You may know that we have a Twitter feed, @orgsandmarkets. Twitter recently added a recommendation feature, “Similar to,” showing feeds its software judges similar to a given feed. See below what Twitter deems similar to O&M. I don’t mind being associated with Mark Thoma, who seems like a good guy even though I usually disagree with him, but that other one? I’m offended!

It could be worse. Krugman jumps and down and screams “racist” at anyone who disagrees with him. But it could be Brad DeLong, who compared Thomas Sowell to the notorious racist and segregationist Orval Faubus. I’ll take Krugman.

I knew there was something fundamentally fishy with this blog! I was not able to identify it, but now it is all suddenly very clear to me. ;-)
