Economy Jul 15, 2011 11:30 AM EDT Standup economist Yoram Bauman has now made it to China and filed the second of his vlogs for us from Beijing. We found his comparison of China to Ecuador fascinating. For those who crave a heavier dose of Yoram’s wit, he’s posted an excerpt from a recent appearance in front of an apparently liberal Seattle audience on YouTube. It includes this line on members of the Tea Party: “people who believe in Social Darwinism but don’t believe in Darwin.” This entry is cross-posted on the Rundown– NewsHour’s blog of news and insight _Follow Paul on Twitter._ We're not going anywhere.
