[lbo-talk] me against the right

[Sean Andrews]

Doug was predicting the bust for years on his weekly public radio show. He's
just not an egotistical asshole who feels like he needs to toot his own horn
at every available opening in the conversation.  I think most people
watching the shop knew things were going to go downhill quickly at some
point (evidently including the people selling some of the most toxic shit.)
He's no genius, just an opportunist prick.  "How to get rich off the
collapse."   Sociopaths like this must have a special ring of hell--and if
they don't I will personally go there and petition for it.
