And that, boys and girls, is how the game is played. Just portray a bill meant to rein in banks as a bill meant to bail out banks... Maybe suggest that instead of protecting consumers, it will remove consumer protections. Or that instead of regulating derivatives, it will set them free. Simple. Why bother making up complicated lies when simple ones will do just fine?

James Rowe's advice to Barack Obama
Fallows quotes at length a memo that the New Deal lawyer James H. Rowe, Jr. wrote for Truman after the House and Senate went Republican in 1946. The memo’s basic message is, “It’s impossible to cooperate when the other party controls Congress. Don’t even try. Instead, marshal public opinion to your side.”
The Rowe memo (click here to read it) is fascinating to peruse today. It includes a list of Don’ts. Among these are “The creation of joint or bipartisan policy committees”

The European economic numbers flow across my computer screen, not quite as quickly as the ticker tape crawl at CNBC or Bloomberg, but there are a lot of them and virtually every one is bad. And in or out of the euro zone, they all point to the same thing: austerity isn't working.
In Greece: the economy contracted by 7 percent in the last quarter. Since austerity budgets began to be implemented two years ago Greece's debt had jumped from 115 percent of GDP to 166 percent of GDP, the Guardian reports.
In Britain: Unemployment is at 8.4 percent according to the Office of National Statistics, a 16 year high (I have reported on other sources of unemployment statistics here).
As in the U.S. today's overall British unemployment number tells only part of the story. The crucial figure, as reported in the Daily Telegraph, is this: "A record number of people are working part-time because they cannot find full-time jobs - up by 83,000 over the latest quarter to 1.35 million."
Unmanned Vehicles: Liberating or Enslaving?
Unmanned aerial vehicles are great for spying over enemy territory, but they are a huge drain on human resources. In fact, a combat air patrol that relies on UAVs demands more operators and support staff than if it were conducted by conventional aircraft with a pilot in the cockpit.
“Over 150 people are needed to do one combat air patrol” with U.S. Air Force Predator or Reaper drones, says Reginald Brothers, deputy assistant secretary of defense for research.
“That’s a lot of people,” he adds. “These unmanned systems require more people to operate than tactical manned aircraft,” Brothers tells an industry conference Feb. 14 hosted by Aviation Week & Space Technology.
How to make unmanned systems less labor intensive was cited by Brothers as one the Pentagon’s pressing technological challenges. “We are seeing increasing reliance on UAVs” but the military cannot afford the soaring personnel demands associated with these systems, he says.
One reason why so-called “autonomous” vehicles require so much human oversight is that machines and humans are not able to share a “common perception” of what is happening, he explains. As a result, machines are not yet fully trusted to conduct missions independently.
“The challenge is having shared situational awareness, a shared perception between the machine and the human operator
