Paul Krugman annoys me. He makes good points often but there's never a time in any of his writings that he doesn't get snarky and opinionated. All summer long he ended his columns with something to the effect of "and that's why the nominee should be Hillary and not that Obama character."
Now that he's won the Nobel Prize he's sure to walk on water. Like in the Hudsucker Proxy you can imagine other writers in the Times newsroom "betcha a c-note he mentions the Nobel" just before Krugman blurts out "I'll stake my Nobel Prize on it!!"
Maybe that's an obscure reference. But all my pinko friends love him. And yet he's actually quoted in today's Times about the award:
"To be absolutely, totally honest, I thought this day might come some day, but I was absolutely convinced it wasn’t going to be this day."So you figured that someday you would win the Nobel Prize? Who does that? Is it just me?
