- Let's All Please Ask A Liberal



Defining the ultimate contrarian indicator.

Guys (and Gals), there are a number of public policy issues that are tough to get a legitimate bead on right now. So I think we should all rally together and ask our liberal coworkers what they think. Because whatever the issue, the one thing we can be absolutely certain of is that liberals will be wrong about it.

So go ahead... ask a liberal whether we should have looser monetary policy or whether it would be better for Germany or Greece to leave the Euro. Find out what they think about the dual Fed mandate or if they think China will have a soft landing. And please bring their answers back here for the rest of us. I'd do it myself, but I've gotten to the point in my career where many people are more worried about ingratiating themselves to me than telling me the truth about what they really think.

They won't have an answer for the complicated issues - not thinking about complicated issues are a liberal hallmark. But help us out - press them on it. ask them to look into it. It is afterall, the most reliable indicator I've ever heard of, so let's all make the most of it.
