Some home truths on Nasr from the Mustache. Even a broke-dick clock is right twice a day.

Substantiating my instinctual revulsion for Tom Friedman and his lesser Internet brethren (i.e. Robert Scoble), this site demonstrates that pundits actually have a worse record than pure chance when it comes to making testable claims about the future. More than a few of these guys are wrong *all the time*, and stone dumb besides. Conclusion: people need to weigh the available evidence, draw such conclusions as they will, and make their own dang truth.

PUNDIT FAIL

Nails Friedman, utterly, note-perfectly & for all time.

You will not do better than this, on the cretinous Friedman. I have long been in awe of the infallible wrongness of his tin ear, which Taibbi tags early on and justly.
