his book has a bunch - http://www.amazon.com/110-People-Screwing-America-Franken/dp/0060761296/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1248383946&sr=8-2
 

I know Humberto Fontova has taken aim at celebrities who laud Che Guevara. I'm positive he has a fleet of satisfactory quotes within his works.
 

Mr. Murphy,

You should seriously consider another system for accepting comments. At least, consider a blogger pop-up window comments box or a blogger comments on the same page as your article.

It can be done in blogger itself.

Thanks,
 

Addendum to the comment on comments:

Mr. Murphy, I would suggest a different format/template for your blog. Calculatedriskblog.com has an excellent readable format. Would you consider something like that? I really enjoy the content of your posts, I wish if it was presented in a more attractive format.

Thanks,

A Well Wisher.

One of the most ignorant that comes to mind is Whoopi Goldberg discussing communism with the panel on Politically Incorrect about 10 years ago.

"Communism is only people working together."

She was, of course, blissfully ignorant of the 200 million or so that communism has killed off in the last century.

Wow, thanks everyone! This is much more than I was hoping for.

(And btw if anyone reading has other suggestions, please say them. I need a ton of these.)

Also, S Andrews, I will definitely consider revamping this blog entirely in the near future. Right now I am too busy with "real work" but I will take your suggestions and put them on my calendar (to consider in a month or so).
 

here's a better link to Fontova's book:

I would suggest looking for transcripts of Bill Maher's HBO show, there is usually a wealth of incredibly stupid things the guest celebrity panelists say regularly on that show. Although the show's focus is political issues, sometimes they will speak about their dislike of capitalism.
 

I would certainly second the last recommendation. Almost any transcript of Bill Maher's show will be a gold mine. It is, unintentionally, one do the funniest shows ever made.

I'm sure politicians are generous mines of quote nuggets, but this subtle quote from Hoover should be particularly funny to economists. While speaking of the state of the nation, he seems to fail to make a connection between unemployment and wages: "They are now the highest real wages in the world.", he said.

That and many others from Bryan Caplan:

It seems like he got them from Murray Rothbard.
