On his blog this morning, Krugman took a break from his hiking vacation to call out the "Unethical Commentary":

There are multiple errors and misrepresentations in Niall Ferguson’s cover story in Newsweek — I guess they don’t do fact-checking — but this is the one that jumped out at me. Ferguson says: "The president pledged that health-care reform would not add a cent to the deficit. But the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation now estimate that the insurance-coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of close to $1.2 trillion over the 2012–22 period."

Readers are no doubt meant to interpret this as saying that CBO found that the Act will increase the deficit. But anyone who actually read, or even skimmed, the CBO report (pdf) knows that it found that the ACA would reduce, not increase, the deficit — because the insurance subsidies were fully paid for.

Ferguson came back with a quibbling rebuttal: "But I very deliberately said 'the insurance coverage provisions of the ACA,' not 'the ACA.' There is a big difference." To which Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider scoffed, "So Ferguson's response was: Well, the spending/insurance portion of the Affordable Care Act did increase the deficit, and I was only referring to the spending side. I wasn't referring to the whole thing ... Niall Ferguson's defense is that he was being very obtuse and misleading."

Economist Brad DeLong is even harsher with regards to the ACA claim:

Fire his ass. Fire his ass from Newsweek, and the Daily Beast. Convene a committee at Harvard to examine whether he has the moral character to teach at a university. There is a limit, somewhere. And Ferguson has gone beyond it.

And that's just one minor point — it's only the very beginning. Ferguson's own Newsweek colleague Andrew Sullivan calls his "old and good friend" out for his "glaring omissions" and "sleight of hand." Sullivan promises, "More to come. The piece is sadly so ridden with errors and elisions and non-sequiturs it will require a few more posts."

At The Atlantic, and with the searing headline "As a Harvard Alum, I Apologize," James Fallows writes, "A tenured professor of history at my undergraduate alma mater has written a cover story for Daily Beast/Newsweek that is so careless and unconvincing that I wonder how he will presume to sit in judgment of the next set of student papers he has to grade."

FIC-TION-AL CHARACTERS

The Col: Is this some tech from "The Bionic woman"??

<<<< Note to those who thought that program was real>>>>

Is this guy really that dumb????, or a deliberate liar???

"Well it's well documented and some races have been won via voter fraud. "

It's always race first!?!

The text of the purported Israeli cabinet memo is just that, text. There is no document as such and thus it is impossible to verify if it is indeed an Israeli cabinet paper of some kind. But its purpose for Richard Silverstein is clear. He believes it was passed by a serving officer to the politician and then leaked by him precisely to alert the outside world to the scale of Israel's military plan to strike at Iran and thus to reduce the chances of it ever happening.

An unprecedented public debate is under way in Israel on the wisdom of launching an attack against Iran. And this leaked document, whatever its source, and whatever its original purpose, has become an element in that debate.

The document itself is striking in both the scale and scope of the military operation that it proposes. It also employs a range of technologies, many of which we have known that the Israelis are developing, but this document suggests that they are battle-ready and fully operational.

Jonathan Marcus BBC Diplomatic Correspondent

This war.. Hooh, what is it good for.. absolutely nothing.

500 Israeli dead and leaking nuclear reactors.. Iranian civilians dead or contaminated (Mutagens being a higher death category then straight forward death) .. cancer, radiation poisoning and the unborn kids..

... Sorry, I forgot. They are not American so they don't count.

Conservatism showing it's hypocritical.....

rod03801: ... wow.. but it has.

.. Get a clue.

NIMBY's

The Col: Never is. But, I think over 50% should be required to actually be a valid election. If they bore the people.. they don't get in.

