Really, though, is anyone truly surprised by this information? The Post’s T.W.

Paul Krugman: You Anti-Government Folks Are To Blame For State/Local Money Problems

If it’s a day ending in a “y”, it must be a day where an inside the beltway mentality liberal is making an absurd argument, casting blame, naming problems, but, unable to provide any rationale for his/her solutions.

Hypocritic Democrats Today: Kerry Avoids Paying Taxes (plus open thread)
