Office workers at the Malaysian surveying company ARH clown around with currency. More here. 16 May 2009 07:31 pm The Mystery Of Great ProseMorgan Meis marks the 50th anniversary of William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White's The Elements of Style: If there is an underlying metaphysical principle guiding The Elements of Style (the one with White's additional chapter) it is something like the following: language is simple, direct, and expressive… except that it's magical, dynamic, and unfettered.
White looks at Thomas Paine's famous sentence, "These are the times that try men's souls." He tries switching it around to, "Times like these try men's souls." It crashes to the ground. Why? We simply do not know. No explanation seems adequate. Try it yourself. Try to actually explain, with reasons and causes, why the one sentence sets the aforementioned soul stirring while the other practically extinguishes it. As White says, we usually end up explaining the difference with such words as "rhythm" and "cadence." But what are we really explaining with those words? We're still just saying that one sentence simply sounds better than the other. That's not explanation — it’s obfuscation. The first sentence is better and we damn well know it. We don't know why. But we know it, as certain as the hand in front of one's face, the rain falling on the plain. 16 May 2009 06:10 pm The Banksy Bubble
Gary Moskowitz is tired of the iconic graffiti artist: I’m bored of Banksy. Sure, I enjoy stumbling across his work in alleys and splashed on buildings throughout London. And occasionally the artist has created work both bracingly timely and incisive (”NOLA", is a particularly good example). But it is impossible to contain the raw energy of street art in a formal art space, where any anti-establishment strains in his work are bled away beneath the expensive track lighting.

16 May 2009 04:56 pm The Conservatism Of DoubtGary Becker makes a vital point about the spirit of the right: I believe that the best way to restore the consistency and attractiveness of the conservative movement is for modern conservatism to return to its roots of skepticism toward governmental actions. This involves confidence in the capacity of individuals to make decisions not only in their own interests, but also usually in the interests of society at large. Such a shift in attitudes would require more flexible approaches toward hot button issues like gays in the military, gay marriage, abortions, cell stem research, and toward many other issues of this type. It will not be easy for the Republican Party to emerge from the doldrums if it cannot embrace such a consistently skeptical view of government.

This one time... from nelson boles on Vimeo. 16 May 2009 03:56 pm The Morality Of Food, CtdJulian Sanchez responds to Max Fisher: I’m not an evangelist vegetarian; I don’t recall ever trying to press a carnivore of my acquaintance to give the stuff up. This isn’t because I think it’s a matter of pure pesonal aesthetics: In fact, I think they all ought to stop. But part of “making life livable for ourselves” means not turning into the sort of noodge who browbeats friends and acquaintances about their dietary choices—at least until they start ordering the Flipper Tempura Roll at Nobu. But let’s not coat this in self-deluding horseshit about pluralism or tolerance or “live and let live.” That debases our ethical impulses by making concern for animal (or, indeed human) suffering one more matter of taste—like a preference for anchovies. Respecting other people’s right to make a different choice—at least within certain broad parameters—shouldn’t mean denying we can judge some choices better than others. 16 May 2009 02:48 pm Maybe You Shouldn't Buy That
A wonderful new blog. Who doesn't need a $32 million golden bathroom? 16 May 2009 02:40 pm Resource WarsRenard Sexton reports from Sierra Leone:
Continue reading "Resource Wars" » 16 May 2009 02:27 pm The Party Of TortureBill Kristol provides a curtain-raiser for a Cheney speech next week that promises to entrench the notion that the Republican party is the Torture Party. As always, Kristol's sole principle seems to be the wielding of power. He, like Cheney, is beginning to understand that history is beginning to gel around the assumption that the Bush-Cheney administration presided over the worst attack on US soil in history and failed to capture or bring to justice any of its perpetrators, put the next generation into unparalleled and unsustainable debt, did nothing to combat climate change, viciously opposed the civil rights movement of its time, shrunk the GOP to one in five voters, precipitated the worst recession since the 1930s, took the US into two grueling, unwinnable wars, humiliated the US at the UN with fatally flawed intelligence for war in Iraq, and destroyed the credibility and endurance of the Geneva Conventions, thus ensuring that future captured Americans will be tortured with no recourse. What to do about this? Do a self-accounting? Figure out how these appalling errors were made? Apologize? Nah: An intelligent and knowledgeable advocate--even if he's personally not so popular--can do a lot to get an issue front and center. And the debate of that issue can do political damage to the existing administration and its congressional allies. The real question any Republican strategist should ask himself is this: What will Republican chances be in 2012 if voters don't remember the Bush administration--however problematic in other areas--as successful in defending the country after 9/11? To give this issue away would be to accept a post-Herbert-Hoover-like-fate for today's GOP. That's why Republicans should listen carefully when Cheney gives a speech this week in which he'll lay out the case for the surveillance, detention, and interrogation policies of the Bush administration in the war against terror.
