OK, so I took a break from packing to check out Krugman's latest. There's so much wrong with it that I really don't have the time dissect it thoroughly -- but one thing that just caused my jaw to drop.
[S]ome months ago an academic colleague � a man with strong Democratic connections � urged me to write a couple of columns praising the Bush administration. "What should I praise?" I asked.
There was a long pause � funny, isn't it, how "balance" becomes a goal in itself? � but eventually he came up with something: "How about its commitment to free trade?"
Paul, I don't think anyone's asking you to be balanced. I think we'd just like you to be somewhat fair on occasion. If the New York Times ever decides to give you the heave-ho, then just submit your columns to the Democratic National Committee. I'm sure Terry McAuliffe can give you a job.

Do we really think DeSantis, with a small, insular circle of advisers and limited personal skills is going to do well in the intimate contests in Iowa and New Hampshire?

YELLEN: "He cares very deeply."
CASSIDY: "Then where is his plan?"
YELLEN: "He stands ready to work with Congress."
CASSIDY: "That's a lie! A bipartisan group of senators have repeatedly requested to meet with him!"
1791: the Second Amendment allowed people to own and operate warships. https://twitter.com/SenatorDurbin/status/1636079172467433473
1791: Muzzle-loading muskets are the norm for firearms.
2023: Assault weapons can fire 83 rounds into a parade route in seconds.
It’s absurd that the new Second Amendment test from the Supreme Court assumes these two worlds are the same.
