Okay, I get it; the reason Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate is that he’s from Mars.
To: Jack Hammer
Wow he read The Watchmen... sigh...

I know the point he is trying to make - but what happens when the alien invasion doesn’t materialize??
Do we keep spending on weapons to fight imaginary space invaders? Who then pays down the debt for that build-up? Will not the private sector reduce spending and employment, as they have now, because of this focus on preparation for alien invasion - and Gov’t need to pay for it?
Krugman will just bring us right back to where we are now.

I think it’s called “Enfer” in French . . .

The concept is that in the face of a common enemy dedicated to destroying us, we would cast aside or differences and work together to preserve ourselves.
70 years ago, maybe.
Now, we not only coddle the common enemy of islam, but we invite it in, give it special privileges and protections and generally enable the enemy to undermine us politically and physically.
Even if aliens acted like on “Independence Day” the cowards in Congress and the executive branch, and liberals all over the would say it was our fault the aliens attacked because we “disrespected” them.

How about we spend an equal amount of money on building a defensive line on the southern border where we have a real invasion instead of some make believe one.

So those Obama’s purple shirt are our first line of defense against alien invasion?

So Krugman is saying his stimulus solution didn’t work because we underestimated the size of the (imaginary) alien force?
To: Nachum
We’re being invaded by the planet Stupider.
To: Nachum
At least Gingrich's Moon and Mars ideas would create another SMET boom that would have practical benefits for all, and would put humanity's eggs in two or three baskets instead of just the Earth's one.
The Krugiot is a krugiot.

I'm still trying the figure out why Krugman is a Princeton professor, New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate. There are college freshmen with a better understanding of economics!
This raises the question in my mind as to what additional substance is being introduced into "recreational drugs" in the New York area? Does Bloomberg have the same supplier?

More likely, Hussein & Co. are from Uranus which explains the entire administration.

Krugman has been watching too many Outer Limits reruns. He got this idea from one of their better episodes. See:
Architects of Fear

Negative, they would say it’s because we were destroying the earth that the aliens came along to righteously punish and eradicate us, and why didn’t we support their global warming bills?

We can’t seem to handle an alien invasion from Mexico, so I’m pretty sure we’d be helpless against one from outer space.

“Solman asked: are you suggesting then that there needs to be some collective fiction?”
Krugman’s REAL response should have been:
“Of course. We call it liberalism.”
