From The $10,000 Question by John Tierney, The New York Times, Aug. 23, 2005:
I don't share Matthew Simmons's angst, but I admire his style. He is that rare doomsayer who puts his money where his doom is.

After reading his prediction, quoted Sunday in the cover story of The New York Times Magazine, that oil prices will soar into the triple digits, I called to ask if he'd back his prophecy with cash. Without a second's hesitation, he agreed to bet me $5,000."

Whatever happened to the good old days when only 'citizen journalists' baited The Times?
