And Speaking of Paul Krugman

And Speaking of Paul Krugman

There was a entertaining juxtaposition of a news story and a Paul Krugman rant in the New York Times the other day.

There was Krugman, predictably condemning the Democrats' favorite enemy, Halliburton for skimming excessive profits on the sale of gasoline to the US military in Iraq. Then, there was a news article in the same edition with the single sentence that read, "The officials said Halliburton did not appear to have profited from overcharging for fuel, but had instead paid a subcontractor too much for the gasoline in the first place."

I guess Paul Krugman doesn't read all the news that the Times considers fit to print.