In 2007, a report prepared by the staff of the federal Election Assistance Commission found that, among experts, "there is widespread but not unanimous agreement that there is little polling place fraud".[22] The report was based on research conducted by Job Serebov, Republican elections lawyer, and Tova Wang, voting expert from the Century Foundation.[22]

The final version released to the public, however, stated that there was "a great deal of debate on the pervasiveness of fraud."[22] Democrats charged that the commission, with a Republican majority, had altered the conclusion for political reasons, which the commission denied.[22] During the George W. Bush administration, "The [Department of Justice] devoted unprecedented resources to ferreting out polling-place fraud over five years and appears to have found not a single prosecutable case across the country," Slate reported.[23]

The Democratic Party fought the voter identification laws, calling them the GOP war on Voting and a return of Jim Crow disenfranchisement. Civil rights groups were vocal about the laws, saying they disproportionately hurt blacks and Latinos.[24] According to another report commissioned by the Election Assistance Commission, one effect of voter identification laws is lower turnout, especially among members of minorities.[22]

On June 23, 2012, Pennsylvania's Speaker of the House, Republican Mike Turzai stated that Pennsylvania's recent voter identification law would "allow Governor [Mitt] Romney to win Pennsylvania"[25] in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election.[26][27]
Studies

In 1978 the Mormons changed their official position of the mark of Cain... Why??

Power, loss of members, loss of position.

rod03801: I never said it was racist.. it's about loss of power by a certain group of people.

Like those in Northern Ireland who were against the Peace talks. They were white fighting white. Peace meant less power.

It is THAT simple, so why complicate it!!

The irony of the GOP-sponsored voter I.D. laws to address phony, non-existent "voter fraud" is that the GOP completely ignores the ballot box frauds of 2000 (Florida, which allowed G.W. Bush to take the White House--with a little help from the extreme right-wing judicial activists on the Supreme Court) and of 2004 (the state of Ohio which had some districts reporting voter results for Bush five times that actual registered voters)--all occurring under Republican state attorneys-general.

In the final analysis, we must simply acknowledge the sad truth of the GOP: it is not just the diminishing of white Protestant voters that is reducing the GOP to permanent minority-party status. It is the utter lack of reasonable, sane, sensible public officials as candidates for public office in the GOP. What the GOP now offers are rabid, irrational ideologues serving gerrymandered voting districts who have no sane, sensible, rational policy proposals to address the serious problems that face our nation--much of those problems having been caused by the GOP in the first place.

What is the solution for the GOP? There is none, really. It is the last bastion of a dying, evangelical, Protestant, religious extremism that has interfered in American politics like wing-nut gadflys since the New Deal but only gaining influence and a guarded "respectability" with the rise of Ronald Reagan and his insincere pandering to what is now regarded as the GOP's "base".

It is irrelevant that this "base" now controls The House. Its control is temporary.

Such ideology as currently expounded by the Republican Party adherents cannot be sustained if the GOP wishes to be a majority party that wins elections based on the quality of its candidates' characters and/or the policy proposals that would address all Americans' concerns for our country and its future.

Short of a coup d'etat or a second civil war--which the current GOP's leadership and rank-and-file have insidiously courted as "alternatives" to the election of Democratic Party candidates to the White House and Congress--the GOP will slowly whither away.

What must be guarded against is that in the GOP's death throws that it does not do more harm than it has already done to our democratic-republican form of government or our national institutions.

When George W. Bush’s narrowly won reelection in 2004, not a single American state had a law requiring voters to present photographic identification at the polls. Today about 10 states, with 134 electoral votes among them, have enacted such laws—all at the prompting of Republicans.

Republicans are not responding to a newly discovered crisis in voter impersonation at the polls, but to a partisan crisis brought on by their party’s declining base of white Protestant voters. If the GOP can’t grow its own voter base, it can at least hope to shrink the Democrats’ base.

Photo-identification laws are targeted heavily at Democratic minority voters, who are significantly less likely than whites to possess the required identifications. A reduction in the votes of racial minorities relative to the votes of reliably Republican white Protestants benefits the GOP. In an unguarded moment, Pennsylvania’s state House majority leader, Republican Mike Turzai, said that his state’s newly enacted photo-identification law “is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.” In a response to a lawsuit challenging the law, the state’s attorneys admitted that they were “not aware of any incidents of in-person voter fraud.” Impartial studies have reached similar conclusions about voter impersonation across the nation.

