OK, the power is still out at home — but over on Route 1, civilization, plus even a signal (I have Verizon’s internet anywhere, which is actually anywhere except where I live).

So, while the battery lasts: Alan is a fine choice as chief economic adviser. He’s done excellent work, he’s a really good guy, whom I know pretty well, since we keep getting each others’ mail.

Now the question is whether anyone in the administration listens to him

Good to hear...

I trust Krugman on these issues. Now as he correctly points out, we've got to cross our fingers and hope that he actually gets anyone to listen to him.

And I must say, he's kind of good looking, too.
