PAUL KRUGMAN BREATHES LIFE INTO AN OLD JOKE ABOUT THE NEW YORK TIMES

Headline from the New York Times:
World to End Tuesday! Women and Children Expected to be Hardest Hit!”

That was the old joke. Krugman’s actual headline on Feb 27,2011 read “Leaving Children Behind“.
The theme of his piece is that Republicans are making “draconian cuts in spending… And who will bear the brunt of these cuts? America’s children.”

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

CINDY AND A FRIEND

This picture is a reminder of the good old days when politics weren’t so bitter, when union thugs didn’t beat up journalists, when elected Democrats didn’t scream “Your are all f****** dead!” right inside the legislature chamber, at Republicans who cast a vote they didn’t like.

Yes, those were the good old days when Cindy and the Code Pinkers set up a clean and peaceful camp a discreet distance from the President’s home. Now protesters are bussed in from out of state to trash and squat in a legislative assembly hall like a bunch of radical college freshman.

Those were the good old days when our President stood on the side of law and order – criticize, debate and vote, and didn’t urge his supporters to “Get in their face”.
