Dinesh D'Souza's latest ode to disingenuous stupidity has already been picked over by the blogosphere -- Adam Serwer had a particularly exquisite contribution -- but I wanted to make note of the Economist's take, which adopted D'Souza's own approach of biographical exegesis to dismantle his argument. Here's an example:

I don't spend enough time on libertarian blogs, so I can't tell if Reason's Tim Cavanaugh is joking or not when he cites Cuba's massive lay-off of government employees as evidence that the failed worker's paradise is "more capitalist than [the] USA":

While the United States, under local, state and federal leadership that could collectively be described as Bloomschwartzenbama, can't seem to stop the growth of government employment, the Castro Brothers -- who directly employ most of Cuba's population -- plan to lay off half a million government employees by March and expand the issuing of "licenses for self-employment."
