The Farce Awakens

++Sometimes even Paul Krugman can't resist.He chides the Beltway punditry for its expectations that after the Paris attacks that voters would drift to a Republican with national security credentials. Krugman asks who are these people and why does anyone expect this when the GOP has fed panic after panic the moment President Obama was elected. Remember the Ebola Plague,the death spiral of Obamacare,the explosion of inflation. Instead Krugman rightfully mentions that the Donald's poll numbers keep increasing.

++Krugman gets in a solid whack at Nial Ferguson,the imperialist much-favored by neoconservatives. Ferguson said that Paris attacks were the modern version of the Huns sacking Rome. Krugman muses,"Did the Romans return to the cafes a day later?"

++We are to expect more of this nonsense. The Donald has doubled down on his thousands of Muslims cheering 9-11 in Jersey City by saying he had solid, really secret sources.
