  2. Another day, another fight to get the Bernank down from the crow's nest. Proving, once again, you don't only need a helicopter.

  3. Paul Krugman is such a nerd and he's so awkward, it's not even funny.

  4. I don't know what he's doing. He should realize he was given enough rope to hang himself a long time ago.

  5. Definitely one of Tolkien's dwarfs.

  6. Apparently, he's heaving on a halyard.
    Followed shortly by heaving over the side, I'll wager.
    Obviously non-salty!

  7. Krugman: I will not tolerate an idle boat. Watch me apply some aggregate demand!

    Deckhand: You're destroying the sail, sir.

    Krugman: Foolish unlaureate, it's called stimulus.

  8. He must have been expecting a photo-op, because those are by no means the clothes I would expect to see worn by someone having to do that sort of work.

  10. Captain Ron Paul: "You were sentenced to walk the plank, Professor. You can continue to resist, or you can take your medicine like a man, sir!"

    Of course, our Captain Ron Paul would have the good Professor walk the plank with his bathtub rubber duckie lifering, so as to remain true to his no capital punishment perspective.

  12. Awwwwww....

    Don't humanize him, Wenzel.

    He's kind of cutely awkward here. Not quite cuddly, but if you keep up with it, we might all soon be ordering little Krugman munchkins to ward off the evil bear....

  13. Hilarious comments from all! Let me add one just prior to the photo being taken:

    "Inflation is like the wind, I just don't see it being a problem. In fact, I think lack of wind may be a problem...."
