I notice Krugman is often mocked but the substance of his arguments is rarely attacked. He has pointed out several times now that if we are suffering a gov’t debt crises interest rates seem oddly low. He also validly points out that many people talking about a crises of gov’t debt are, for some inexplicable reason, pretty top heavy on US treasury bonds in the portfolios that they manage.

Speaking of RNC purity, RNC chairman Michael Steel made a fool of himself again today after the RNC’s website declared opposition to abortion a matter of defending human life, he had to explain why the health care plan the RNC offers to full time employees covers elective abortions.
Before I’d die I’d like to help bring “Kinsley’s Rule” as common a meme as Godwin’s Law. Coined by Michael Kinsley in the stem cell debate, it basically goes like this. People who make hyperbolic moral claims but don’t act as if they are true can and should be dismissed. from serious discussion.

Follow the link and you hear about a major supporter of climate change changing his mind in reaction to the emails. Follow the link provided to the blog from this person and he ‘reproduces’ an email that sounds like a take off on the Protocols of Zion:
Leading me to suspect this is satire which the climate skeptic took up as serous. But if he thought this was serious, well he’s pretty dumb which leads me to suspect the person hyping this as a loss for climate change is simply dishonest.

Liberal anger, Mr Obama and the Asian “tour.”
Excuse me, what did we ‘get’ over the last 8 years from China and Iran in terms of respect for human rights that we aren’t ‘getting’ now? The debate over China was settled not even in Clinton’s time but Bush I’s when the call was made (with very vocal Republican support) to grant China most favored nation trading status and delink economic relations from human rights.
OK too many posts tonight….
