Krugman Follow-Up

You already read that column, right? Good.

A tweet I tweeted:

#wingnuts are claiming Tax Policy Center refudiates™ Krugman, "defends" Ryan. Don't believe them: http://is.gd/e6XBw Read past headline #p2

That link (expanded here) will lead you to some discussion on the PK column and the inevitable kneejerk response by certain of those in the hand-tightenable threaded fastener community.

Also, two posts on the PK blog: "How To Spot A Flimflammer" and earlier, "Ryan Predictions." Sorry, Prof. K, but it would be irresponsible NOT to steal your closing lines from the latter:

So I think we can expect some world-class obfuscation.

Oh, and let me make another prediction: not one of the self-proclaimed centrists who have hailed Ryan for his truthtelling will admit that they were taken for a ride.

OH LIGHTEN UP BRENDAN IT'S CATURDAY, you say?

A'ight:

The Ultimate Compliment

Digby:

I am definitely naming my next cat after Paul Krugman. And the first mouse he brings in will be named Paul Ryan.

Oh, yes. You remember. He's a cat-blogger, too, in addition to all his other fine qualities.
