1. Economists are the only group whose predictions are worse than the weatherman.

2. You can lay 1,000,000 economists head to toe around the world and never reach a conclusion…

3. “Economists say” belongs to a class of empty journalistic crutches that includes (inter alia):
   “Experts state”
   “Reports indicate”
   “Sources tell us”
   “Many claim”

   Off topic but important I think.

5. My favorite is from the Ancient Aliens show.
   They will make a ludicrous statement, e.g., “Was Yankee Stadium built using alien technology?” And the answer will be “Ancient Alien experts say yes.”

6. Don’t forget the classic “studies have shown”.

7. 10 economists in a room, 11 theories of which 12 are incorrect.

8. Agreed … however the ABSOLUTE thinnest and flimsiest FAKE veneer is … the word … “bi-partisan”. This term almost always applies to the most OUTRAGEOUS immigration, economic, Obamakkare, and welfare proposals by the hardcore Democrap left … that are supported by ONE (so called) Republican Senator named McCain.

9. Definition of an expert: X is an unknown factor and a spert is a drip under pressure.

10. Economists and Charlie Sheen say…

11. An Economist is like an Ally Cat with uncontrollable diarrhea… Worthless babble dealing in crap sandwiches
    The AGW was fronted by Economists who have given up on the system…Dumb Numb Nuts

12. Economist Jokes.

    Experienced economist and not so experienced economist are walking down the road. They get across shit lying on the asphalt.
    Experienced economist: “If you eat it I’ll give you $20,000!”
    Not so experienced economist runs his optimization problem and figures out he’s better off eating it so he does and collects money.
    Continuing along the same road they almost step into yet another shit.
    Not so experienced economist: “Now, if YOU eat this shit I’ll give YOU $20,000.”
    After evaluating the proposal experienced economist eats shit getting the money.
    They go on. Not so experienced economist starts thinking: “Listen, we both have the same amount of money we had before, but we both ate shit. I don’t see us being better off.”
    Experienced economist: “Well, that’s true, but you overlooked the fact that we’ve been just involved in $40,000 of trade.”

14. Rescue dogs from Korea? Exactly what we need.
    IMO the rescue industry is a scam. Fraught with danger.

15. Let me fix this.
    Maybe this topic needs it’s own voice.

16. bi-partisan means some particularly evil is afoot.
