Paul Krugman is the James Cramer of opinion writing.
Always wrong, but never in doubt, Krugman’s shtick is to tell liberals exactly what they want to hear and slap the credibility of a Nobel Prizewinner’s credential on top of whatever the fashionable opinion of the day is.
So let me be the first to wish Krugman well as he rides off into the sunset. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass, Paul.
This is a real loss for the moron community. https://t.co/iYSFTFguPY

The Time’s announcement that Krugman is leaving is a good reminder of just how arrogant both Krugman and the Times really are. They are treating his departure as a major cultural moment, as did Krugman himself when he wrote his first column.
I want to take you back to Jan. 2, 2000, a day when Y2K was in the rearview mirror and the dot-com bubble…
