Like quantum theory and relativity, who can really explain why they still let lazy and permanently and embarrassingly wrong ‘historian’ Niall Ferguson on TV? All I can figure is that it is a testament to how much Americans are still pushovers for a British, especially a high-born British accent. This morning he’s on MSNBC complaining about the regulatory burden on small businesses and apparently how some small business of his failed, obviously because of onerous regulations.
