It is becoming increasingly clear that this term, I just don't find the time to blog during the week. Worse yet, when the weekend comes I find that I have spent so much time behind the computer that I don't have much motivation to sit down and blog. (Or, like this week, I might just be grading over the weekend. I read 11 essays straight on whether history ended in 1989. But I digress...)
So, I just wanted to acknowledge this publicly. I am teaching, taking courses, attending workshops and trying to put together a prospectus, all of which makes me wish that there were 36 hours to a day. In the absence of those extra hours, something in my blogging will have to change (at least until Christmas), but I am still trying to figure out what. Perhaps I will start integrating my blogging and my research more, killing two birds with one stone. If I succeed in doing this, expect to see more pieces on economic inequality and political psychology in the near future. We will see exactly what happens though. I have no intention to give up blogging, but until I have this term figured out, your patience, dear audience, is appreciated.

One vote for economic inequality and political psychology.
In light of a recent tweet of yours, how about illuminating the exact distinction between government, regime and state? :-)
Now, I THINK I have the basic idea, but I'm curious to know what mistakes your students made. There's a fair chance my thoughts are similarly ill-defined...
This old post by Chris Blattman might give you food for thought on blogging: http://chrisblattman.com/2009/10/18/is-this-my-final-blog-post/
