Punch And Jude, Setting The Tone
Does Paul Krugman read Punch and Jude?
Well, no. Pretty definitely no. But we can dream, can't we?
"You may ask whether our leaders' drive to privatize reflects a sincere conservative ideology, or a desire to enrich their friends. Probably both. But before Iraq, privatization that rewarded campaign contributors was a politically smart move, even if it was a net loss for the taxpayers.
In Iraq, however, reality does matter. And thanks to the ideologues who dictated our policy over the past year, reality looks pretty grim."
Man, this guy hits on all cylinders.
And while you're looking around at the NYT, check out this article about the missile defense pipe dream/defense contractor boondoggle.
We don't need this, people. No one is going to launch an ICBM at the United States anytime in the foreseeable future--even in the not-so-foreseeable future. Can you say military-industrial complex?
