Had a rare occasion to watch some of the Sunday shows yesterday and it was shocking to me. Although I was being distracted quite a bit from them, the only anchor I noticed bring up Palin’s law breaking while in office was Chris Matthews on Pox Newz. Of course, it was a set-up to let Rick Davis say something like, “Nothing story and you should stop talking about it.”

So a Republican dominated panel is responsible for releasing a report that finds Palin “unlawfully violated ethics code” while Governor, and Brokaw, Schieffer and Snufalupagus don’t think that bringing up less than 48 hours after the report is released??!!? This person was a complete unknown just a month or so ago and could be one heartbeat from the Presidency in an era where America and the world are in extremely dangerous positions. Plenty of William Ayers talk all around even though that’s been debated ad nauseum for weeks and was discussed a lot in the primaries.

This is obviously an intentional effort by BigMedia mavens to provide cover for the Repub ticket. Considering what a joke the Drilla from Wasilla is and the precarious nature of America right now, I consider these Newzholes to be accomplices in treasonous acts. How do you not even mention this story?!? Imagine if Joe Biden was found by a bunch of Democrats to have “violated the public trust.”

It’s obvious that BigMedia will go to extremes to help keep the race winnable for Repubs, both at the top of the ticket and all the Congressional races.

Maybe. His early trade work does point to a possible role for industrial policies that pure free trade models do not provide. However, I’d be surprised if he got it for that work without sharing it with at least one early co-author.

Another main area of Krugman’s work applies the same ideas as the trade theory to questions of economic geography, including patterns of urbanization and specialized production within countries. I kind of think this is what the committee will turn out to have had in mind.

Krugman, and both of these lines of inquiry, are part of an interesting book for general readers about modern economic theories and how they developed:

Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations: A Story of Economic Discovery by David Warsh.

The focus of the book actually is work associated with a Nobel prize no doubt coming soon, to Paul Romer. I think I’ll finish mine this week8}

the money raisers picked palin, mccain would go broke without her

that’s the reason she was picked, now, if he’s smart and can shed his handlers, he loses her

he needs a game changer, that is probably not enough but he needs a game changer to get some free press

Per the Wikipedia, it was Reagan in 1984 with 525 and 49 out of 50 states.

Yes, but since she was picked she has been in the hands of the Bushies.

And who do you think picked her in the first place?
