For the same reason New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is qualified to rant about the media. [T]his week Al Gore said the obvious. "The media is kind of weird these days on politics," he told The New York Observer, "and there are some major institutional voices that are, truthfully speaking, part and parcel of […]
...you'd believe that the state of the environment in the United States is continually getting worse. While that's not factually the case, in his Tuesday column, Krugman argues just that. [L]ast week the Bush administration announced new rules that would effectively scrap "new source review," a crucial component of our current system of air pollution […]
...you're Paul Krugman and you come up with this as the basis for your column. In Friday's column, Krugman attacks some Republicans for having successful progeny. [A]merica, we all know, is the land of opportunity. Your success in life depends on your ability and drive, not on who your father was. Just ask the Bush […]
The New York Times' columnist Paul Krugman has returned from a week off, and once again sees pure evil and villany in everything the Bush administration does. In Tuesday's column, Krugman takes to task Bush's plan to privatize some of the government bureaucracy. Now, I don't feel strongly about this plan one way or another. […]
I'd been avoiding writing critiques/responses to the lame columns by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman recently. I'd just gotten tired of his constant, inane carping and he hadn't written anything really ludicrous (for him, that is) ... until today. Krugman decries the stupidity of the national electorate of handing over the executive and legislative […]
National Review's Deroy Murdock gives you the rest of the story when it comes to which major political party profits from the labor of American workers. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and his ilk on the left crow about Halliburton, Harken Energy and shady dealings by prominent Republicans that have resulted in financial loss […]
Kudos to Andrew Sullivan for digging up this blast from Paul Krugman's past. From "How to be a Hack:" While hired guns do not flourish at Harvard or the University of Chicago, however, in Washington they roam in packs. Portrait of a hired gun: He or she is usually a mediocre economist -- someone whose […]
The New York Times' Paul Krugman identifies who is to blame for all of the nastiness in Washington, D.C. -- President Bush. Like little Jeffy in Bill Keane's sappy comic, anytime something is amiss it's Bush's fault. In Jeffy's words --- "Not Me" did it. [Y]ou may recall that George W. Bush promised, among other […]
If you haven't been closely following the story on the purported e-mail that "proved" army secretary and former Enron executive Thomas White knew about the funny accounting going on at that company -- thereby complicit in duping investors -- then Patrick Sullivan has an excellent "the story so far" piece here. (Thanks to Henry Hanks […]
In addition to the note at the bottom of Krugman's column (you can find the link below), the New York Times also had this short article regarding the issue. The article, and Krugman's retraction, made news at Jim Romenesko's Media News, and prompted Jason Leopold to write in and defend his article. You can find […]
