I get the feeling that people like Yglesias and Rawls publish crap that they know is wrong just in order to call attention to themselves. If they wrote what they--and everybody else--knew to be right, nobody would bother with it, but this way their names are put in front of us. "Look what this idiot said! Can you believe it?" etc. etc. Anything to stand out.
I think we should break their fingers and split their tongues so they couldn't write or speak their crap. After all, it's sheer, blind, stupid luck that they were born with the ability to write and speak better than most people and, therefore, to promulgate their ideas better than most. No one deserves that advantage, lol!
Very silly, I know, but it does irritate me that democrats would concentrate on re-distributing wealth and nothing else.
