I think that right about now, what grown-ups that are left in the democrat party are going wtf!!!?! And Krugman doesn't seem like the type who would take a bullet, or make a last stand for a loser. Give it a little time.
Why do we have to hear from him on Tuesday, though? Does anybody know?
He may want the largest audience possible, and the ratings winner is American Idol, Tuesdays at 8:00, which BO will be preempting for the second time. That FOX will lose considerable revenue might make it a 2fer for him.
"And Krugman doesn't seem like the type who would take a bullet, or make a last stand for a loser."
Krugman is a third rate economist and a political hack of the worst kind. He used to be a sycophantic satellite of any Democrat who had power and devoted 95% of his columns to Bush bashing. But now that he won the Nobel Prize for Leftist Economics, awarded on purely political criteria (a la Al Gore, he has promoted himself to First Economic Guru and decided to tutor his lessers at the Obama Administration, feeling peeved if they don't follow instructions. They can either incur his wrath or follow him over the cliff, quite a dilemma.
Once upon a time, children, there was a vain emperor whose only worry in life was to dress in elegant clothes. He changed clothes every hour and loved to show them off to his people.
Substitute president for emperor and you have a very accurate description of someone very special to us all....
good night, JOM'ers, and sleep well, knowing that the emperor has no clothes.
Sorry to be OT, but in today news Canada refused entry to British MP George Galloway, due to him “providing support to a known terrorist organization”.
This is on top on refusing entry to Bill Ayers month ago.
They have a special flavor of climate skeptic up there, too, AL. One's worried about getting their buns frozen. Ditto Alaska. Now, isn't it interesting that Michael Steele seems to have gotten the message, too?
===============================================
As being “socialist” country, (health care and university education mostly paid by income and sales taxes), Canada is still luckily very picky in who is entering our borders.
Generally, “welfare socialism” worked satisfactory in Scandinavia before they opened their borders to muslim and African human garbage.
We are still holding our pedigree up here in Canakistan.

The Republicans are going to start in on AGW soon. We are cooling, folks. And being wrong-footed by the Democrats into expensively mitigating warming.

I will.
And in a rhetorical flourish that separates the men (and the guys, cf last post) from the Krugmans, I'll go a step further.
Those interminable prime-time TV addresses?
NiC at Nite.
