Economic numbers are much better than expected, and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman cautions that this growth rate cannot be sustained. There's really little doubt that the economy cannot sustain an astronomic 7.2 percent quarterly growth in the GDP. So Krugman's not really going out on a limb, but there's also an admission in […]
On Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes" a couple of weeks ago our favorite New York Times columnist Paul Krugman accused Don Luskin of being a "stalker." Luskin went on a week later and asked for a formal apology. Of course, that's not gonna happen. Well, Luskin's first salvo over the "stalker" slander has apparently hit […]
In Tuesday's column, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman sought to defend himself against charges of anti-Semitism and distance himself Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Well, Mahathir let the cat out of the bag when he told reporters that Bush lied -- a theme common throughout the majority of Krugman's writings. THE President of the […]
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, under immense fire for his column last week when he sought to explain Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad anti-Semitism, comes out with a defense -- sort of. First, Krugman tries to rewrite history. Last week, Krugman explained that Mahathir's anti-Semitism was Bush's fault. This week Krugman uses a technique […]
Don Luskin digs up some dirt on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. It appears as though Krugman's Tuesday column isn't the first time he's defended or excused anti-Semitic comments from Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. On a related note: Last Friday, Paul Krugman accused Don Luskin of "stalking" him. Krugman's getting a little paranoid, […]
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest screed takes aim at Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's outrageous comments at a summit meeting of Islamic states. But Mahathir's comments are only a symptom -- the cause is (surprise!) George W. Bush. Mahathir claimed that the "Jews rule the world by proxy" and that they must refocus […]
When good economic news comes out, does Krugman address it? No, like a little child being told something he doesn't want to hear, he puts his fingers in his ears and whines the same ol' song. Krugman, who has yet to win a Nobel Prize in economics, quotes George Akerlof, who has one a Nobel […]
Don Luskin catches New York Times columnist Paul Krugman practicing deception once more. So Krugman hand-picked a "model" that confirmed his prejudices. But does it? After spending a few minutes playing the role of Joseph Wilson IV and "drinking sweet mint tea," I found that Krugman had sexed-up his hand-picked "model." First I downloaded the […]
Headline: "Jobless Claims Lowest in Eight Months." So, when good economic news hits, what can you be sure of? Well, like death and taxes, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman will ignore it. Krugman comes out today with a defense of name-calling, oddly titled "Lessons in Civility." The column is mainly a hodge-podge of probably […]
Arnold Kling over at Tech Central Station pens an open letter to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman urging him to become "part of the solution, not part of the problem." For example, suppose I were to say, "We should abolish the minimum wage. That would increase employment and enable more people to climb out […]
