Today's Paul Krugman piece "State of Delusion" is worth the price of Times Select. The whole article is worth repeating, but I suppose that is not allowed. As he summed up, "the State of the Union is normally an occasion for boasting about an administration's achievements. But what's a speechwriter to do when there are no achievements?"
So . . . I think a few days ago someone posted a way to get Paul Krugman for free. I can't find the post. Anyone remember how to do it?
