Paul Krugman jumps the shark.

"These days Krugmanâs liberal agenda always takes precedence over economic principle. He has described himself as âan unabashed defender of the welfare state.â He has declared, âFor me, Sweden of 1980 would be ideal.â He has called Barack Obamaâs sweeping plan for socialized medicine ânaïveâ because it doesnât contain enough mandates. He has said that âWe should be getting 28% of GDP in [tax] revenue,â when the highest level ever collected, even in wartime, is less than 21 percent."
"In 1999 Paul Krugman was paid $50,000 by Enron as a consultant on its âadvisory board,â and that same year he wrote a glowing article about Enron for Fortune magazine. But he would change his tune. After Enron collapsed in 2001, Krugman wrote several columns excoriating the company. (One featured what may be the most absurd howler in the history of op-ed journalism: âI predict that in the years ahead Enron, not Sept. 11, will come to be seen as the greater turning point in U.S. society.â) In most of these columns Krugman worked hard to link Enron to the Bush administration, and in one he actually blamed Enronâs consultants for the companyâs collapse â while neglecting to mention that he, too, had been an Enron consultant.
Daniel Okrent, while ombudsman for the New York Times, wrote that âPaul Krugman has the disturbing habit of shaping, slicing and selectively citing numbers.â"

Hey Paul.............
I surmised yesterday, following reading that fucking abject cuntpost, that I, in all likelihood, had previously never come to hate any particular person in my 34 yrs.
That....article....left me beyond distracted. Max distracted. Beyond any distraction earlier brought about by lust, greed, anger, fear.
Jesustits do I hate Paul Krugman.
Dear Chance,
Grant me the opportunity to spend some small time incarcerated for removing the nose from that craven cunt.
