I was on the Upper West Side yesterday, and you had to walk carefully to avoid the teeming masses of people trying to get you to sign up to get Eliot Spitzer on the ballot for comptroller. And it looks as if the effort succeeded.

I'm fairly certain I could "discount what he's about to say" even without this information.

Or as the wise economic sage Billy Preston wrote, "Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin' " (Yes indeed!)
[It would appear Mr. Preston is far more qualified for a Noble...]
Interesting. In an attempt to be facetious, Krugman believes we get the joke. Obviously he is now so far removed from reality that he does not realize the joke is on him.
