Where's the old Josh that was chasing Russian tail? I'm really not trying to get anyone's dander up, you are just coming across as overly bitter lately.

Josh really hasn't been the same since the political forum sprung up.

I guess it's tough to accept that not everyone agrees with him.

You mean an emotionally mature person such as Josh would take something personally? That shocks me.

Sounds like I've located the only four fans of Ben Stein's crap. My condolences to you over your loss.
Barry Ritholtz, on the other hand, joins me in the celebration:
Ginormous money losing tool Ben Stein finally got shit canned by the New York Times.
Too bad it wasn’t for being the “world’s worst financial columnist.”
The commentary he produced at the Times was amongst the most irresponsible, poorly researched, and just goddammed wrong stuff ever to grace the business pages of the Grey Lady.
As I previously whined 18 months ago, “we’ve reached the point where Stein’s commentary has become detached from reality, so ridiculously fabricated, that it can no longer be read. Indeed, its become so absurd that not only have I decided to skip reading him, I am immediately making the public commitment to stop commenting on his Tom Foolery.”
The low point of Ben Steinery was his August 12 2007, column, Chicken Little’s Brethren, on the Trading Floor. Stein made the absurd argument that because sub-prime was so tiny relative to the US Economy, it was meaningless. Those who followed his advice lost millions.
It is actually kinda sad that rather being being expelled for being a really bad commentator, he was tossed out for being a shameless shill for a sleazy outfit.
Right result, wrong reason.

Way to put words in our mouths. Stein was a terrible columnist. That doesn't make it mature to laugh at the man after he loses his job.

I don't blame anyone for being bitter and pissed off but it should be directed toward the proper people: the Ruling Elite.
All of us Unwashed Masses are in it together for better or worse.

And who do you consider the "Ruling Elite" or the "Unwashed Masses" to be exactly? I bet everyone here has very strong/different opinions on who should be placed in which group.
