Free Download: Ernest Hemingway, “The Old Man And the Sea”
*“The Old Man And the Sea”* by James Quinn "Ernest Hemingway is one of the most renowned writers in American history, with classics such as "A Farewell to Arms," "For Whom the Bell Tolls," and "The Sun Also Rises" to his credit.

A surprisingly good meal in a Texas backwater
While on the way to San Angelo today, Miss D. and I decided to stop for lunch at the town of Munday, Texas.

While driving slowly down the main street, Miss D. spotted the Farmhouse Grill, and we pulled over. It was a good thing we did.

SCOTUS Hears Oral Arguments in Weyerhaeuser Case

By Ted Hadzi-Antich “In *Weyerhaeuser*, the Fish and Wildlife Service determined that private property in Louisiana should be regulated as critical habitat for an endangered species known as the dusky gopher frog even though no dusky gopher frogs inhabit the property – and haven’t for decades. The land isn’t a habitat for the frog, nor does it meet all of the criteria for a habitat. That didn’t stop the Service from making its determination, thus devaluing the land at the expense of the landowner. Taking regulatory hubris one step further, the Service determined that the critical ... more »

Here, I will review some of the basics, including the importance of balanci... more »

Jonathan Chait is puzzled by the fact that multiple sexual misconduct allegations haven't inspired the White House to withdraw the Brett Kavanaugh nomination: Sticking with Kavanaugh made no sense, and still makes no sense. Sometimes people do things that make no sense, though. And Republicans may well decide Kavanaugh’s confirmation is a symbolic battle in the *kulturkampf* that overrides any cost-benefit analysis. That is certainly what the public posturing by the Republican Party, as epitomized by Lindsey Graham, seems to indicate. But there are real signs of weakness beneath the... more »

The PlayStation Classic: A Critique
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. It’s also a sure fire way of making money, especially if you’re in the business of video games. Watching how Nintendo were basically able to print money with the releases of their NES and SNES classic consoles, for Sony to not follow suit an original PlayStation plug-in would be an opportunity missed. After all, their console sold much better than either of Nintendo’s machines and had more classic titles to boast about than its N64 and Sega Saturn rivals. There is an obvious attraction in repackaging old games for new audiences. One of th... more »

EPA rolling back Obama’s mercury rule
The Obama administration originally found that forcing coal-fired plants to use the mercury control technology would cost an estimated $9.6 billion a year — the most expensive clean air regulation.

However, the administration was able to rack up these health saving numbers by enabling the MATS Rule, with co-benefits adding another $80 billion, according to The New York Times.
