MISSED ONE:

Sigmund Freud's Grand Delusion (Dinesh D'Souza, 8/12/08, AOL News)

In a way, Freud is following the downward path of that other great totem of the last couple of centuries, Karl Marx. It's hard to believe so many intelligent people spent their lives studying these two thinkers. Intellectuals, we have to conclude, are often fatally attracted to far-out theories that tease the mind but that bear little relation to what's actually going on in the world.

The third "bearded godkiller" is faring no better.
