He is brilliant...and has been a thorn in the side of BushCo from day one.
If you missed him on Countdown/Keith Olbermann tonight, try to catch the replay later.

I hope that Obama has a place for him in his administration.

1. Putting complex economics concepts in layman's terms is an invaluable service
and no one does it better than Paul Krugman. I read his book back in 2003 and it changed the way I look at everything.

He deserves to be Treas. Sec. AND to win the Nobel PEACE Prize.

2. He's my favourite columnist. My favourite economist. He does for
economics what jon stewart does on the daily show.... he shines a bright light on politics that goes above and beyond his chosen field.
