Wouldn’t it be cool if Glenn Hubbard were consulting for Herbalife and I were on the other side?

I remember in 4th grade or so, the teacher would give us a list of vocabulary words each week and we’d have to show we learned them by using each in a sentence. We quickly got bored and decided to do the assignment by writing a single sentence using all ten words. (Which the teacher hated, of course.)

The above headline is in that spirit, combining blog posts rather than vocabulary words.

But that only uses two of the entries. To really do the job, I’d need to throw in bivariate associations, ecological fallacies, high-dimensional feature selection, statistical significance, the suddenly unpopular name Hilary, snotty reviewers, the contagion of obesity, and milk-related spam.

Or we could bring in some of the all-time favorites, such as Bayesians, economists, Finland, beautiful parents and their daughters, goofy graphics, red and blue states, essentialism in children’s reasoning, chess running, and zombies. Putting 8 of these in a single sentence (along with Glenn Hubbard and Herbalife) still seems like a challenge.

  1. Here’s my attempt:

    Wouldn’t it be cool if all Red States’ daughters of beautiful Finland parents appeared in a nice graphic of The Economist in an article written by Levit about chess running and with illustrations by Scott Adams?
