Irreverence du jour

Patrick Appel notes a disagreement between Paul Krugman and John Cole, two of my favorite people: Cole objects to Krugman's use of the word "treason" in public debate over global warming, suggesting a version of Godwin's law. Appel wonders:

How do we apply this law when both sides of the debate accuse the other side of treason? They can't both "lose automatically."

Yes they can.
