Still waiting for Krugman's signature on "An Open Letter to Arthur Sulzberger, Jr."

Here's the link. Come on. Isn't cutting pension benefits for Times employees so that a departing CEO can get a big bonus just a little much?

I'm over my quota at Izvestia, but if anybody else wants to raise this question in comments on Krugman's blog, that would be great.

NOTE I accept that Krugman's been out of town, but that was the 8th, and this is the 11th.

Bread 'n' Butter

By Alcuin on Wed, 01/11/2012 - 5:33pm

Krugman knows which side his bread is buttered on. He's a liberal, for crying out loud. He's not going to upset the NYT liberal apple cart.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Duck Pit

The origin of the term is obscure; everyone talks about the duck pit, but nobody ever says where it is, what it is, or how the people destined for it will get there. Believed to be a Babylon 5 reference, however. Usage example: Aux duck pits, citoyens I found this at Orcinus: "Some liberal commenters, for instance, on certain threads I read have devised, satirically, a "duck pit" into which all conservative minions will be cast on the day of liberal reckoning, there to be nibbled to death by a thousand hungry ducks." If I remember correctly, it originated in comments at Atrios, as a response to violent threats by Right Wing trolls. Sometimes sillines and absurdity are are a good antidote for hatred.
