Last month, during our “New Einsteins” series, one of the geniuses profiled was Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer. Several people wrote in to ask where they could learn more about his work. The answer, of course, is on Comedy Central. Fryer was recently on The Colbert Report. (See above, or if that’s not working for you, try this.)
Thanks to Debi Barton for suggesting the link! Which reminds me, if you stumble across something especially _flossy, feel free to email a link to flossyjason@gmail.com. If we like it, we’ll post it and give you a virtual high five. And by “especially _flossy,” I mean a story related to a recent article, or maybe a fascinating photo or video. What I don’t mean is a press release about something your company is doing. I’ve gotten far too many “Our company [that you’ve never heard of] is going green – please alert your readers” emails this year.
Man! Leave it to the Colbert Report to have this guy on!
He’s one of my personal heroes… His work with drug-traffic economics and the other things talked about in Freakonomics have been the inspiration for me to pursue economics in college.

@ Me:
I’m pretty sure that if you live anywhere outside the U.S., you can’t view these videos. It’s some sort of policy that a bunch of networks have adopted or something.
Maybe you can hunt around and find it somewhere!
