BACKGROUND INFO: Kenneth Rogoff is a visiting scholar at the Brookings Institution and professor of economics at Harvard University.
Felix Salmon (at Portfolio.com):
[...] In any case, you have to read Ken Rogoff’s spoof memo over at Foreign Policy. When someone of Rogoff’s stature can laugh in Wolfowitz’s face like this, you know it’s all over. [...]

#1. Funny.
#2. Free publicity for InTrade-TradeSports.
#3. On Midas Oracle, the policy is that if we publish fake material, we label it clearly as “humor” (among other, by selecting the”humor” post category”). See Niall O’Connor’s April 1st blog post on BoDog CEO being arrested in… Tora Bora, Afghanistan.

The fake Wolfowitz memo was written by Harvard professor of economics Kenneth Rogoff and published on the Foreign Policy magazine, without notifying readers that it was a fake.
The memo was formatted unlike a typical news/opinion posting, though, now that I think of it.
oh my

have a nice day,

No problemo, Emanuele.
