Thoughts from Wretchard on their reactionary attempts to return to the past.
One In Five College Students
…are considering suicide.
I never considered suicide in college (or at any time in my life). I may have missed the signs, but I am unaware of anyone I knew who did so. But that was four decades ago. I think it’s a sign that too many young people are going to college. And they’re paying too damn much for it.
The Anniversary
It’s hard to believe that it’s been seventeen years. Glenn Reynolds has some links and thoughts. Yes, Barack Obama was feckless, but part of the reason we got him was due to the fecklessness of George Bush, and the mismanagement of Iraq. I thought at the time the administration had a strategic plan for the Middle East, but I was wrong.

Tracing Circuits
I have a switch in the house that I have no effing idea what it does. I’d have thought that it would be easy to buy a tone generator that can be detected through drywall to follow the wire, but after going to Home Depot, and searching on line, I’m coming up empty. What am I missing?
[TUesday-morning update]
I’m not looking for theories of what it might be, I’m looking for a tool that will tell me.
The Secret Documents
…that Trump may declassify this week.
THis is probably the Deep State’s worst nightmare. Except they’ll come out in the middle of possibly the greatest hurricane in American history, in terms of property damage. But they will remain declassified all the way through the elections.
The Need For A Space Force
It’s a 19th-century solution for a 21st-century problem. Most of the takes on this have been idiotic, but this is a good one. I’d note though, per the end, it’s not a choice between a Space Corps/Force or Space Guard. We need both.
When A Foreign Power Meddled In A Election
Like me, Byron York remembers the 90s, the Clinton administration, and the Chinese government. But that was different because shut up.
Suborbital In Japan
Everyone is getting into the act. Seems like a weird propulsion concept, but I guess you can make an airbreather work for suborbital.
Another Arkancide?
The reach of the Clinton’s is long.
