Someone started a fake Paul Krugman account on Google+ (whatever that is) and posted something that wished for more earthquake damage and, subsequently, more spending to repair the damage.
And everyone from The Washington Examiner's Conn Carroll to Jonah Goldberg thought it was the real Krugman. I mean, Goldberg totally riffed on Twitter about it. He sooo totally wanted it to be the real Krugman, he didn't even bother to think that perhaps no one in their right mind would ever seriously say something so awful...
...Except...
I wonder if any of them remember how the neocons at the Project for a New American Century fantasized about another "Pearl Harbor event" that might instigate an invasion of Iraq.
But that's okay because of evildoers and Bush Was Right and Lee Greenwood and Bring 'Em On.
