Late Night Music: "Hey Paul Krugman"
Calculated Risk — "And for those of you wondering about yours truly — I’m temperamentally unsuited, have never had any desire for the job, and probably have more influence as an outside gadfly than I ever could in DC."

I just saw the devil and he's smilin' at me
The Sideshow — Bra of the Week "Hey Paul Krugman (A song, A plea)" "Are Business Executives Just More Apt to Be Unethical?" Libby has a little round-up, and remembers how long it's been. Let me get this straight: This is the good-guy side? "13 companies getting bailout money owe back taxes." Who could have predicted....? I've been meaning to read this for a couple of days now and still haven't found the time, so I'd better post the link before something eats my browser or something: Matt Taibbi on "The Big Takeover - The global economic crisis isn't about money - it's about power. How Wall Street ...

Promises, Promises: Could We Possibly Have a Stupider Press Corps?
Firedoglake — The problem with the American media is not so much the abject stupidity, but the utter inability to even remotely grasp just how stupid they are. Take for instance this appallingly stupid AP "analysis" piece by Liz Sidoti, where Sidoti decides to explore all of Obama's "broken" ...

Around the Blogroll and Elsewhere: Deadline Crunch Time Edition
Brilliant at Breakfast — For those of you who have come in from Buzzflash and Alternet the last few days, welcome. I'm sorry we had no new material for you yesterday, but if you've never been here before, you may not know that I am one of the lucky Americans who actually still has a full-time job (or again, as I was laid off from a job of eight years duration last summer). Right now said job has me on a timetable that I'm already not going to meet, so I'm heads-down testing all weekend. Usually on weekdays I'm up at 5 AM to see what fresh horrors have been unleashed upon the world while I slept, but on weekends I sleep in -- like until six -- but today as soon as I and my ...

TV SoundOff: Sunday Talking Heads
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed — Well, it was only a matter of time before Tim Geithner ruined one of my weekends, and apparently, it's going to be this one, to be followed, possibly, by all the rest of them. Yes, the Obama administration has leaked the details of their banking fix, and as it turns out, the whole thing might as well be titled Plan 9 From Goldman Sachs. What they intend to propose is nothing more than the same TARPy goodness they've already run up the flagpole, that's not substantively different from anything Hank Paulson did, that didn't get credit flowing to Main Street, and that won't offer the banking system the systemic shock it needs to change its behavior. ...

Newsweek Cover: “OBAMA IS WRONG: The Loyal Opposition of Paul Krugman”
Tennessee Guerilla Women — Paul Krugman -- who as far as I can see is right about everything -- is on the cover of the forthcoming Newsweek. The choice of the cover story -- Obama’s Nobel Headache -- is explained in a letter to readers by Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham. He writes: “Every once a while, … a critic emerges who is more than a chatterer—a critic with credibility whose views seem more than a little plausible and who manages to rankle those in power in more than passing ways. As the debate over the rescue of the financial system—the crucial step toward stabilizing the economy and returning the country to prosperity—unfolds, the man ...
