    To the Draft Krugman for Treasury Crew

    I love all y'all, and I love Krugman, but it aint gonna happen. (Well-deserved) Nobel Prize or no, as Confucius pointed out, the market reaction would be severe, and whether we like it or not, the selection of Treasury Secretary is much more geared towards who the markets will be comfortable with than what the impact will be on regular folk. The leftist in me (and the Facebook Paul Krugman Fan Club member in me) would love to see PK, or Robert Reich, appointed, but it's gonna be Geithner or Summers, and the more markets keep tanking like they are, the more likely it'll probably be Summers.

    Again, I say this in the spirit of love and peace. I'm a fellow fan, just keepin' it real here...
