Felix Salmon (at Portfolio.com):

[…] In any case, you have to read Ken Rogoff&#8217-s spoof memo over at Foreign Policy. When someone of Rogoff&#8217-s stature can laugh in Wolfowitz&#8217-s face like this, you know it&#8217-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 &#8220-humor&#8221- (among other, by selecting the&#8221-humor&#8221- post category&#8221-). See Niall O&#8217-Connor&#8217-s April 1st blog post on BoDog CEO being arrested in&#8230- 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.
