Too funny. If the DABA girls can get a TV and movie deal, so can you.

The ideas presented here are, for the most part, so wrong-headed that when taken at their opposite would be rather consistently close to the truth. It is absolutely amazing.

I got here from a link from Digby. She thinks very highly of this piece as well. Great job.

Now, I suppose I really should go do some work this morning….

Sadly, there are people who read Smart Money for financial advice. It’s not like Luskin only wrote for The Washington Times or The Weekly Standard. “Smart” Money put this idiot in print month after excruciatingly wrong month. And that was after he revealed what an ignorant fool he was by going up against Krugman and being completely discredited. I recommend you submit this to Dumb Monkey as a cover story on how not to report on the economy. They owe to their readers.

after watching a clip of the CNBC financial brain trust interviewing Roubini and Nassim the other day, I wasn’t sure if your portrayal of Luskins “advice” was satire or not… looks like you took a serious look at what passes for “expert advice”… you sir, have done the country a service.

Too bad you can’t ask the ~~Chicago City Comptroller~~ Coalition Provisional Authority about that…

WordPress willing, FTFY

Just remember: pallets of bills, totally unaccounted for. C-5s full of cash.

Is this the same Donald Luskin that engaged in a several-years-long war of attrition with the Light Blue Satan, resulting in several hilariously futile attempts to out the notorious Atrios? Because if he is the same person, I didn’t think, until reading this post, that he could be more thoroughly punked. Bravo.

The only way I can explain Luskin getting a forum anywhere is that there really is a conspiracy to keep you poor and stupid.

Well, Duh!

I’ve seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen money just disappear into thin air.

Too bad you can’t ask the Chicago City Comptroller about that…

And let’s not forget the Scout troop looking to build the rope bridge over the Snake River Canyon!

St00pid Boy Scouts, why can’t they just jump it in a rocket-powered motorcycle.

I wonder if Luskin has invested in torch-and-pitchfork futures.

Luskin’s head looks a balloon with a face drawn on it.

If he were as smart as a balloon that would just about nail it.

You gave Luskin enough rope to tie himself up, lash himself to the yard-arm, keel-haul himself AND then hang himself!

You forgot the part where there was still enough left over to make a macramé tea cozy, a comfy hammock for his porch, and allow an entire kindergarten class to double-dutch jump rope simultaneously.
