Usually I agree with you on profanity. But in this case, I think its irony (in light of Zed's recent history) is amusing and actually has a point. In fact I the thought of writing a profanity-laced blog post as a rebuttal to this article actually crossed my mind.
Well, there's a clear, cogent, and knowledgeable rebuttal of his points. Even for someone such as myself who is not a libertarian, Shaw's arguments are weak, and yet the best you could do is sling around a bunch of four letter words?
By the way, I do read Tyler Cowen, who is, by the way, much better at elucidating his point of view without resorting to profanity, and most likely has a lot more respect for smart people like Krugman and Keynes, even where he disagrees, and he is certainly not pinning blame on "The Fed":