In contrast to voter fraud, the decline of the Republican’s base vote is real and pervasive. America is no longer a white Protestant nation. Until the late-20th century, white Protestants had composed the majority of Americans and the overwhelmingly majority of voters. That white Protestant majority has since disappeared. Fewer than 40 percent of all Americans today are white and Protestant, though the group, which tends to be older and more likely to vote, is usually overrepresented at the polls.

The percentage of white Protestants among voters will continue to slide as America becomes increasingly non-white. The big states of Texas and California are already majority non-white and all of America is likely to follow suit before mid-century according to US Census projections. Hispanics, the nation’s largest minority group, are increasingly gaining citizenship and voting. African American voter turnout now closely approximates that of whites.

The dependence of the Republican Party on white Protestant voters is deeply rooted in the party’s history. The modern Republican Party took shape in the 1920s out of a widespread concern that secular, pluralistic, and cosmopolitan forces threatened America’s national identity as a white Protestant nation. At the core of conservative politics both in the 1920s and today is the ideal of America as a unified nation that upholds traditional white Protestant values.

White Protestant voters overwhelmingly backed Republican candidates in the early 20th century, with the exception of the South, which was solidly opposed to the party of Lincoln until later in the 20th century. Racial and religious divisions in voting remain pervasive today, far overshadowing divisions of gender or class. And white Protestants are still overwhelmingly Republican. In 2004, according to exit polls, George W. Bush won two thirds of the white Protestant vote, but only about 11 percent of the African-American vote, 44 percent of the Hispanic vote, and 25 percent of the Jewish vote. In 2008, John McCain won 65 percent of the white Protestant vote, but only about 5 percent of the African-American vote, 31 percent of the Hispanic vote, and 21 percent of the Jewish vote. Republican support among evangelical, white Protestants has been especially impressive, with Bush winning 79 percent and McCain 73 percent.

UK voter ID... Voting card sent to address of person as registered on the electoral roll. It is an offence not register under an 1918 act.

In practice, Roman society was hierarchical.[2][3] The evolution of the Constitution of the Roman Republic was heavily influenced by the struggle between Rome's land-holding aristocracy (the patricians), who traced their ancestry back to the early history of the Roman kingdom, and the far more numerous citizen-commoners, the plebeians. Over time, the laws that gave Patricians exclusive rights to Rome's highest offices were repealed or weakened, and a new aristocracy emerged from among the plebeian class. The leaders of the Republic developed a strong tradition and morality requiring public service and patronage in peace and war, meaning that military and political success were inextricably linked. During the first two centuries of its existence the Republic expanded through a combination of conquest and alliance, from central Italy to the entire Italian peninsula. By the following century it included North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Greece, and what is now southern France. Two centuries after that, towards the end of the 1st century BC, it included the rest of modern France, and much of the east. By this time, despite the Republic's traditional and lawful constraints against any individual's acquisition of permanent political powers, Roman politics was dominated by a small number of Roman leaders, their uneasy alliances punctuated by a series of civil wars.

The final victor in these civil wars, Octavian (later Augustus), reformed the Republic as a Principate, with himself as Rome's "first citizen" (princeps). The Senate continued to sit and debate. Annual magistrates were elected as before, but final decisions on matters of policy, warfare, diplomacy and appointments were privileged to the princeps as "first among equals" (or imperator due to the holding of imperium, from which the term emperor is derived). His powers were monarchic in all but name, and he held them for his lifetime, on behalf of the Senate and people of Rome. The Roman Republic was never restored, but neither was it abolished, so the event that signaled its transition to Roman Empire is a matter of interpretation. Historians have variously proposed the appointment of Julius Caesar as perpetual dictator in 44 BC, the defeat of Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, and the Roman Senate's grant of extraordinary powers to Octavian (Augustus) under the first settlement in 27 BC, as candidates for the defining pivotal event ending the Republic.

