Excellent. You've obviously met some of these guys, you captured that used car salesman tone perfectly. (How long before "realtor" replaces "used car salesman" as the standard shorthand for "sleazy liar"?)

Steve, I would like to know your thoughts on Daniel Gross' article in Slate [http://www.slate.com/id/2201641/] denouncing the right for linking the mortgage crisis to minorities. Is there any doubt about this? Could there be differences of opinion? Not knowing much about financial wheeling and dealing, I find it hard to credit one idea or another. Is the discrepancy between firms that went under and those institutions offering sub-prime loans linked to the shorting of loans? Wouldn't Gross know that, or even an economist such as Dean Baker?

Steve has written about this extensively. His point, as I take it, is not that the crisis is linked to minorities but is instead linked to the unrealistic and irresponsible mindset that panders to minorities. A significant distinction, which some people seem to be congenitally unable (or stubbornly unwilling) to understand.

Mr. Sailer obviously has a real talent (one which I hitherto hadn't suspected, despite his numerous other authorial abilities) for writing convincing dialog.

I'm already an amconmag suscriber, but I didn't realize I could log in to read it online. Thanks, Steve!

Steve's article was unsurprisingly good. But the last four words were superfluous -- in fact they made it slightly less effective. I'm surprised an editor didn't trim those.
