Funny. Thank you for making my day. I bet it ticks off Krugman that people believed it.
There’s a difference between satire and a hoax. Satire is supposed to be obvious if you are moderately intelligent. A hoax is a phony story claiming something that is believable in an effort to fool people into that belief, whether for financial gain or just to get your jollies. This story was a hoax. A guy like Krugman, living in NY and getting into a certain lifestyle, could easily end up in bankruptcy. The Palin story was obvious satire, because anyone with half a brain would know that Sarah Palin would never work for Al Jazeera. I wonder if someone wasn’t deliberately trying to trip up Breitbart, as payback.
That part is true.
You would have thought that Breitbart would have checked it out before posting. CNN, yes, ABC and CBS yes, but Breitbart?
Not satire -Krugman is going bankrupt.
Satire - In his NYT opinion piece on Sunday, Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman called on the Federal Reserve to bail out financially ailing Nobel laureates.
In a related story Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman declared bankruptcy Monday morning.
“All the news we can cut and paste!”
Krugman will never be broke as long as he as a job with Princeton University.
I don’t know about that.
The article was posted at blogrunner.com where Krugman’s posts get published owed by the New York Times which I ahve provided by the first link and the second link has the story of Krugman discussing his bankruptcy.
Let me know if you still think it’s a hoax.

The “satire” didn’t begin until the fifth paragraph. And the first 4 were so boring there was no incentive to read on.
