It must be humor day in the econblogosphere. Noah Smith offers a delightful illustrated bestiary of various different commenters. Among those skewered: libertarians, post-Keynesians, Republicans, MMT-ers, market monetarists.

[Market Monetarists:] Favorite dead economist: No one. The spot is being reserved for Scott Sumner, along with thousands of life-sized terra cotta grad students.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!
One caveat, Art Laffer isn’t dead yet.
No, he isn’t dead, but one could argue his career is over in regards to impact on policy–.i.e. I took it to mean rhetorically dead….
Bah, it is only temporary…macroeconomics is really where economics looks silly…macro is like atmospheric physics lots of fancy models that nobody really believes.
I also took Laffer as black humor; he still appears on CNBC.
I’d only wished Smith had been able to imagine more pictures of how they really look; the nerdy photos were a well visited a few too many times. I LOL’ed at the Austrian pics.
