Krugman Challenge Update
It really is too bad that my 15 minutes occurs when I’m way behind in my work schedule. But to keep all of you up to speed: * Zerohedge picked up the story over the weekend. * Robert Wenzel just tipped me off that John Carney at CNBC ran this article. I now have my […]

That is my only explanation. Krugman is jet lagged from his trip, opens his inbox and finds 128 emails from people telling him to check out a website on which almost $24,000 (as of this writing) has been pledged. Doubt me? Look at this: A thought: it has occurred to me that we could use […]

Holy cow everybody, this is really taking off! I was out of commission for a few hours picking up my son, getting my car inspected, etc. (Cute anecdote: I told my son we had to get the car [emissions] inspected because of the government, and he told me he didn’t know what the government was. […]