Continue reading "The Party Of Torture" » 16 May 2009 02:20 pm Can Sleep Deprivation Kill You?While no human being is known to have died from staying awake, animal research strongly suggests it could happen. In the 1980s, a University of Chicago researcher named Allan Rechtschaffen conducted a series of groundbreaking experiments on rats. After 32 days of total sleep deprivation, all the rats were dead. Curiously, researchers still do not agree on the cause of death. It's possible that the rats' body temperature dropped so much that they succumbed to hypothermia. Another theory posits that the rats' immune systems became so depressed that bacteria normally sequestered in their intestines spread throughout their bodies—though Rechtschaffen counters that his rats perished even when they were administered antibiotics. A third explanation points to some evidence of brain damage among the sleep-deprived rats. It's also possible that extreme levels of stress contributed to the rats' demise. Around a hundred prisoners died during interrogation by US forces under George W. Bush.
16 May 2009 01:55 pm The Huntsman CoupIn what can only be called a genius move for the Democrats and a terrible blow to the GOP, Obama has coopted Utah governor John Huntsman to be his new ambassador to China. Huntsman is the one of very few - Jeb and Crist are the others, in my view - who could rescue the GOP from generational oblivion. He's a conservative from Utah, but understands how ugly, bitter and extremist the Republicans have become. A pro-civil union Mormon who gets the problem of climate change, Huntsman was the un-Cheney. And Obama just snagged him. Don't under-estimate Obama's policial cunning, guys. But for those of us with some small hope of restoring decency and moderation to the right, this is a major blow. What Obama is doing is bringing all the sane conservatives - from Crist to Huntsman to Gates - into his orbit. And Cheney gets to be the the face of the GOP future. 16 May 2009 01:27 pm "You Just Cost Me Money"Michael Steele tries to find a way to appeal to the next generation in stigmatizing gay couples. At this point, one has to realize he is dumber than Wurzelbacher. 16 May 2009 01:00 pm The Nazi Comparison
Eli and Reihan argue that my opposition to the Bush-approved torture of prisoners is not a serious argument but a sincere expression of emotion. But the two, of course, are not mutually exclusive categories. It is possible to make a very serious argument about the ineffectiveness and danger of the executive branch's use of torture - and also express emotion about what that has done to the integrity of the war on terror, the moral standing of the West, and the suffering and death imposed on human beings in custody. If I ever stop feeling anything about naked prisoners beaten and left for long periods of time in frozen cells, or slammed against walls, or turned into mental cases, then I will cease to be the human I am. And Eli and Reihan must surely also understand that I believed in this war and wanted it to succeed because it would defang evil, not perpetuate it, and advance human rights, not violate them in the worst way imaginable. You can no more torture your way to the rule of law than you can destroy a village in order to save it. It is, moreover, unfair to say I have compared the Bush administration with the Nazis. I haven't.

