  26. Can I use a random number generator?  I don't know nothin' 'bout economics
  27. :)  Seriously -- whichever way the numbers go, what kinds of evidence can
  28. we legitimately use to decide who's to blame (or who's to cheer)?  Honest
  29. question -- I suspect Clinton didn't have a whole lot to do with Sears
  30. stores closing (didn't they just get hit with a price-fixing bust?).  On
  31. the other hand, if unemployment goes down, I wouldn't know where to begin
  32. to look for evidence that he was responsible for that.

  34. Help?
