Krugman's Balls

 One of the greatest features of the Internet is the ability to go back in time with a "click" and see what people were actually saying 2, 3 or 5 years ago on a given subject. I use this capability to great effect here on this blog, or at least I thought I did until I read this Niall Ferguson article, "The Rise and Fall of Krugmania in the UK", posted on the HuffPo news/opinion aggregator. This scathing review grabs Keynesian economics premier acolyte by his small balls and twists - hard. Not really any new news here as the KOTCB blog has a permanent link to Paul Krugman's writings (see Clown Links > BullKrug) and that's just the old stuff - stops at 2010 before the results of his advise really started to sink in here in the USA.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
