The Cavalry Arrives

Krugman

The above is, of course, a reference to Paul Krugman's increasingly-absurd comments on government spending. Krugman calls for a fake alien invasion here.

The increasing absurdity of Krugman's comments even prompted a Google Plus parody account to post:

People on twitter might be joking, but in all seriousness, we would see a bigger boost in spending and hence economic growth if the earthquake had done more damage.

The sad part is that a suggestion such as the above is not completely beyond Krugman and many people believed the account to be Krugman's own.

Classic fail. You know that thing where if all the letters are in the word but they're jumbled your brain autocorrects and you can still read it? Like this:

Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

I'm going to blame this on that XD (but still fix it right now).

Thanks Bonnie. I didn't catch that at all. As a grammar freak, I am most ashamed.
