Oh god whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Give him an even bigger head.

...I'm sorry, I find that cover to be hilarious. I don't know why but it is!

[buongiornodaisy]

It's not even that for me. It's like, the capslock, and the quasi-srs bsns look on his face that is making for the lulz.

[lostambitions]

Concur. They're also trying to make him look emo, which is simply not right.

[bord_du_rasoir]

Oh no.

I like Krugman and all, but this is weird.

He's wearing the same dopey expression he was wearing when he debated Donald Marron on PBS's News Hour.

He always has that kind of look on his face - I know what you are talking about. Sort of like he is either stoned, or kind of like deer in headlights, maybe? The shadow on his upper lip, from his moustache, makes it look like his mouth open a lot.

But I still like him a lot.

The last thing we need to combat the cult of Obama is a cult of Krugman. I like them both a lot, but they're both kind of wrong, kind of a lot. But they're smarter and more right more of the time IMHO.

Usually I like him but he was a huge douche in this interview.

I've come to despise the term "concern trolling." That shit is misused.

[syndicalist]

I agree. I was called that a few times back in November, either right after or right before the election. I didn't know what it meant at the time.

[missmurchison]

It happened to me too. It's often used to describe someone who happens to disagree with you who you can't call an outright troll.

No kidding. On this community there's been a large contingent of people calling any liberal who voices legit criticisms of the current administration's actions/choices "concern trolls." It's fucking ridic.
