I started working on this blog about a week ago and then set it aside when Tim John posted that he was attending Drinking Liberally. I thought I’d talk to him a bit and add any new information before posting. Well he showed up but I got distracted by other conversations. Well after reading [...] Posted by Proud Progressive on August 23, 2010, at 5:18 pm

Paul Krugman takes on the Golden Boy of the GOP – Paul Ryan – in today’s New York Times. You can read his column “The Flim Flam Man” here. I thought there were several points worth extracting from the editorial. “But no: as long as someone on the right claims to have bold new proposals, he’s hailed as an innovative thinker.
