Fine with me, if American Liberals get donations from such a prestigous organization.

And Congrats to Krugman. He IS at least, a true economist....

The only real Nobel Prize I had a problem with, was giving the Peace Prize to Arrarat....

But Nobel provides both prestige, and a nice financial reward for all kinds of scientific minds, and that is where I think they do their best duty....

Politicians, etc., usually have all kinds of money, but economists, college professors, chemists, physicists, etc., should have good finanical rewards and recognition as well. Hell, they probably deserve it more....
