He seems to have made use of Douthat's absences lately to start a fine run of form, spitting fire in a rather impressive manner. It's just a newspaper column, but Krugman is doing just about as much as he can. The fact that he's doing so at the expense of Douthat's column inches makes it all the sweeter.Marinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492009758043047531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-58954826387418537742010-09-13T18:06:12.235-04:002010-09-13T18:06:12.235-04:00The simple answer is this: many years ago I fell ...The simple answer is this: many years ago I fell asleep at the wheeel, drove off the road, and would have been killed had it not been for a fortunate green verge. The Sleep specialist to whom I went, after many tests, told me that I was not getting enough REM sleep because my facial twitches during sleep jolted me to less deep levels of sleep. She told me to stop drinking caffeinated cofee, which was rather difficult, but which I did. Ever since, I have drunk decaf, which, made from beans, is really as good in taste as regular coffee. It seemed like a small sacrifice to stay alive.Robert Paul Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970360952872431856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-40072466697166359552010-09-13T17:06:57.190-04:002010-09-13T17:06:57.190-04:00What's the point of drinking decaf coffee?
