bad news, good news

And now, from the real New York Times, the next fucking terrifying threat to civilization as we know it:

U.N. Report Sees New Pollution Threat.

The good news:

Princeton economist, New York Times columnist, Nobel laureate, and beardy icon Paul Krugman, who was one of Obama's most incisive critics in the Democratic primary battles (mostly because of his relatively moderate healthcare plan), wrote today that "there’s now a reasonable chance that universal health care will be enacted next year!" Krugman says he hears that "Obama's opposition to mandates was tactical politics," but that he may support a new bill afoot for universal healthcare!

We're gonna need it once those killer brown clouds start showing up.
