Michael Totten says it’s time to put it out of its misery.
It’s been an artificial construct for a century.
[Update late afternoon, after returning from Mojave]
Michael emails to tell me that the article is no longer behind the paywall.
Clarence Thomas In League With The KKK
This is breathtaking, in a way. And this is what they want to teach our kids.
D-Day
Hillary’s Glass Ceiling
So just which one was it she cracked, again?
But she flew hundreds of thousands of miles!
Che
One of the Israeli political parties isn’t quite clear on the concept.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The Benghazi Documents
I’m sure you’ll be as shocked, shocked as I am to learn that there are huge temporal gaps in them. Because, you know, “most transparent administration in history.” Just like with the IRS.
Hey, it’s not like it’s eighteen minutes, like Nixon.
Annals Of Higher Education
This is what the past decades have wrought. The federal student loan program has been an unmitigated disaster for almost everyone, except (so far) the university administrators.
The Emails And The Clinton Foundation
It’s not two separate scandals, it’s one big hairy one. It makes perfect sense that if she was soliciting foreign funds while secretary of state, she’d not want to do it from a government email account. And those are likely among the ones she hasn’t turned over (among others).
Much of the Clinton criminality in the nineties was similarly intertwined.
[Update a while later]
Huma Abedin, Hillary’s unindicted email co-conspirator.
Iowa And Ethanol
To me, ethanol epitomizes the dysfunction of our national politics. It’s an awful policy, raising the price of both fuel and food, which hits the poor hardest, while damaging engines and stealing from the taxpayer. Everyone knows it but, because, by historical circumstance, Iowa is so politically prominent in presidential politics, too few are willing to say it (I’ll grant that Huckabee and Santorum may actually be economically ignorant enough to think it’s a good idea). So good for Cruz.
I wonder if there’s any possibility of a class-action suit against it, from both fuel consumers and food consumers? If not, there should be. It could fix a lot of awful welth-transfer laws.
The Former Laura Seward
…has gotten married, and started a space blog.
Best wishes for both.
