What Are We Blaming On the Gays Today?
Turtle-brained fuckwit Niall Ferguson, an economic historian at Harvard and right-wing mouthpiece, has a novel new take on why Keynesian economic theory is garbage. Since the world recently learned that the destructive austerity policies major countries keep adopting came from two other Harvard professors who couldn’t work an Excel spreadsheet, Ferguson took the stage at [...]
Retroactively Liveblooging The Paul Krugman-Joe Scarborough Steel Cage Death Match Of Death
It was a Meltdown in Metropolis, a Rumble in the Concrete Jungle on Monday night when Charlie Rose hosted Paul Krugman and Joe Scarborough for a battle royale for the crown of World’s Greatest Economics Expert Guy!

Rude Failure Larry Summers Is A Candidate For Another Top Job
Let’s go through the last 15-20 years of perfect, brilliant top economist Larry Summers’ career: He joined Robert Rubin and Alan Greenspan in their successful attempt to tear down long-standing financial regulations and keep derivatives totally unmonitored as a Treasury official and then secretary during the Clinton administration, directly leading to the 2008 financial collapse; [...]
Lead GOP Candidate’s Economic Plan Stolen From A Computer Game
Herman Cain — still currently topping the presidential polls of GOP voters — and his half-assed economic platform of “9% income tax, 9% corporate tax and 9% sales tax” is the teatard-brained epitome of a candidate who thinks the 140-character limit on Twitter also applies to policy formulation. But mysteriously, this has not stopped the [...]

Larry Summers Is Half-Serious, *At Least*, About “Google Index” Theory
So it seems like fewer people are performing Google searches with the term “economic depression.” Or maybe it’s the same amount of people, but they’re searching less frequently? Ha ha, no one’s sure! Anyway, what does this statistic mean for America? Everything, essentially. And this is not just because a majority of Americans have been [...]
Ron Paul Tutoring Michele Bachmann At Fancy Lunches
Okay this explains basically everything written on Wonkette for the past few months. Ron Paul is getting himself a little following among his colleagues on the Hill, see? He’s been throwing fancy weekly luncheons for a dozen-ish of his minions to discuss the exciting lunch-hour topic of Austrian economic theory (laissez faire/sound money/central bank causes [...]
Michele Bachmann Tries To Save Dollar From Mongols
Here is a rather low-budget rip of “war correspondent” Michele Bachmann crying with Sean Hannity over how everyone makes fun of her for raising issues that literally do not exist.