16 May 2009 12:17 pm E-Book CanariesPeter Wayner worries that piracy will destroy authors' earnings: The kind of book I write, thick with equations that play to computer lovers, is also the first to be pirated. It’s a canary. O’Reilly Publishers, one of the top technical presses, reported that in 2008, the computer book market was the only segment to lose sales. According to the company, the category sold 8% fewer titles in 2008 than 2007. I’m not going to write more books if the revenues will be wiped out by pirates. While authors like Cory Doctorow like to argue that the author’s real enemy is obscurity, there was no real uptick in the sales of my book when these pirated versions appeared. Alan Jacobs agrees about the threat: It's kind of an individual thing right now — as Stephen King says about the book pirates, "most of them live in basements floored with carpeting remnants, living on Funions and discount beer" — but if textbooks go digital then such bootlegging will become a full-fledged industry. Somebody will make money off it, but it won't be the textbook publishers. 16 May 2009 11:28 am Chewing Is Passé
Tyler Cowen points to a bit of text from David Kessler's The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite: According to Gail Civille, in the past Americans typically chewed a mouthful of food as many as twenty-five times before it was ready to be swallowed; now the average American chews only ten times. Drum wants evidence and tests himself. My oldest beagle inhales her food so far as I can tell. 16 May 2009 10:52 am The Case For Childhood GuiltJonah Lehrer has a great article on delayed gratification studies - and it reminded me of my own struggles as a kid every Lent avoiding candy or eating vegetables. In a study cited by Lehrer, children were put in a room and given a choice: they could have a treat immediately or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they would get two treats. The children could ring a bell at any time to summon a researcher: Once Mischel began analyzing the results, he noticed that low delayers,
the children who rang the bell quickly, seemed more likely to have
behavioral problems, both in school and at home. They got lower S.A.T.
scores. They struggled in stressful situations, often had trouble
paying attention, and found it difficult to maintain friendships. The
child who could wait fifteen minutes had an S.A.T. score that was, on
average, two hundred and ten points higher than that of the kid who
could wait only thirty seconds.
Vaughan adds: This and subsequent research has led us to believe that the ability to delay gratification for better rewards in the future is a fundamental skill in success, probably because it looks at how emotions and motivations interact with a more rational appproach to reasoning. We know what's best, but can we keep temptation at bay to reach it? We all need nuns in childhood. They fuck you up but they make you smart. 16 May 2009 10:35 am 79 Cent NachosSarah Hepola samples recession food: There is something unsettling about the audaciously punctuated "Why Pay
More!" Taco Bell value menu. I don't mean health concerns -- though
those are aplenty -- but the confounding question of how a restaurant
could possibly profit selling nachos at 79 cents. The nachos come
covered in refried beans and goopy fluorescent orange cheese drizzled
with red sauce, a wan imitation of Tex-Mex that made me weep for my
years spent in Austin, Texas, but still … 79 cents! Even for recession prices, that feels low.

Montreal, Quebec, 8.14 am 16 May 2009 09:33 am Black LungA new study helps to reveal why African Americans are more adversely affected by tobacco use: Researchers found that in African Americans, darker skin — specifically that acquired by sun exposure, not genetics — is directly linked to smoking frequency and dependence. “African Americans are known to have a more difficult time quitting and suffer from more tobacco-related diseases,” said [study author] Gary King.... Melanin pigments, which determine skin color, bind tightly to nicotine. As a consequence, nicotine and tobacco’s cancer-causing agents tend to linger and accumulate in other melanin-containing tissues like the heart, lungs, liver and brain, potentially putting those organs at increased risk for tobacco-related diseases. 16 May 2009 08:28 am Almost MoneyNYT economics reporter Edmund Andrews explains how he got trapped in the housing bust. It's a great, if depressing, read: As I walked out of the settlement office with my loan papers, I couldn’t shake the sense of having just done something bad . . . but also kind of cool. I had just come up with almost a half-million dollars, and I had barely lifted a finger. It had been so easy and fast. Almost fun.

