I think this is a well deserved prize for someone who has been giving us the warning signals for many years. As a columnist in NYTimes, Krugman has been a fearless and very balanced commentator taking on both the right and sometimes the left. He has been attacked from both sides but in most cases his analysis has been spot on.
The Sewdish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Science, or to use it correct title The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel
Was awarded today to Dr. Paul Krugman of Princeton University.
for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity.
Congratulations to Dr. Krugman!
Ladies and gentleman, it's the start of the week, so you know what that means! Welcome to another edition of Manufacturing Monday! This week, one could possibly say, is the first in our new financial post-apocalyptic age. Last week we saw the market face a level of decimation not seen in almost a generation! The heart of the problem was, well actually still is, credit. Credit is the life blood of our economy, from aiding customers buy products to helping businesses meet payroll.

This guy does not know which way to go. All the better...
See below for video of Axelrod schooling Rick Davis.
On FOX News Sunday this morning, Axelrod flashed his mastery of the verbal smackdown by dismantling Rick Davis's exhausted talking points in sensei-like fashion. Axelrod controlled the entire segment by subduing interruptions, deflecting lies and reducing Davis's patented GOP drivel to a feeble, incoherent mash-up of tired conspiracy theories.
A couple of days ago I asked on this blog and some others, not at all sarcastically, when the McRacists would start lynching Obama in effigy. This is close enough....
McRabbleRouser needs to be forced to publically denounce this.
53-43 for BHO, according to ABC. Also - Bush is at 23/73, which is the worst in the history of the poll, Nixon included. Not bad at all.

"Drill baby, drill," is the now ever-present and popular battle-cry for many Americans. From Presidential candidates to everyday people, those who wish to consume sweet light crude as they have for a more than a century remind me of my hair, and the current President's energy policy. I ponder the parallels and invite you to consider . . .
During a recent press conference, as I gazed upon the President of the United States, noticeably aged after years in the Oval Office, I thought of my hair and my history. His wavy gray locks are not as the strands that fall from my head. Nor did the diminutive curl that danced on his brow remind me of my own tresses. The style the Chief Executive donned did not resemble the permanent waves, pompadours, or ponytails I once wore. As George W. Bush spoke of his energy policy, I pondered. His approach to petroleum and power were as the methodology I embraced when I colored my hair.
