From Adriane, at Patterico:

Paul Krugman is a good source of information in economics. He predicted 9 out of the last 3 recessions.

    Sadly, she’s recycling. I believe that quote was originally directed at Nouriel Roubini, about whom it’s even more apt.

    A minor clarification: the first time I heard the phrase used, it was about Roubini, but I’m betting it’s been around a lot longer than that.

    Traces back at least to 2006, and probably much earlier.

    Still funny, though. :)

    OK, this is weird. That comment of mine at #3 was showing up correctly earlier today. I have no idea why it changed.
