It makes wingnuts cry.

The American economist Paul R. Krugman won the Nobel economics prize on Monday for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity.

Mr. Krugman, 55, a professor at Princeton University in New Jersey and a columnist for The New York Times, formulated a new theory to answer questions about free trade, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

    Awesome, Quaker. A great demonstration of the right-wing mind, if you make a prediction, you will be mocked. If you end up being correct, you will be ignored.

    btw, I think Donald Luskin is about to have an aneurysm

    Paul Krugman, from February 2008:
    Obama Supporters Are Like Nixon

    “I won’t try for fake evenhandedness here: most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Mr. Obama, who want their hero or nobody. I’m not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality.”

    Prescience. Go Krugman.

    Apparently everything in the entire whole wide world has a liberal bias.

    To which one can react with “Perhaps there something to be said for the viewpoint that a majority seems to have” or “No! No! You’re wrong and you’re all against me but I’m right dammit!”

    “Obama Supporters Are Like Nixon”

    Ah yes, scathing stuff from Newbusters when they’re not peddling busllhit conspracies about why American Carol tanked or Dr. Zaius Brent Bozell bitching about Lewis Blacks’ “foul mouth”. Now theres some well spent Scaife dollars.

    “Apparently everything in the entire whole wide world has a liberal bias.

    Everything.”

    Ya know, that’s as good a summary of life for the past eight years as any I’ve ever read.
