Keeping Kool with Krugman, recalling FDR who faced a bigger threat

[Mark Kohut]

I could FEEL the fear mongering yesterday.....i have a cold...not
doing any work because (at moment)....read news and turned on
TV to hear Obama---terrif q &  a and speech, imho---THOSE QUESTIONS
from the press core....disgraceful (after the first)..
Andrea Mitchell....false, willfully or blindly false......then the Others......

Yes, I had reverberations of post-9/11 wars but now, I mostly felt
those long sections in ATD where Pynchon so magnificently
works the drumbeats of WW1 war into the text....
