The Brookings Institute Should Hire the Entire Cast...

...of Armageddon, so that we can have more stunning analysis in the same vein as this:

So this letter (more or less, the internets ate my other copy) was sent to my Good Friends Who Make Money from This Sort of Thing:

Having just read Gregg Easterbrook's commentary on a few subjects (including the inane article about planet-killing asteroids), I can say with certainty that my opinion of the Brookings Institute has declined sharply. This man is so unqualified, it makes me wonder about all the other "Experts", and how they could NOT deserve that title.


This may not have been a good idea considering the ratio: number of jobs offered by Brookings institute / number of jobs I'm willing to take. ESPECIALLY considering the ratio: number of jobs / total number of people looking for jobs.
