Pelosi and Reid will simply profoundly apologize on the Frost's behalf, proving that they are superior even to Republic loyalists like Harry Whittington, who apologized for getting in the way of Deadeye Dick's errant shotgun blast.

Maybe that wingnut Kennedy could see if the latest Nobels were awarded to people working on market failure. Let me check--yes, they were. Maybe historians could get their history right. Let me check--Kennedy missed again. Maybe economists should be right more than once a century- Krugman yes, Kennedy & his orthadox friends- no. Maybe Kennedy has been hanging out w/ Vic Dave Hanson--he hasn't been right about anything for years, either.

Steve Simels: Re your comment below about Mike Bloomberg vs. Giuliani, I agree that Bloomberg has been way better for New York. But that seems to be the sum total of his appeal as a politician -- that he's not a vindictive jerk, like that last guy (whether said last guy is Rudy or Bush) -- which seems to me to be setting the bar kind of low.
P.S. I visited your blog and left a comment on the Bowie thread....

I went to see Krugman with Franken once at B&N in Union Square. The place was so crowded I thought the floor couldn't support us all ... and it was fucking hot up there (4th floor). Anyway, Franken and Krugman come up on the escalator. Franken moves like a wrestler (his chest proceeds the rest of him and he sort of waddles). He walks in, very macho. Krugman is behind him and the look on his face is pure astonishment, as if to say, "Who are all these people and what the hell are they doing here?"
That's when he became the Cute Economist.

Third rule is:

Hahahahaha! Chalk one up for Rush Limbaugh auctioning off the letter of condemnation from Congress. $1.2M bucks, too cool. He read off names as he held it up, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry......What fools.
Harry Reid is a senile old codger who just took the word of Hillary's Media Mashers. What is funny or disturbing, however you look at it, is that his colleagues went along without question. Typical Dems, believe the worst disregard the truth.
I am not a regular listener of Limbaughs but anyone who listened to the tape between Rush and the caller about the "phony soldier" knew what he was referring to. Not the Democrats, they had to spin it to discredit and censor the one man who makes them squirm.
Just part of the Dem Circus, folks. Maybe the apology letter will go for double, IF that were to happen.

Despite having won awards, David Kennedy's Freedom From Fear is riddled with legal, economic and historic errors. For those interested, I have briefly summarized them on the comment section in the link.
For a tool such as Kennedy to be given the job of reviewing Mr. Krugman's book is an insult not only to Krugman but to all NYTimes readers.

No, Atrios is the cool older brother (although I am older than he). You are the dad. NTodd is more the uncle
I just want to know who is going to buy the beer and loan us the car to use.

I think the thing that impressed me when I was in Europe is that they go about their daily lives and don't think much about what we are up to.
American narcicissm is really amazing. We seem to believe that everyone spends as much time obsessing about us as we do.

"most Americans do not consider the Bush administration corrupt, and Paul Krugman cannot convincingly prove it is."
Oh, horseshit. As for "most Americans", I guess Kennedy doesn't read the same polls I do - or rather does not read them at all, trusting his Broderesque ass to tell him the true feelings of "most Americans".
As for proof, of course it can't be proved - all the evidence is hidden under the national security penumbra. The prisons would be empty if the common criminals could hide the evidence of their misdeeds with the force of the United States government, as the Bush Administration does.

Switzerland is voting in a parliamentary election after an unusually tense campaign marked by violent protests and charges of racism levelled against the country's biggest party.
With polling booths due to close on Sunday, about one-third of the electorate have already cast their vote by post.
The right-leaning Swiss People's Party's (SVP) focus on crime and immigration has captured the headlines in recent weeks and its aggressive campaigning has broken with the consensual traditions of Swiss politics.

Tens of thousands of people from across Italy have marched in Rome to demand labour market and pension reforms.
Waving red flags, the demonstrators demanded the government of Romano Prodi guarantee better rights for workers.
The rally was organised by the radical left, which is part of the governing coalition. It said the protest was not aimed against the prime minister.
But correspondents say Mr Prodi fears the march will further weaken his left-wing majority in parliament.
He called on his ministers to stay away from the demonstration.

"Maria Barfilomo made a disparaging reference to non-Merkin health care, ending with 'I wouldn't want to get sick in France'
I've never been sick in France, but my nephew ran through a plate glass door while his family was on vacation in Ireland. He just had a couple of superficial cuts, but they took him to the emergency room anyway. The bill was $34. I have never gotten out of an emergency room for less than $500. In fact, IIRC that's the ER charge.

I got sick in France once. ("Got sick" probably isn't the right phrase, but the point is, I needed a doctah) and it was fucking fine. In fact, it was no-fuss, no-muss problem fucking solved. I think I paid the guy the equivalent of $15.
