http://www.amazon.com/Dow-2008...&qid=1235087615&sr=1-1

I honestly can't tell which book has the worst premise. All i know is, neo-cons and people involved with wall street should never ever ever ever be trusted, EVER.

edit: another great one:

Yeah, that "Dow, 30,000 by 2008" one is classic. Check out some of the reviews if you want a good laugh. :laugh:

Haha those are just awesome!! I am not sure which I love more, they are all special in their own way. I guess I'd have to go with 30k for 2008 and "How it's different this time"

HAHA, the housing one:

?An important book, whether you agree with the author (as I do) that housing will remain an excellent investment or are convinced that home prices are poised for a plunge, David Lereah lays out a compelling vision of housing as a continuing positive investment?and how you can profit from real estate if you already own the home you live in, are looking to move from rental housing to an owner-occupied home, or want to use real estate as an investment.? ?DAVID BERSON, CHIEF ECONOMIST, FANNIE MAE

"Misunderestimated"?!? WTF, did the author take grammar lessons from Roger Clemens?!?

That was one of Bush's more well known verbal gaffes. Link

Ahh, I just tuned him out about 7 years ago and was unaware of that phenomenon.

I apologize to the author.

So that misunderestimated one was not satire though, right; I mean it was originally a serious book?

Bump, those books are too funny not to get more attention.

I'm surprised that book is still for sale.
