Blogging will likely be limited Tuesday as I report at 8 a.m. (also known as "way too early") for jury duty. I will not be using these excuses, but I present to you two surefire statements that will get you tossed off any potential jury. For a criminal trial: "The police wouldn't have arrested him […]
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's column, addressing the latest developments in the Enron investigation presented him with a unique opportunity. This should be no surprise to anyone, but Krugman is once again the most partisan columnist among those in the direct employ of newspapers. (Only conservative bomb-thrower Ann Coulter is more partisan.) In its […]
New York Times most irrelevant columnist has written yet another column warning that the U.S. economy is becoming the spitting image of a failing Third World nation, specifically Argentina. Nothing new here. Truth is, Krugman is losing it. It's one thing to try and peddle this pap when the economy is in a mild recession, […]
On the day the NASDAQ closed above 2,000 for the first time in 21 months, The New York Times' most irrelevant columnist, Paul Krugman, comes out with a column designed to show that the economy is not improving. To quote, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Krugman's point is: Everything you know is wrong Black is white, up […]
Paul Krugman's favorite blogger, the anonymous Atrios, has the following "thoughts" on the capture of the Butcher of Baghdad: These are just some unorganized idle thoughts before I've had a cup of coffee. Capturing Saddam is a good thing - he was a bad guy. I'm really glad he was captured and not killed. But, […]
Let me first give credit where it is due, Tuesday's column by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is the type he should spend most of his time on. Today's column, however, is notable for a couple of things: First, there's no mention of President Bush. (I'm sure that will be remedied at a later […]
For some unexplainable reason, The New York Times waited over two weeks to publish this letter from historian Mark Von Hagen, whom the Times hired to look into Duranty's work. To the Editor: Regarding Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s suggestion to the Pulitzer Prize Board that revoking Walter Duranty's 1932 prize recalled the "Stalinist practice to airbrush […]
I wanted to point these out, but it slipped my mind earlier. Check out this column by Holman Jenkins on "Krugmanomics," and this one by Brian Anderson on the Democrats' illegal use of the filibuster.
I hate to say it, but it's clear that The New York Times isn't the paper it used to be. The Jayson Blair fraud and Augusta Country Club Crusade aside, the paper's Op-Ed writers also have some series credibility problems. If the Bush administration, and Republicans everywhere, were as bad as people like Maureen Dowd […]
So I chose to spend my time doing other -- somewhat more productive things. In short, Krugman trimmed and misrepresented a quote in order to make Republicans look bad.
