Oh man, does mentioning the name of famous people or parties count as partisan now? How exactly would you like your news?
"A party tried to vote on a bill today. A leader of that party said it was a good idea."
Since HN is targeted at the startup crowd, many of whom hope to become or are already wealthy, this seems applicable. Doubly so, since Krugman is pointing out that the financial industry is using a false association with productive rich people to cloak their behavior. If the hammer end up falling anyway, Silicon Valley might be wishing that Wall Street didn't drag their name down into the mud alongside their own.
