Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who pundits as a New York Times columnist, alighted in Austin this week to keynote a Texas Observer awards ceremony. (He liked his breakfast, too.)
Krugman's touch-down reminded us he's got a mixed, tending to True, record on the Truth-O-Meter (items compiled to the right).

Skepticism is always good, right?
