You must not read The Krug much if you think he doesn't completely agree with what I have to say about wealthy corporate special interest pillaging

I got that information from him in the first place anyways

Meh, you're probably right actually. I don't read his blogs or NYT columns or anything. I always knew he was a bit of a liberal, bu I don't know if I'd go so far as to say that he's anti-corporation or anything along those lines - being in favour of higher corporate / high income taxes does not a tin-foil-hat-wearer make, but I will gladly read any links you want to provide me to prove otherwise.

I doubt 'rilla really wants to know what books I have on my bookshelf but - basically, all old college textbooks that I wasn't able to sell back to the bookstore for anything more than 10 or 15 bucks. The Krugman books I have are "International Economics -Theory & Policy" (which includes an outline of the 'monopolistic competition' model, for which he won the nobel prize in '08) and one older Macroeconomics text I had in my first year of undergrad. Yay me.

lol don't be crazy. My bookshelf is all of my school books, plus books pimped on the Daily Show, plus random stuff I've found at boarders. If you'll admit to reading them, they're certainly worth reading.