I Claudius for those who've never heard of it

The BBC won awards for their TV version

The Col: Party endorsed vote rigging... We have had times when some MP constituencies have been 'resized' or split because of population increases, but that has been pretty much it. N' it's been agreed by the parties and voted on... Then their is the public view.. Guess our liberalism pays in a good state education system... Even Catholic/N' other 'faith' schools are obliged to teach the national curriculum.

I guess we're just more 'awake' over here to what is a con... having a free press also helps ... and some who work in government who still have a conscience

Up to 30 people including dairy farmers have blockaded a Muller factory in Shropshire. The Market Drayton protest, organised by Farmers for Action, is part of a campaign to get a better deal on the price they are paid for their milk.

Tractors and trailers blocked two entrances on Friday evening.

A Farmers for Action spokesman said it expected to blockade the site until 02:00 or 03:00 BST on Saturday depending on negotiations with Muller.

About 20 or 30 people were estimated to be involved, BBC reporter Kate Tebby said. Farmer Paul Rowbottom, from Farmers for Action, described the action as a "gentle reminder".

He said: "People are going to go bust. They're getting paid about 25p a litre and it's costing 31p a litre to produce it. "All the supermarkets and dairies have got to get the price back to the farmer. There would be a 24-hour shutdown in the future if they don't come and give us the money.

"We'll just keep going one by one [with protests] until they get the message."

The Col: We are lucky in the UK, the extremes have to act responsibly regarding what they say or find themselves in court. The UK practices responsible free speech

We also have laws that require those who spin bull to apologise.

The Col: America seems to be unique I guess, as having fought a cold war while living a cold civil war at the same time. It's crazy. If it doesn't change then it could end up with another civil war or at the least some major riots.

The media is just one of the interested groups, and you are right.. the politicians are not stopping it. The money involved and as such 'liquid assets' is too big.

"but now both make me ill with their childish "gotcha" garbage.I long for the days when journalists just report the facts"

Reading between the lines seems to be a needed skill these days I go to the Independent or Guardian if I need more in depth.. less bull

Is it because....

The President had to ASK to have his birth certificate sent to him. Haywain state law required the President to ask for the state records to be released,

... He is still bound by law... but that's illogical!!

To say, it's not a fake and then it is possible it is a fake...

.. as stated is pandering to paranoia and is part of the problem with the USA

mckinley: Yes, but they make it a moral issue by using GOD!! A few good misquotes out of the Bible and they are putty in the hands of the politicians. The Church doesn't care as it gets nice crisp notes in it's donation plates, and a guarantee of a job for life.

He might win over the teabag vote, but it might also drive away the moderates and undecided.

''My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better.'' ~

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, arguing against government food assistance for poor residents.

The Col: Lots of things are not 'Kosher' .. who cares. I like Judaism, it's handy for good Bible interpretation rather than the crackpot neo con version.. which is only a young man made up ideology.

The Col: Aye.. strategic is the main thing. It's not about "Jerusalem" or the Jews, but being able to justify billions of dollars of military gifts and the ability to keep a force in the area. From what I've seen the Jews consider the Christians that go help as 'unclean'.

The Col: It basically shows the conservative attitude towards religion.

It's a tool to them, a method to control the people, nothing more.

The Col:

"I don't approve of religion.. it is a sign of psychological weakness. I regard it as evil"

Yeah... I can see that going down well in the Bible belt......NOT

“Clinging to any form of conservatism can be dangerous. Become too conservative and you are unprepared for surprises. You cannot depend on luck. Logic is blind and often knows only its own past. Logic is good for playing chess but is often too slow for the needs of survival.”

