Herr Krugmann has his tinfoil hat welded on permanently to protect himself from extraterrestrial tea.

Golly, at least when the Crutch of Scatology and the Pink Muslims make public their masturbatory spacemen fantasies, the aliens are friendly.




From Fox News comes Pauley's audition for Jon Stewart's job:

PAUL KRUGMAN, NEW YORK TIMES: Think about World War II, right? That was actually negative social product spending, and yet it brought us out.

I mean, probably because you want to put these things together, if we say, "Look, we could use some inflation." Ken and I are both saying that, which is, of course, anathema to a lot of people in Washington but is, in fact, what fhe basic logic says.

It's very hard to get inflation in a depressed economy. But if you had a program of government spending plus an expansionary policy by the Fed, you could get that. So, if you think about using all of these things together, you could accomplish, you know, a great deal.

If we discovered that, you know, space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat and really inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, oops, we made a mistake, there aren't any aliens, we'd be better –

ROGOFF: And we need Orson Welles, is what you're saying.

KRUGMAN: No, there was a "Twilight Zone" episode like this in which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. Well, this time, we don't need it, we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus.

If only Stalin had lived a few more years, he would have staged a show trial and shown those aliens who the real boss was.

Thank goodness for Youtube. It will allow this left-fascist craziness to live forever...[I'll bet the Gorehound now wishes he hadn't invented the Internet or sliced bread.]
