's the G-spot? Surely one ought to try to find it in more than one woman, maybe even in some who are alive?

  tpstar: <Surely one ought to try to find it in more than one woman>

Agree.

Apr-25-12  cormier: nite nite ...
Apr-25-12  Petrosianic: Maybe this doctor is one of those guys who never gets near the live ones.
Apr-25-12  frogbert: <Why haven't those landlords been arrested?>

i guess one should ask for the arrest of the journalists who can't write instead.
