Krugman's Complaints.

"But I’m older, wiser, and a lot more cynical now..."

Yeah, I suppose hanging online with 400 of your fellow cynical liberal journalists, spinning the economic/political news and convincing no one of the independentness of your efforts can do that to a writer.

With his experience and wisdom, too bad Krugman joined that list in the first place. People might find his work less suspect if he had just chosen to go it alone. Stayed clear of the politicizing, kept independent, and not had to filter all that ratf**k nonsense.

Heck, had he stayed independent and actually exercised any influence, you'd think men like Krugman might been wise enough to question Alan Greenspan's ideas that marketed the housing bubble. It must really be a downer to be sitting there with all this wisdom, expertise and knowledge to offer your country, yet for all your prize-winning genius, it comes to naught for the country.

Ah, have a bowl of good ice cream, and don't even question the ineffectiveness of your work. Seems to be going around in the professional circles these days.