"I look at it this way... For centuries now, man has done everything he can to destroy, defile, and interfere with nature: clear-cutting forests, strip-mining mountains, poisoning the atmosphere, over-fishing the oceans, polluting the rivers and lakes, destroying wetlands and aquifers... so when nature strikes back, and smacks him on the head and kicks him in the nuts, I enjoy that. I have absolutely no sympathy for human beings whatsoever. None. And no matter what kind of problem humans are facing, whether it's natural or man-made, I always hope it gets worse."

Till the rubbing ends, male/female don't make any difference. In America with the way it is socially.. a woman is gonna have to rub more to get more out of the system!!

Dear Rep. Paul Ryan,

Welcome to Georgetown University. We appreciate your willingness to talk about how Catholic social teaching can help inform effective policy in dealing with the urgent challenges facing our country. As members of an academic community at a Catholic university, we see your visit on April 26 for the Whittington Lecture as an opportunity to discuss Catholic social teaching and its role in public policy.

However, we would be remiss in our duty to you and our students if we did not challenge your continuing misuse of Catholic teaching to defend a budget plan that decimates food programs for struggling families, radically weakens protections for the elderly and sick, and gives more tax breaks to the wealthiest few. As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has wisely noted in several letters to Congress – “a just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons.” Catholic bishops recently wrote that “the House-passed budget resolution fails to meet these moral criteria.”

In short, your budget appears to reflect the values of your favorite philosopher, Ayn Rand, rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her call to selfishness and her antagonism toward religion are antithetical to the Gospel values of compassion and love.

Cuts to anti-hunger programs have devastating consequences. Last year, one in six Americans lived below the official poverty level and over 46 million Americans – almost half of them children – used food stamps for basic nutrition. We also know how cuts in Pell Grants will make it difficult for low-income students to pursue their educations at colleges across the nation, including Georgetown. At a time when charities are strained to the breaking point and local governments have a hard time paying for essential services, the federal government must not walk away from the most vulnerable.

While you often appeal to Catholic teaching on “subsidiarity” as a rationale for gutting government programs, you are profoundly misreading Church teaching. Subsidiarity is not a free pass to dismantle government programs and abandon the poor to their own devices. This often misused Catholic principle cuts both ways. It calls for solutions to be enacted as close to the level of local communities as possible. But it also demands that higher levels of government provide help -- “subsidium”-- when communities and local governments face problems beyond their means to address such as economic crises, high unemployment, endemic poverty and hunger. According to Pope Benedict XVI: "Subsidiarity must remain closely linked to the principle of solidarity and vice versa.”

Along with this letter, we have included a copy of the Vatican's Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, commissioned by John Paul II, to help deepen your understanding of Catholic social teaching.

The Col: No, I agree.. but it makes it easier to sell such an idea, rather than it been said it's yet another government intrusion!!

The Col: Tithing.. The Christians should be all for it!!

The Col: It helps to weed out the worst of them.

... AS to the "flash".. It is reported that this "flash" is costing about 6 billion dollars, UK parties would take over 120 elections to spend that much.

Couldn't they all just agree not to advertise so much and give the money to community projects? It strikes me, to be a waste of money.

9 11 victim's son owns Bill O'Reilly

I like the statement towards the end that because O'Reilly has such a recorded of being crazy and pathologically lying, lawyers think it's hard to prove he knew he was lying.

The Col: Legal.... I wouldn't mind the rich using them so much is the taxation levels were as they were before Raygun was told to cut them. But they are not.

As for Romney not being transparent... He'd be screwed if he acted like this in the UK. His election chance would be zero... Even the BNP (probably the most hated party in the UK) would get more votes.

rod03801: Not even immoral?

"Perhaps if the greedy federal government were out of people's pockets, and stopped with lib regulations on everything, people wouldn't need to do that with their money, and COULD keep more of it here. "

Honestly, that is a really naive statement. Using Tax havens (and that is what they are) is just a way to avoid tax and hide dodgy money.

You'd trust a President who can't be honest over his own finances... Shame on you!!

The Col: Ready for when it comes back into fashion... HellBoy said it would
