Republicans coming around to reality? Bullshit.


The rightwing blogosphere reports that Paul Krugman's advocating a top tax bracket of 91%. Not surprisingly, that's BS. Show me where he says that. All the wingnuts have managed to do is to demonstrate their rock-bottom reading comprehension skills. And, by the way, Krugman's right.
