The Buttsecks Theory of History.

Earlier this month, Niall Ferguson said some things about Maynard Keynes whilst talking to some well healed financial advisers way out in California, about how his view of economics was skewed because he batted for the wrong side, and besides, he only read poetry to his ballerina wife, and he had no kids to worry about in the second generation, let alone the third or fourth.

After the story broke, he wrote a short apology, and had he left it at that, not much more probably would have happened, but no. He wrote a letter to the Harvard Crimson, where he berated his opponents with several strawmen, and explained how Keynes was directly responsible for WWII and the holocaust because of his hots for a German banker. No only that, but he could not be racist because his wife is from Somolia, and he could not be homophobic because Andrew Sullivan spoke at his wedding. But that Keynes, man, was he ever a fag! And just amongst us, you know how those pooftas think. Whey they can't even hold a mathematical text book, let alone read one because their wrists are so limp. So that just proves that Keynes was Wrong! Wrong! Wrong. All Wrong! And besides, he had no kids. Did I mention that he was gay?

Harvard -- Ustta be a good college. Maybe Little Tommy Friedman can get a job there in a few more Friedman Units.
