Who saw the financial crisis or peak oil?
I had some fun putting this slide together quickly for a recent presentation. Regulars here can probably name everyone below, but most people probably only know those on one side. Any others to add or switch? For instance, I forgot Brooksly Born, who warned about dirivatives years ago.

IMHO, Pelosi, Dodd, Frank and perhaps Rangel would be good additions to the left. Incompetence of that magnitude deserves recognition!

Is that Roscoe from MD on the right? Super collage. Great idea. Funny who everyone (other than bloggers) are listening to. Enron all over again - just on a larger scale.

Steve Keen on the right.

Add Karl Denninger, Jim Sinclair, Mike Ruppert (especially!) and Charles Hugh Smith to the Right.
To the left toss in CNN, CBS, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, The Economist, Time, Newsweek, Business Week, Forbes, Barrons, ABC, NBC, CNBS, MSNBC, FOX, Christian Science Monitor, L.A. Times. and the New York Times.
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.~ Morpheus

I ONLY trust the blogs. Mind you, not all blogs are credible, some are reckless and conjectural, but that the "baby and bathwater" principle at work.

Rep Roscoe Bartlett's pic isn't there on the right but should be, as well as the other great suggestions above.
Thank goodness for bloggers. Knowing what I know now I'd never go back ignorant bliss again.
Hint, one guy on the left was around the Bretton Woods era; the rest are all alive still.

Krugman on the left. Nobel prize my arse.
Cool post, Woodman!
What's kinda fun for me - I recognized every single person on the right side instantly, but didn't recognize [only one] left side photo. For some bizarre reason I feel especially proud of that! :-)
But what I'm really proud of is that I've personally met 6 of the people on the right, and none of the people on the left.
