The latest offering from "Columnist of the Year" Paul Krugman is amazing in its inanity because of Krugman's neglect of the biggest, most relevant issue when it comes to the current nuclear standoff with North Korea. Krugman's "analysis" (I think this is an appropriate time for the infamous scare quotes) of the North Korean situation […]
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest offering is a pessimistic assessment of the economy. Of note in Krugman's analysis are two things: First, Krugman, possibly for the first time (it would be nice to have access to Lexis-Nexis), acknowledges that the Bush Tax Cut has benefited the economy -- if only "marginally." Second, Krugman […]
According to Donald Luskin, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's grasp of history is iffy at best.
Today's offering from New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is more of what we've come to expect from the Democrats' snarky hatchet man. I'll start with the last part first, because it is really the central issue. It may be that the bad few weeks the administration has just had were the result of random […]
Paul Krugman's latest column and the storm of criticism around Trent Lott's statements would be look like a gentle breeze. The only identifiable group that it is still OK to demonize on the pages of The New York TImes are conservative Christians. Krugman's latest takes aim Christians as part of a grand, undeniably evil plot, […]
The Democratic Party has long proclaimed itself the friend of the "average American," taking the side of the "people against the powerful." But, that's the face they show the public, with the connivance of the national media -- The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN. The hidden face, is […]
Sen. Trent Lott's widely-reported remark at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party. But Paul Krugman's latest column does contain some whoppers. [A] man from Mars -- or from Europe -- might expect Mississippi voters to favor progressive taxation and generous social programs. After all, the state benefits immensely from the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon […]
I was skeptical upon reading New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest column attacking the Wall Street Journal editorial page. [C]arping critics of the conservative movement have been known to say that its economic program consists of little more than tax cuts, tax cuts and more tax cuts. I may even have said that myself. […]
When you win an award, I often see it as joining a club of people who've won it before. Therefore, I'm creating a list of awards I don't want to win. We'll start with the Nobel Peace Prize (Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter). The Heisman Trophy (O.J. Simpson). Time's Man of the Year (Adolf Hitler). Editor […]
While Krugman sees a vast right-wing conspiracy on every channel, his colleague Nicholas Kristof does some good work exposing the AIDS crisis in China. Since it is responsible for making these people sick, the Chinese government owes them supplies of the antiretroviral drugs that combat the virus. If the Communist Party used the money squandered […]
