No, I don't play LoL. The only videogame I've been playing now is Minecraft, though I sort of have to be in the mood to play for more than a few minutes a day. I have my neckbeard sessions- where I'll spend 12 hours on a Sunday digging a 20x20x60 hole- and then most days I won't really play any videogames.
Mazzy, you barely play. You kinda just wander into the vent channel then leave!
You folks are always full up so I play my one game of dominion and head out. I can really only do one game at time because I am pretty much super busy atm. Its my break from grad school work.

That is because you are old whiny men who hate change. Dominion is a fun game, but it is a different game. Different pace, different tactics and a different mentality.
As a Krugman fan, I'd honestly appreciate if someone could point out a specific instance of him bullshitting or being intellectually dishonest.
What do you think Krugman thinks is the optimal response to a recession tied by a zero-bounded interest rate, presuming total and complete control over government policy and its future actions?

Dwarf Fortress is calling you. Give in to the dark side chu.

Increasing demand by way of a sizable federal stimulus program?
@gooey mind if I steal the obsidian to make a netherportal to my old place?
Such a portal already exists and has optimal placement. Please do not make any more. Head into creeper cavern or the concourse portals. Ride the rail to the first stop. Follow the signs.

Ah you must've made it after the map then!
don't we already have a netherportal?
I was going to make one directly to yami's, I missed where DK originally said one already existed (didn't see one on the map either). Go some stuff I had on the other server to move over though. All my chickens are still there too lol.
Is it just me or is the new jobs bill well kinda shitty?
Its not perfect but its better than nothing. Won't go anywhere any ways. Also its bigger than was originally expected out of the Obama white house. Its mediocre, not great but isn't going to cause more damage if it passes.
When Krugman says - well, look, my model makes these correct claims and their models are falsified, those not already in the choir can just trot down to Right-Wing Blog #1 to see a counter-claim saying exactly the inverse, providing quotes from where Krugman was less circumspect and such. So I suspect that this isn't terribly convincing at the margin.
I don't know how to render the relationship between money, consumption, and investment into an appealing form, but it is a relationship that is difficult to intuitively justify except in broadly Keynesian strokes. So is a claim about fiscal stimulus and changes in money base aggregates at the zero bound, but this latter relationship is even more so, and without grabbing hold of one's mental model of the economy there is a perennial tendency to fall back into folk-economics mode.
Basically the models he uses and what has occurred(still low borrowing rates for the US government and no rapid inflation) has shown it is still time to borrow and use that money to increase demand by certain styles of stimulus programs. But if the inverse happened he would have to rework his view on macroeconomics and look for different models to explain how the economy works.
Well, yes, and like I said one can go to any number of blogs to see a counterclaim where a naïve Keynesian model fails to explain some observe empirics and a non-Keynesian model does. There are bluntly no shortage of these, and some of these aren't even from far-right Austrians but his fellow NYTimes bloggers. Naïve models simply don't do well and then one drowns in the details and neither side looks terribly convincing and in marches Glenn Beck and his chalkboard.
One must shift the folk vision of how the economic works and then abandon the finer points, I think.
As proof why Krugman doesn't write the you want, most of the stuff you just stated had my eyes starting to gloss over. I am probably a standard level of economics training in the US. Maybe more than normal since I have to read stuff that occasional talks about it. Krugman basically distills his view both economic and political and post it on a blog to get his point across to the averaging voter as to get them to vote and view the world a specific way in order to influence policy.
Granted. Actually I was mostly attempting to summarize Krugman rather than my own views, in case that got glossed over too much.
I am also thinking about the average voter; my suspicion is that Krugman's approach also leaves a lot of his readers clueless (eyes-glossed?) about his economic intuition, whilst leaving him vulnerable to an approach to counter-argument that the right has become annoyingly adept at: sink you in minutiae and then offer a simple, moralistic vision.

I don't think his does because he describes it in terms though not absolutely scientific or accurate give enough information for the average person to relate to. Intution or belief are easier to relate than advanced models for most people. Also by not stating specific schools which means little to people outside of those who truly research or care but instead stance he sees these groups take and his own counter arguments he gives the normal person a contrast.
His arguments are probably not going to sway anyone who listens to the right wing and agrees with their opinion whole heartedly any ways. His audience is mostly those who would read a blog like this and probably already be leaning his way any ways. I think its basically you want Krugman to be a better apologist using the more focused terms of economics to educate the populous when instead he writes in a way to be a populist leader using economic theory as a background.

I stopped playing again because no one was ever around to play with.
