How To Lie With Numbers 2 - Laffer Nonsense From The WSJ | 34 comments (34 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: A note on my own fits (4.00 / 2)

What! You believe a blog when it attributes a total absurdity to the Wall Street Journal? I'd suspect that this is another blogland rumour, too good to be true. To make a charge like this credible, there should be a link to the WSJ editorial itself, with the graph and everything.

Like this: The WSG editorial itself, with the graph and everything.

And no, the date is July 13, 2007 (page A12), not April 1st. What a bunch of loons!

Words and ideas I offer here may be used freely and without attribution.

Yeah, I know it's sloppy. My bad. Thanks for the link, too.

WSJ? Editorial? Absurdity? (none / 0)

I would NEVER believe a blog which would claim that one WSJ Editorial was not completely loontastic. Never.

A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.
