...Not that it matters even a half-hill of beans ...<br />but Krugman's Nobel prize was in Economics, his area of academic whatever. It may have helped with the prize selection committee that:<br /><br />a) he is clearly on the side of government largesse -- AKA Keynesian "economics" ; and<br /><br />b) he remains a globalist.<br /><br />Should the NYT collapse, nobody need worry that Krugman will starve. He'll still have his job at Princeton to fall back on. If all else fails, I'm sure the folks in DC will consider him as "too (whatever) to fail" and will "bail him out" of any difficulties he may face.Jazznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-76776175176833260062011-09-12T18:12:08.063-05:002011-09-12T18:12:08.063-05:00My mother always told me that if you can't say...My mother always told me that if you can't say something nice about someone then you shouldn't say anything. <br /><br />On the subject of Paul Krugman...badlarrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-12109654216346397892011-09-12T16:36:14.455-05:002011-09-12T16:36:14.455-05:00When I first typed 'Obama' back in 2008 my...When I first typed 'Obama' back in 2008 my autospell kept trying to correct it to 'Abomination'.<br /><br />Smarter than we think indeed.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-35674632073071405412011-09-12T15:18:15.549-05:002011-09-12T15:18:15.549-05:00Perhaps Blogger's spam filter is smarter than ...Perhaps Blogger's spam filter is smarter than we suspect.

@Stilton, for whatever...@John, extremely well said.<br />@Stilton, for whatever reason the entire comments section from yesterday's post has been vanishing and reappearing on and off since yesterday afternoon. Up as I type, not up earlier. Just FYI.<br /><br />As for Krugman, when/if the NYT goes under, so long as he remains a serviceable Useful Idiot, Soros et al will always find a platform to install him on. And when Krugman's shrill dullardry wears out, there's no shortage of others--the system has raised a generation of them, who as John points out have had no experience of a free America in their short lives. <br /><br />As for the 'Truthers' who prefer to believe that the attacks were all a government hoax, it's psychiatrically complex, but clearly it is psychologically easier and more comforting for them to believe that it's only bad old Bush and 'rogue' elements of the familiarly old 'bad' CIA at work. <br />The concept that much of their well intentioned kumbiyah world-peace worldview could be dangerously mistaken, that there are in fact billions of stupid yet determined Islamofascists eager to exterminate them and that this is the looming battle of our times is psychologically much scarier and unsettling for them to wrap their minds around. <br />This denial mechanism runs through the whole spectrum of liberal thought, a clinging to a craving for childlike reassurances that's only intensified by their hapless unpreparedness for any sort of actual(non-verbal) conflict.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-75042327114850172352011-09-12T14:15:27.409-05:002011-09-12T14:15:27.409-05:00@Anonymous (five above)- Great post.

I heard it nearly consta..."Bush did it!"<br /><br />I heard it nearly constantly from one coworker for over a year. I'm not even sure how long I had the misfortune of working with him, but it was far too long. He was ill-informed, arrogant, freeloader, and state-dependent. He loved Michael Moore and quoted Bill Maher. He was also a thief and a liar - literally stole sales/commissions from coworkers and merchandise from the company.<br /><br />Statists love these types of people. They have fallen so in love with the idea of 'big government' that they know more about 'the system' then maintaining their own existence. They are also excellent propaganda tools. They spout the nonsense literally created by the left and expose it as truth. They don't listen to reason, and they have their own 'evidence' as proof of their conviction.<br /><br />The person I'm talking about is probably a 'proof concept' for the left. He also believes:<br /><br />"The CIA confiscated videos of the <i>missile</i> attacks Bush ordered on the World Trade Center (and Pentagon) in order to photo-shop in images of 747s."<br />"Jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel."<br />"There were never any hijacked planes."<br />"The people on the 'missing' planes aren't dead. They were given new lives by the CIA to perpetrate 9/11 and are staunch allies of Bush."<br /><br />I had to hear these vicious lies on a near daily basis for over a year from an idiot who lived in his <i>girlfriend's</i> parent's house and deduced who to claim their child under for the best tax benefits. I had to hear his malicious and erroneous 'evidence' for over a year.<br /><br />The truly sad part is the fact that some of the 'evidence' was based in the real world. It was not complete fiction. There was <i>just</i> enough truth to make it impossible to argue the ideology. At least to somebody like me who is not armed with the grace, patience, and force of will required to deal with pure, malicious ideologies.<br /><br />These people won't go away. The ideology won't go away. Worse, they have control of the media and education systems. They have an army of union thugs ready to do the government's bidding; they've said as much. They try to vilify and demoralize. They protect themselves to feel superior, and they have no qualms doing horrible things to people they openly hate.<br /><br /><br />Here's a link to calm people's nerves a bit. Well, cry might be more apt. By the way if you're using Mozilla Firefox, you can highlight a link, right click, and click Open Link in New Tab even if it's not a 'hyperlink'.<br /><br />http://www.pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=80&load=4125Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-35835347844240581622011-09-12T13:00:15.302-05:002011-09-12T13:00:15.302-05:00The only way to get rid of hate mongers like Krudm...The only way to get rid of hate mongers like Krudman is to vote with your money. When the NYT goes belly-up, he will be unemployed and I will be laughing my ass off.<br /><br />My wife and I completely stopped watching network TV and buying newspapers years ago. I really believe if all true Americans would do this, we could rid ourselves of the daily dose of bile and bullshit. It was not easy, but now when I happen to flip to one of the "major" channels, the programming sucks and I'm glad I weaned myself off of it.<br /><br />Yes, Soros has DEEP pockets, but even he would eventually go broke trying to bail out all the unprofitable papers and TV networks. May the NYT go the way of the Rocky Mountain News and so many others.<br /><br />When I was a kid, people used to say, "If you don't love America, leave it!" That's for you, Krudman (and Wright, Mahrer, Garofalo, Moore, Kutcher, Pelosi, Soros, Behar, Biden, Obama....).<br /><br />"Age of civility," my big ol' hairy butt!Colbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-80866708527063583492011-09-12T12:57:35.399-05:002011-09-12T12:57:35.399-05:00It's a bad day when I think McCarthy might hav...It's a bad day when I think McCarthy might have been onto something.Marj the Truck Drivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-6092598556402951492011-09-12T12:37:24.423-05:002011-09-12T12:37:24.423-05:00Just read on Drudge that Rumsfeld cancelled his de...Just read on Drudge that Rumsfeld cancelled his description to the NYT after reading Krugman's "repugnant" article.Earlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-26623112134225424532011-09-12T12:30:43.827-05:002011-09-12T12:30:43.827-05:00@Readers- Great comments (as usual) above.
