Also – I wonder if Bibulus might be Latin for Lieberman…

Krugman doesn’t tell the whole story.Bibulus was one of the consuls (like prime minister/president, and there were always 2) during Caesar’s first consulship. Romans kept track of years by who the consuls were, as in: “such and such took place during the consulship of Caesar and Bibulus.”Bibulus, a lifelong foe of Caesar and his faction, declared that he was going to study omens in order to stop Caesar from getting anything done legislatively as Krugman notes. Not just on one law, but several over the course of the year.Caesar, being Pontifex Maximus and more popular than Obama was on 1/20/09, proceeded to ignore him and acted unilaterally.The Roman sense of humor rendered that year as “the Consulship of Julius and Caesar”
Sounds like Krugman has found the perfect prescription for getting rid of ugly warts like Joe Lieberman.The omens are favorable for Lieberman to bugger off to oblivion.If he doesn’t cut the crap, well…perhaps the crap should cut him.
