The pdf isn't political. Posting a pdf with the heading "Obama's Economic Adviser knows "Rockonomics". is political. I didn't bring politics to Phish.net, the person who originally posted the article did. If the writer weren't Obama's economic adviser this article wouldn't have been posted. If the title of the link didn't have Obama's name in it wouldn't have been posted. I didn't see Phish anywhere in the article or pdf. This is Phish.net.

Krueger is in the news because he was just appointed as the chair of the White House council of economic advisors. That's obviously how the OP found out about the paper, so it makes sense to mention it in passing. If saying Obama's name exactly ONCE in a post about something else makes you fly into a rage, that sounds like a personal problem.

Do you honestly think this comment section would have had anything to do with politics had you not almost singlehandedly derailed it? I looove that you're now acting all conciliatory after your first three posts in this thread, in order: (1) insulted the OP, (2) insulted the OP again, and (3) compared Obama to Kim Jong-Il. But you aren't here "to trade insults!" Gosh no, you were just looking for a low-key, rational discussion and everyone jumped on you!

Either you are a troll or you've got personal problems of your own to deal with. Either way, I'm wasting my time in this thread.
