FUNNY HOW STIGLITZ AND PIKETTY DON’T LOOK INTO THIS PHENOMENON:
The Old South was misgoverned by Democrats for 150 years and within 2 decades of Republican governance it is now the economic engine of America. New England used to be Republican and prospered, but now it is becoming an economic backwater. California was the land of milk and…

OH. HAI… Can you Hear the Clanker Sing?
SALENA GETS IT:
The reason this song resonates so much across the country is multi layered–part of it is a longing to come home; the other part is so many people from Appalachia/West Virginia were displaced by lack of opportunity and so they migrated away, but they never lost that sense of… https://t.co/I0p2H0wa2M

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
SPACEWAR: ‘It’s quite a bit more than we expected’: Satellite reveals immense scale of GPS signal tampering. “An experimental satellite has mapped the scale of GPS jamming across Europe and the Middle East from space for the first time. The data surprised the team behind the project and indicated that satellites orbiting far from Earth aren’t the only ones that experience degradation of their positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) signals, which could affect their performance and the safety of their operations.”
DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Cigars, a canceled lacrosse season and the scandal rocking a Massachusetts town.
The boys gathered on an Ipswich, Mass., beach to celebrate their high-school graduation, some with medals draped over their black gowns. Jutting from each mouth: cigars that may or may not have been real.
The photos taken under cloudy skies June 7 mirrored those snapped all around the country lately. But in this coastal enclave dubbed America’s Best-Preserved Puritan Town, those snapshots have lit a burning debate.
What’s beyond dispute: Six of the grads were on Ipswich High School’s lacrosse team, and administrators suspended all six from a playoff game two days later for violating state athletic association rules against tobacco use. The team ultimately voted to forfeit the contest—and just like that, their championship run went up in smoke.
Now, this hamlet of 14,000 north of Boston is in a fierce debate over whether the penalty matched the foul. It has grown into a saga featuring a “a CSI-level investigation” at a local grocery store, and a heated showdown involving two dads in the principal’s office—captured on a police body camera.
“Come on, how many times you’ve been pulled over and a cop has said, ‘Ahh, go ahead?’ ” said Marc Randazza, a lawyer representing one of the suspended students and his father. “There is always discretion, right?”
To Ipswich resident Heidi Garofalo, though, the line was clear. “Kids have to learn the consequences when they do something wrong,” she said. “You have to abide by the rules. It just takes one slip [to] ruin everything.”
It really is “America’s Best-Preserved Puritan Town” – as H.L. Mencken famously wrote, “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy:”
They revoked their entire season for…smoking cigars? What? The image of a team celebrating with cigars was too “chauvinistic” for people to handle and they chimped out? What the heck is going on here? https://t.co/lgno5wSgFg

YES:
Why we post about Britain. Because the British can't.
That, and because Britain is whence we sprang as a nation, and we still love Britain. And having expended considerable blood and treasure in Britain's defense, we are not without standing.
