    Disappointed in myself for being from Wisconsin and not knowing that “quantitative cheesing” is an actual policy debate.

    Analysis | America’s cheese stockpile just hit an all-time high. The current stockpile--1.39 billion pounds--is the largest since the government began tracking in 1917.

    Hmm, that’s not how I would characterize my post. The lawsuit was a (justified) tactical decision, not a strategy change.

    AT&T, Time Warner, and the Need for Neutrality It’s not surprise the government failed to block AT&T’s acquisition of Time Warner; might a better case have won? What is needed is better law.

    Great thread. This was exactly how I felt when Bourdain finally visited Taiwan. Told everyone I knew to watch. RIP

    He did, ultimately. My whole family watched it. Practically the whole island did. It was like the president visiting your home country. We all watched as Tony Bourdain spoke of the island as if he'd fallen in love with it. I hope he did.
