Fear and Favor
Media moguls have often promoted politicians who would serve their interests. But at Fox News, it isn’t stopping there.
Paul Krugman is a better Prophet than most who want the job.-

Companies Borrow at Low Rates, but Don’t Spend
As many households and small businesses are denied loans, some big corporations are saving, not investing, vast sums they borrowed for next to nothing through a policy meant to help the economy.Deflation really stinks. Too bad the business pages don't know where it's coming from. -

Frenzy of Rape in Congo Reveals U.N. Weakness
Despite years of experience and billions of dollars, the peacekeeping force still seems to be failing at its task of protecting civilians.Haiti is bad. This is worse. Foot patrol is the way to secure an area. Roads support the infantry of the foot patrols. Paying the police at a good rate will keep them on the job. Supervision Is required. There must be courts trusted by all. The whole thing is only metastable. It requires constant attention. A "gold" rush is a disaster. These have none of the above. The state can start with the cities and work out. Bandits . . . -

Good Grief
A proposed change to psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders would confuse normal bereavement with major depression.Bad analysis of the problem will not fix a bad diagnostic procedure.To fix a "Mind" The doc. should know the "mind" in question. Interventions in ignorance, not of the specific mechanisms, those we do not usually know, of causal history is a formula for disaster. Talk first. Medicate later if at all.

In Scholastic Study, Children Like Digital Reading
“Many children want to read on digital devices, while parents worry technology will distract young bookworms.”Good. Reading does not require net access. Downloading text is very quick. The worried parent can take on the task. A clever kid can beat any parent at need. The usual result is "Ewwww!"

Frenzy of Rape in Congo Reveals U.N. Weakness
“Frenzy of Rape in Congo Reveals U.N. Weakness - http://nyti.ms/clzRwh Great Article” Vigilantism and an armed populace is a way that has been tried. Staked out on termite mounds might also be good. Let their fellows find their bones.

Michael Wolff to Lead a Stable of Trade Magazines
“Michael Wolff to Lead a Stable of Trade Magazines - http://nyti.ms/bpQOo1”There is why."Perhaps his most visible feud these days is with Rupert Murdoch and those in the billionaire mogul’s orbit — animosity that stems from the contents of a biography of Mr. Murdoch that Mr. Wolff published in 2008."

Third Party Rising
There’s a revolution brewing in the country. Could a third party be coming to challenge the Democrats and Republicans in 2012?
Been there, done that. Our revolutions come from the right. That will just make our hole deeper this time. The selling job is just not good enough. -
