Rankings
What they're saying
- Checking your blog is the highlight of my morning (well, unless I missed The Daily Show the night before, then you run a close second behind catching the missed episode). So, who needs the public affirmation of high rankings when you've got hordes of loyal readers?
-- Meredith - Are you sure you guys have econ PhDs? Something doesn't fit.
-- Bob Murphy - I can't believe you're an economist. Fantastic.
-- B Madsen - John Whitehead = HILARIOUS!
-- Mark C R UK - ... explains the mechanics of things with numbers and reason and insight. Don't be intimidated by the economics angle. It's never abstruse or technical. Instead, the tone is straightforward and forthright, at times bracing or breezy.
-- The Suzuki Foundation Blog - 10 Interesting Economics Blogs
-- Milken Institute Review - These guys have the self-confidence to call their blog simply 'Environmental Economics', and rightly so.
-- Oikos - ... [a] surprisingly entertaining site about economics.
-- Bottleworld.net - "... the refreshingly accessible 'Environmental Economics' blog"
-- American Institute of Biological Sciences - I'm not an economist nor am I a genius, but what you state is so glaringly obvious I don't understand why the vast majority of Americans don't get it.
-- Fritz

Hey John -- I've got one postdoc now, but I am happy to take another under you. Can I be the Shall "Whitehead Beer & Chips Fellow"? I promise to:
1) Talk about you fondly, occasionally, to strangers -- and not in the men's room.
2) Hoist one while invoking your name each week.
3) Travel to exotic places to inform the locals on the virtues of your blog.
All that for only $35k/year. Deal?

David,
Ah. If only my endowed professorship* funded a Post-doc, your offer sounds ideal.
*Note: I don't have an endowed professorship.
