Krugman gets it
“To divine the course of world events, you’d do as well to probe the entrails of dead animals. Better still, ask your hairstylist.” — Andrew J. Bacevich on Robert Kagan’s “The World America Made”
“The new American Dream is to get to be very rich and still be regarded as a victim.” — Charles Simic, The Monster Loves His Labyrinth: Notebooks

“But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.” — John Maynard Keynes

The booming and shaking continues in Clintonville. Clintonville police say they received about 65 calls Tuesday night, from people reporting three or four loud booms. Officials say the calls came in from 10:35 until 11:40 p.m. Authorities say the reports came from the same part of the city that has been experiencing the booms for more than a week, but there were also some reports farther west, including Clinton Avenue. Several callers told police that these booms were stronger than those from last week, but no damage has been reported. City officials have been in contact with the U.S. Geological Survey about the latest booms. City Administrator Lisa Kuss says she called them last night when the booms were reported, she says she plans to touch base with them again Wednesday morning. Kuss is reminding Clintonville residents to stay patient during this time. Last week, officials confirmed a magnitude 1.5 earthquake hit the city. We’ll continue to monitor the situation, and will have updates all morning on Good Day Wisconsin.
