Paul Krugman Wins Nobel Prize For Economics

I've been following Paul Krugman's column and blog in the New York Times lately, trying to make sense of the financial meltdown. He has often been the lone sane voice speaking out in a crowd of tinkle-down economists. Congratulations to him on his Nobel Prize for Economics.

McCain's answer on the economy - "I know how to fix the economy"

McCain's answer on the war on terror - "I know how to win a war"

McCain's answer on healthcare - "I know how to fix healthcare"

McCain's answer on taxes - "Obama wants to raise taxes"
