NEOCON CHUTZPAH OVER TARGETTED ASSASSINATIONS

All the speakers were very interesting, except one who drove me crazy.
Who drove me crazy? David Brenner. He drove me crazy because he began his
presentation by emphasizing uncertainty in our understanding of radiation
effects.
I agree that there is considerable uncertainty in predicting risk, not
simply because our knowledge is limited and contested but also because
radiation effects are mediated by age, general health, diet, vector of
exposure (e.g., internal versus external), cummulative body burden,
synergistic effects from other carcinogens in the environment, etc.

An important understanding is taking hold, that the road to unwind
Keynesian economics travels through Say’s Law. Keynes himself could not
have been clearer about the significance of Say’s Law to the entire
structure of his argument. Keynes emphasized, over and over again, in *The
General Theory* (*TGT*) that he was reversing the conclusions of those who
believed Say’s Law to be true.* Thus, there are two things that need to be
done if you are going to refute Keynes. First, you have to know what Say’s
Law is. Then you have to show it is valid.

Paul Ryan's Roadmap Leaves Seniors Even Further Behind

Paul Ryan announced Sunday that his new budget-- which is destined to again
go nowhere-- will be premised on repealing Obamacare. Apparently he wasn't
paying attention to the votes in November. Though Romney picked Ryan to
communicate the GOP position on Obamacare to voters-- and to bring in upper
Midwest states-- voters were clear that they preferred Obamacare over GOP
Austerity. And Romney-Ryan lost every single upper Midwest state, including
Ryan's home state of Wisconsin. Even in Ryan's own carefully gerrymandered
congressional district, Romney only managed a tiny 51.6% victory... more »

Plans vs. Talking Points

I think Glenn Kessler gets maybe two things right in his column this

One is that there are times when a fact checker is better off just backing
off and explaining a story without needing to award "Pinocchios" or
whatever. The other is that there is, in fact, a difference between
partisan talking points and a real, operative, policy commitment. At issue
here is whether the White House has a "plan" to replace sequestration, and
Kessler is right that "[I]n Washington, there are real plans and faux

familiar with.
The second type is better described as enhanced dreaming. I also think that
