Ever eager to prove that condescending liberal gnomes with cute li’l beardlets can engage in serial sophistry, Robert Reich propped himself up on a stack of phonebooks last evening and penned this idiocy for today’s New York Times. A summary: “Everything I say is a lie,” he said, truthfully.*
For a more complete analysis, see here. For a sure-fire way to avoid Reich’s inanities in the future, avoid pots o’ gold, The American Prospect, The New York Times, and Al Gore’s patio (where rumor has it you can often find Reich dressed like a jockey and holding a lantern).

update: Because he’s so short and all.
“Al Gore’s patio (where rumor has it you can often find Reich dressed like a jockey and holding a lantern).”
Don’t do that! The sight of a man past the age of fifty spewing Coca-Cola out of his nose and onto his monitor’s screen because he’s laughing so hard is not a pretty one.
Reich is a certified douche. no one takes him seriously, not even the times. my guess is that the editor forgot April Fool’s day was almost a month and a half ago.
Dammit Goldstein – why must you mark yourself as a heightist oppressor? I demand an apology.
