#1 In other news today, authorities announced the bizarre discovery that several hundred Americans have mysteriously died from what can only be described as terminal constipation. The victims were geographically scattered, but the pattern seemed centered upon large East Coast cities.

Another shocking aspect is that all of the victims appear to be economists or former economists currently on book and lecture tours or writing for newspapers. Common Sense News has learned that, at least in several cases, the victims had left crude messages scrawled in excrement - apparently with their fingers.

There are conflicting accounts, as no journalists have been allowed to examine the evidence, but the message was remarkably similar in all known such cases. It appears that the victim wrote "[unintelligible] is an flaming asshole.", a wryly macabre phrase, under the circumstances. Law Enforcement who have witnessed the scenes are in dispute, but Common Sense News has learned that the first word is generally agreed to be either "Keynes" or "Krugman".

Developing.

Besides one being dead, how can you tell the difference?
