A database somewhere in his lower intestine

Longhorns 17, Badgers 1 by Iowahawk. A solid take down by Iowahawk of shoddy thinking and analysis proffered by Paul Krugman. This is an example of Bruce Thorton's concern about "False Knowledge" - that which we think to be true and never examine the details to verify whether it is in fact true or not. Analyzing one of the erroneous claims made by Krugman, Iowahawk comments:
Mr. Krugman . . . doesn't mention where he gets his dropout statistic from. I suspect a database somewhere in his lower intestine.