A map by Good. (Hat tip: Flowing Data) 15 May 2009 08:19 pm How Deep Is The Dem Bench?E.D. Kain opines: To me, Pelosi’s denial (and accusation against the CIA) lays bare a deeper truth about the Democrats. Without Obama they’d be nearly as big a mess as the Republicans. Most of them are complicit in the Bush torture program and the wars. The party is almost headless without Obama - led by the fickle and hardly inspiring Reid/Pelosi duo. After Obama, if conservatives learn anything over the next eight years - yes, I’m predicting it will be eight - unless the Democrats get some sort of order and discipline and more importantly, some grander vision, then I think the GOP should have no trouble at all coming in and cleaning up. He's got a point. Reid and Pelosi really do make me want to change channels whenever they appear on TV. But eight years is a long time; and talent can rise in Washington and state capitals from time to time. 15 May 2009 07:55 pm Two Reynolds NitsHe is right, of course, about long-term fiscal crisis. But he's surely wrong to blame Obama for the debt in 2009 - "I wonder how things could have come to such a pass?" - and the huge unfunded liabilities that loom in the future because of Bush's entitlement spending spree. For good measure, he offers only one option to save money - stop sending stimulus checks to dead people (well, one, actually). Yeah, that will do it. I mean: really.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki speaks during the inauguration of a newly built Tweirij Bridge across the Euphrates River in the city of Karbala, 110 kms from Baghdad on May 15, 2009. Maliki said that serious action will be taken against any corruption found within the Iraqi government. By Mohammed Sawaf/AFP/Getty. 15 May 2009 07:16 pm Splitting Social SecurityFree Exchange wants to overhaul the entitlement: Social Security was meant as a national saving scheme that would prevent old-age poverty and ensure the middle class a reasonable retirement income. It would better achieve those objectives by addressing them separately. Ideally we would have a two-pronged system: one to provide explicit welfare, the other a transparent saving vehicle.
15 May 2009 06:20 pm The Obama StraddleMarc reports on the military commission tribunals: This point has been overlooked in the first round of coverage about President Obama's decision to use military commission tribunals for some of the Gitmo detainees: according to an administration official, most of the remaining 241 detainees will be afford Article III trials -- that is, fully-fledged, regular trials, unless they're released without trial. Some of them might be shunted to a newly-created national security court, if the administration and Congress team up to create one. The remaining detainees -- presumably dangerous folks who the administration wants to detain but who haven't had the right type of evidence accumulated against them -- will be tried by the military. The AP says about 20 military commissions will be held. He asks some important questions here. Greenwald is on the case. I'm much more sympathetic to Obama's compromise than Glenn. Once you remove torture, and allow for real legal defenses, and avoid hearsay, the worst of the Bush-Cheney system is eliminated. And it remains my belief that the conflict with al Qaeda is much more like war than criminal enforcement. Finding a way to provide some of the nimbleness and expedition of war-powers without the inhumane dimension of the Cheney era is not easy. But it strikes me that the president is making a thoughtful effort to get the balance right. 15 May 2009 05:42 pm Gates' Struggle For More Sanity On Defense

"Evidence Based Medicine" is a term which makes about as much sense as "Sex-based intercourse"--Were we practicing based on zodiac signs before EBM came along? (By the way, I borrowed "sex based intercourse" after hearing a prominent chair of medicine say it--I don't know if he coined it, but I thought it was brilliant). Soon we'll have a generation of physicians who are CE experts to bump out the EBM experts.
Tyler Cowen and Arnold Kling are also skeptical. Hilzoy's defense of CE here. 15 May 2009 04:46 pm Reinforcements In The Carbon Battle, CtdJonathan Adler is also on the Carbon Tax bandwagon: I've been arguing that a revenue-neutral carbon tax is preferable to cap-and-trade for some time (see here and here). The real dealing has yet to begin, and already the House cap-and-trade bill is being watered down to accommodate corporate interests, and it will only get worse. I have no illusions about the likelihood of a "clean" carbon tax bill emerging from Congress, but I believe cap-and-trade is inherently more vulnerable to special interest manipulation -- a problem made worse since so few people understand what cap-and-trade means. As actually implemented, cap-and-trade is also less likely to spur the sort of innovation necessary to meet even less-ambitious climate targets, particularly if Congress insists on combining it with energy portfolio standards that constrain the market's ability to shift toward the most efficient means of emission reductions. So, in the case of carbon, it's time to consider a revenue-neutral tax.
