I have a Ph.D in econonmics. I went through a brief slatebro contrarian phase. Not sure how bad I was but I can't deny the possibility that "Will Saletan has a good point!" was something I said once. I don't always agree with The Left (I forget who their leader is this week), but I long ago realized that punching Left is almost always punching down. Also, if you want people to vote for you, you probably shouldn't punch them, even if they are idiots.
