		<description>I agree with all that's aforementioned, the Freakonomics guys are not very original, they basically ripped off one charlatan, Malcom Gladwell, and pedaled it as their own under a different name. 

Gladwell is a hack too. His theories rarely hold up and he looks like an idiot.</description>

		<description>Pops, you are correct in everything you say. The reason I went back is for the interesting facts usually culled by the other guy working on the site, the economist Steven Levitt. I'm a sucker for weird facts. But hey, if you've ever looked int the sis' right ear, you'd know it's CRAZY down in there, yo!</description>

		<description>Young Jose... I've read several of his posts now, including some archived posts since you initiated your blog yesterday and I have one quick question.....  "Could you not see through his pile of stink, bile and bilge?"  Chris is right, what a cocky, whinny, pantie wearin, fart suckin bore!  What in the world ever caused you to return to his site after your first read?  Even the responses that he culls out and posts are about as insightful as looking into the sis's right ear!</description>

		<description>Jose,

I have read the book Freakonomics. After my "insightful" read, I was under the impression that this guy and his book are a pretty big crock of shit.  Then I saw him on the Daily Show and I was correct, the guys thinks he knows everything.  Let's face the facts, ANYONE who would go by the name Stephen J. Dubner has to be one cocky piece of shit.  

Read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.  It's the book that Dubner poorly ripped off when he and his co-writer wrote Freakonomics.</description>
