Around the Traps 7/3/14

It is time again for Around the Traps.
Another cracking edition. sorry that's a tautology.

David Glasner shows why he is the only person on earth who can take on Kruggers and beat him. Nick Rowe simply keeps on keeping on, Chris Dillow shows us why is the only intelligent Commo around, Andrew Gelman gives us his usual high standard articles and the Climate section is full of interesting stuff indeed the whole lot is interesting.
Genial Dave Giles is bludging however. Not happy Dave!  Genial Dave pleads having to grade papers. ANSWER accepted Genial Dave. your P statistic is significant!!!

update on Sunday.
