Economist Paul Krugman takes on fire policy in his latest diatribe against Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Oops...my mistake. Krugman's attacking Bush, for wanting exactly the same thing for the rest of the fire-ravaged West that Daschle arranged for South Dakota. Thinning of the forests in an effort to minimize the effects of forest fires. […]
You knew the kinder, gentler Paul Krugman couldn't last. Just a few days after a thoughtful analysis of the country's economic situation, with nary a vicious attack in sight, Krugman returns to his old ways with today's piece in The New York Times. [D]on't tell, maybe they won't ask. That was the message of a […]
Still no correction forthcoming on the Bush/Rangers faux pas. I'm thinking that if they were going to fix it, they'd have done it by now. Krugman's column today is the kind of thing that could eventually win him some awards -- if he'd stick with economic issues instead of partisan attacks he'd get farther...and I'd […]
The New York Times' Paul Krugman would have you believe that Enron and Cisco Systems are one in the same. True, Enron has filed for bankruptcy, and its main business was trading intangible things, and investors and analysts were too prideful to concede that they never knew exactly how the company made its money -- […]
I occasionally read The American Prospect's blog, Tapped, "just to find out what the enemy is up to." Today, Instapundit directed me to the blog (on an unrelated item) and I spotted a defense of Krugman. Actually, it's a rather lame defense of Krugman. The writer, a flack for the Office of Management and Budget, […]
It should come as no surprise that there is nary a mention of Krugman's little gaffe on the Bush/Rangers deal in his latest column. Instead Krugman continues his partisan attacks on Bush. I'm sure that lots of history is being falsified as you read this -- there are several three-letter agencies I don't trust at […]
Mickey Kaus has got the dirt on New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's attack on President Bush's profits from the sale of the Texas Rangers many moons ago. A few days after Krugman's column accusing Bush's partners in the Texas Rangers ownership of giving a $10 million gift to then-Gov. Bush, the Times published this […]
Roll Call is reporting that House GOP member have been dissuaded from filing an ethics complaint against a Democratic House member after Minority Leader Dick Gephardt threatened to retaliate against Republicans. Roll Call outlines the case against Rep. Paul Kanjorski: GOP strategists and party officials had been contemplating for months filing ethics charges against Kanjorski, […]
Yes, it's another Paul Krugman column. I'll let some bloggers from New Jersey, Tennesee and Alabama address some of the claims of mismanagement that Krugman alleges took place in those states. It must be his training in business and economics, but Krugman repeatedly assumes in his attacks against President (and then-Governor) Bush and the governors […]
Let me count the ways. He's ornery. He'll likely to kick you in the kneecaps if he gets riled. He has a tendency to stick his head in the sand when it comes to the fact that Social Security isn't viable in perpetuity the way it is currently structured. In his latest New York Times […]
