Stop Lurking Paul Krugman

Sometimes I'm reading essays in major newspapers and have to wonder if they've been reading denialism blog. Today, Krugman on Santorum:

Nor is this only about sex and religion: he has also declared that climate change is a hoax, part of a "beautifully concocted scheme" on the part of "the left" to provide "an excuse for more government control of your life." You may say that such conspiracy-theorizing is hardly unique to Mr. Santorum, but that's the point: tinfoil hats have become a common, if not mandatory, G.O.P. fashion accessory.

I just gave Santorum the tinfoil hat a few days ago!

Is Krugman lurking around here? C'mon Paul. Come out and say hi. Please?

Someone please tell me that that political hemorrhoid, Santorum has finally been raptured!
It has been widely noted that U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, who's in electoral trouble in 2006, has been distancing himself from his old buddies in the ID movement.
Well, this isn't a big surprise: Rick Santorum is writing a foreword to a book…this book, Darwin's Nemesis

um... aren't you lurking on Paul Krugman's page?

I never see Krugman comment anywhere, but it's not hard to get a gauge on who he's reading...

Reading isn't lurking...

Yes it is.

"Lurking is the very common practice of reading an online or e-mail discussion without taking part in the discussion."

You seem awfully defensive, btw, are you secretly an asshurt Paul Krugman?

TylerD Lurking is a chat-room holdover-it has no meaning for any kind of reading material, that's like 'lurking' on a newspaper. And that wouldn't be an attempt at gay-bashing would it?

I thought it was fairly well understood that a blog is just as much a discussion forum as it is a publishing forum.

"And that wouldn't be an attempt at gay-bashing would it?"
