Beautiful Stockholm at night, looking west towards Gamla Stan, with iconic City Hall in the distance, on left, in Kungsholmen. In my previous life, I was definitely born there.

A reminder of why I and my savvy, sensible friends -like @UdenCatherine - push back vs. the serial nonsensical public policy + misanthropy fm #HollywoodFL City Hall, both the City Comm. as well as its often imperious, feckless, highly-paid, thin-skinned bureaucrats.

If Paul Krugman Didn't Exist, Republicans Would Have To Invent Him
By Ralph Benko

Paul Krugman makes for an unparalleled intellectual foil. If he didn’t exist we’d have to invent him. Recently he has been vintage Krugman, slinging derp. 
“Derp” is new slang, or perhaps jargon, with which to ridicule opponents. It is making its wayamong the left wing hipsters, blogsters, and twitsters.
