Paul Greenberg has a hilarious syndicated column out today about Paul Krugman’s ridiculous record of prognostication:
It started out as a gag here on the editorial page of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and soon became a superstition:
Every time the stock market took a little dip, we’d reprint one of Paul Krugman’s dour columns from the New [...]

On Friday, Editor and Publisher hyped this Sunday NYTimes magazine piece by Michael Crowley about the influence of conservative vs. liberal blogs.
Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman offer stiff competition on a weekly basis, but Crowley’s embarrassing little squib (283 words) has to be one of most insipid, shallow, and uninformed wastes of space to grace [...]

The New York Times has run yet another correction to columnist Paul Krugman’s numerous errors regarding the recounts in Florida after the 2000 presidential election. These errors were noted by bloggers more than a month ago.
The correction comes in the form of a “Letter From the Editor” by editorial page editor Gail Collins, who acknowledges [...]

New York Times columinst Paul Krugman corrected the strange correction to his August 22 column. NRO’s Donald Luskin notes that the latest correction “was never published in the print edition of the Times.” He also points out that “archival versions of the three prior Krugman columns bearing his falsehoods about the consortium’s results remain uncorrected [...]

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has issued two corrections to his August 19 and August 22 columns. The first correction concerns his false claim that turnout in Ohio’s Miami County last fall was an unbelievable 98.5 percent. Krugman admits he relied on figures from tinfoil hat-wearer Rep. John Conyers rather than Ohio’s Secretary of [...]

Richard Baehr just tears Paul Krugman apart. This is a followup to his first ripping of Krugman. Krugman doesn’t know enough to know when he’s should just surrender and issue an apology and tried to correct his mistakes from his previous column. Unfortunately, he put yet more errors into his correction.
Politicalities [...]

Here are some blog entries that are worth checking out.
Gateway Pundit on Hunter Thompson’s remains achieving liftoff.
Richard Baehr has a good, long look at Paul Krugman’s claim that two media consortiums found that Gore should have won the 2000 election. As most of you remember, those media recounts (which took about six months and [...]

I’m sure liberals will be buzzing about this Washington Post story, which purports to show the Bush administration has overstated the number of successful terrorism prosecutions.
Two leading Bush critics who might feel sorely tempted to gloat are war-on-terror opponents New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Georgetown law professor David Cole. Just one teeny, tiny [...]

MarketWatch reports:
The New York Times Co. on Monday said that, starting in September, access to Op-Ed and certain of its top news columnists on the paper’s NYTimes.com Web site will only be available through a fee of $49.95 a year. The service, known as TimesSelect, will also allow access to The Times’s online archives, early [...]

More smashing of the myth of liberal tolerance from Ann Coulter, who strikes back at the simpering pie-throwers:
Liberals enjoy claiming that they are intellectuals, thrilled to engage in a battle of wits. This, they believe, distinguishes them from conservatives, who are religious fanatics who react with impotent rage to opposing ideas. As one liberal, Jonathan [...]

Media Matters, the Soros-funded left-wing media watchdog, made a big stink last summer about talk show host Michael Savage’s assertion that some illegal aliens vote. Here is what Savage is quoted as saying on his July 26, 2004, show:
“I’ll go down the list of people who should not have the right to vote. Let’s [...]

Lots of readers are asking me to comment on the Virginian-Pilot’s decision to drop my syndicated column.
The most amusing thing is that the paper’s decision was news at all. I’ve been nationally syndicated for five years now, and papers come and go routinely. I’ve been fortunate over the years to have gained far more than [...]

Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford Law School, and his colleague David Mills, a lecturer at Stanford Law School, write in a Slate op-ed (”The Case Against John Ashcroft: Why don’t Democrats condemn the disastrous attorney general?“):
We have seen major terrorist prosecutions brought with much political publicity fail with hardly a whimper. The major jury [...]

Paul Krugman has a column in today’s New York Times decrying America’s health care system. He supports–surprise!–a single payer approach.
I have commented before on the problems with central planning in health care. I certainly am not convinced that a government-run system is the answer, but I do [...]

Last month, it was Paul Krugman playing fast and loose with facts on the New York Times op-ed page. This month it is Barbara Ehrenreich, the far-left author who is subbing for Thomas Freidman while he writes his next book.
Ehrenreich’s thesis in today’s column is that George W. Bush is similar to King George [...]

On April 27, 2004, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman asserted that Dick Cheney’s desire to deny access to details about his energy task force meetings was tantamount to a defense of “elected dictatorship.” In light of yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling supporting Cheney’s position by a 7-2 margin, it is worth recalling Krugman’s extraordinary words:
Mr. [...]

Hey, Paul Krugman, make up your own damned Ashcroft attacks!
Turns out that his latest screed looks an awful lot like this online post from April 8 and this UPI commentary from March 14. Via economicbriefing.com
More from Donald Luskin and friends.

…and the day has just begun!
From a reader who contacted the New York Times ombudsman regarding Paul Krugman’s whoppers about the Justice Department’s prosecution of terrorists:
They blew me off. Said that was just his opinion, I need to show facts that prove him wrong, bunch of BS like that. Told me the [...]

In today’s column, Paul Krugman of the New York Times argues that John Ashcroft is the worst attorney general in U.S. history. He states:
First, there’s the absence of any major successful prosecutions. The one set of convictions that seemed fairly significant � that of the “Detroit 3″ � appears to be collapsing over accusations [...]