15 May 2009 04:28 pm Hate MeDale Carpenter reacts to the religious liberty clauses being inserted into New Hampshire's marriage equality bill: With the passage of each new SSM bill, the pressure to adopt specific religious exemptions and to expand their coverage is growing. Make no mistake: a baseline is being established in New England. I'm fine with it. I don't want to offend anyone's religious convictions or in any way intrude on anyone's right to regard me and my civil marriage as an abomination and to stay as far away from it as possible. They can keep their kids away, they can tell them I'm wicked, that I will go to hell, that my love is an illusion, that my life a sham. But give me equality under the law. No more; no less. And may your God go with you. 15 May 2009 04:20 pm Mental Health BreakSir Ian McKellen shares his acting secrets with Ricky Gervais in a scene from "Extras":
15 May 2009 04:09 pm McChrystal's Men: TF 6-26
It was a successful operation designed to find and kill Zarqawi, and is also regarded as responsible for finding and killing many insurgents. It was also riddled with abuse, torture and murder of prisoners: For an elite unit with roughly 1,000 people at any given time, Task
Force 6-26 seems to have had a large number of troops punished for
detainee abuse. Since 2003, 34 task force members have been disciplined
in some form for mistreating prisoners, and at least 11 members have
been removed from the unit, according to new figures the Special
Operations Command provided in response to questions from The New York
Times. Five Army Rangers in the unit were convicted three months ago
for kicking and punching three detainees in September 2005. Its motto: "If you don't make them bleed, they can't prosecute for it." McChrystal appears to be the anti-Petraeus. No wonder Cheney loves him. But why then did Obama pick him for Afghanistan? In the wake of horrifying news of unintended civilian casualties, in a war where the US is already intensely unpopular, Obama has picked a leader who can be directly linked to the worst images and incidents of prisoner torture and abuse under Bush. And one can't help but wonder at the same time: is McChrystal the reason for the sudden volte-face on the abuse photos? Their resurfacing would make hearings very awkward. 15 May 2009 03:38 pm Who Is Stanley McChrystal?
An interesting piece from someone who once served under him and clearly worships him. Read it all. Money quote: Obviously writing from the seat of retirement, and with absolute respect and gratefulness for
LTG McChrystal’s aggressive leadership, personable demeanor, and unwavering mentoring, I
envy the guys that are soon to find themselves sharing the same mess hall, weight room, and
helicopter as The Pope. The man is unstoppable. Demonstrably more committed than most. More
open, in fact insistent, on creative and innovative ideas from his subordinates to fight the war on
terror. From my perspective, our rules of land warfare, our respect for human life, and our
strategic constraints handcuff us to the point that the war in Afghanistan is unwinnable. But, with
LTG McChrystal at the helm now all bets are off. That last sentence suggests that McChrystal disagrees with the customary "respect for human life" demanded of the US military. McChrystal's past is mysterious but there is little doubt that he was deeply involved in one of the worst torture outfits in Iraq, Camp "Nama", an acronym for "Nasty Ass Military Area". The key sources for what went on at Nama are a NYT story here, and a Human Rights Watch report here. Two prisoners were tortured to death in this place. It was extremely closely monitored, with records of all sorts of torture and abuse, and yet there are also extensive stories of abuse that went well outside even the torture techniques approved by Cheney and Rumsfeld. Remember also that Iraq was, even by the standards of the Bush administration, supposed to be under the Geneva Conventions. The camp's record has been shrouded in secrecy from the beginning. Nama housed the "black room" - a torture cell: The black room was 12 by 12 [feet]. It was painted black
floor to ceiling. The door was black, everything was black. It had speakers in
the corners, all four corners, up at the ceiling. It had a small table in one
of the corners, and maybe some chairs. But usually in the black room nobody was
sitting down. It was standing, stress positions, and so forth. The table would
be for the boom box and the computer. We patched it into the speakers and made
the noise and stuff. Most of the harsh interrogations were in that room. . . .
Sleep deprivation, environmental controls, hot and cold, water.
The abuse was so severe - two prisoners were murdered in the course of torturing them - in this camp that even Stephen Cambone tried to shut it down. And yet it remained functioning before and after the Abu Ghraib scandal, clear irrefutable evidence that Abu Ghraib was policy. At Nama, most of the torturers and soldiers were referred to by their first names, and anonymity was rampant. The Red Cross visited some camps in the Iraq war but not Camp Nama. Here is an excerpt from the interview Human Rights Watch did with a soldier who was an eye-witness to the torture and abuse at the camp:
