Thank you to R Mark Woods (of the excellent weblog Wood’s Lot) who let me know that the Galbraith article is from The American Prospect and can be found here. Too new to have been indexed by the search engines, I suppose, although I don’t really understand all the arcana of what they do and don’t discern.

As it turns out, the article is not by John Kenneth Galbraith but by James K. Galbraith. Information about the author is here; he’s a professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin. I recall somewhere in the dim recesses of my memory that this may be John Kenneth’s son “Jamie”; does anyone know? In any case, nice to have someone so feisty on Dubya’s home turf.

I’m going back and editing the original blink to correct the misattribution and also to remove the full text of the article from my weblog in favor of the link, as the usual (“This article may not be resold,
reprinted, or redistributed for compensation of any kind
without prior written permission from the author.”) copyright notice appears at the bottom.
