The comments to this column are wonderful. People are begging him NOT to retire from blogging in the NYT.

Going to Krugman's weekday column and reading his blog is one of my great pleasures. I don't understand all of his charts but when he's less wonkish he's just delightful.

Sigh.

1. The way I read it he is retiring from teaching. He's still with the NYT

Or did I miss something.

2. He didn't really address that. I'm hoping that if anything he'll be freed up to do more

blogging. Elsewhere I read that he does the blog as an extra. It's not a requirement as a columnist. He does it on his own time, so t speak. I like to read his column in the NYT and then go to his blog online.

3. Oh no. He turned the whole thing around and saved

the West from the GOP. I will miss him terribly.

4. I think he just retired from teaching full time...I think he has some time to go on his

contract with the NYT as one of their columnists. Plus, he'll probably produce more books. His wife is his editor and they work well together. I saw her interviewed and she is delightful and also an economist. She's also a very pretty African American woman...was his former student...

5. Oh thank you. What a relief.

6. I hope I'm right on that...

7. Good. Wow, I was scared there for a minute.

8. Would miss him terribly. A sane voice it this crazy world.
