I think it's because PK [Paul Krugman] has seen his job as being the defender of the "middle," the establishmentarian Truth, trashing the nuts of the left (like Robert Reich) and right. Then, the country shifted dramatically to the right, so that there are no relevant lefties to critique. Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] & http://bellarmine.lmu.edu/~jdevine
