ROGER KIMBALL: Why People Now Ignore Paul Krugman. Now? “To respond to Paul Krugman is like staring at the poor chaps who stand on street corners shouting obscenities at imaginary enemies. It just isn’t polite, and mothers are right to shade their children’s eyes and hurry them by such pathetic scenes of mental anguish. . . . I suspect that Paul Krugman is going to find his street corner more and more lonely in the weeks to come.”

RELATED (From Ed): Personally, I’ve been ignoring Krugman since World War II.
