Sorry for the erratic posting this afternoon, but my personal hotspot went down in heavy traffic leaving me with no internet access. Those two factors should not coincide, but they do. You can help your blogger with the technology to keep this from happening in the future by making a donation to the Washington Monthly in whatever amount you can afford. I and my cheap but trusty Chromebook thank you.
Here are some remains of the day.
* Pat Robertson charity offers gig to Bob McDonnell as part of proposed deal to save him from a hitch in the hoosegow.
* At TNR Stephen Wolf compiles all the factors that make it likely white people will have more effective right to vote.
* 422 Freedom of Information Act lawsuits filed in 2014, the most since 2001.
* At Ten Miles Square, Keith Humphreys reports proportion of Americans under supervision of criminal justice system reaches 18-year low. It’s a good start.
* At College Guide, Jill Barshay reports research showing summer school more effective for learning math than reading.
And in non-political news:
* Florida passes New York in population (as estimated by the Census Bureau), becoming the third most populous state, with 19.9 million people.
That’s it for Tuesday. We’ll close with Hot Tuna performing “Hesitation Blues” on Minnesota Public Radio.
Selah.
