What dome should I put up today? How about a nuclear dome? Here are the two containment domes at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, taken on a hazy late afternoon. It's a funny thing: San Onofre was shut down a decade ago, but all the high-tension lines coming from the station are still up ...continue reading "Lunchtime Photo"

Lincoln Museum Acquires Original Photo Lincoln Gifted to Injured Supporter

2 years 6 months ago
SPRINGFIELD – The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum has acquired an original photograph that Lincoln gave to a man who had been gravely injured while preparing for a rally during the historic 1858 U.S. Senate race. Charles Lame was nearly killed when a cannon went off prematurely the day before a Lincoln political rally in in Pittsfield, Ill. The next day, Lincoln arrived, held his rally and then tried to visit Lame. The doctor would not allow visitors, but Lincoln arranged for Lame to receive a photo that had been taken that day.

Joe Biden is as popular as any former president

2 years 6 months ago
I suppose everyone is tired of me posting this chart, but sometimes I feel like I should put it up every day: Joe Biden's approval level is totally normal for this point in time. He's a few points less popular than Bill Clinton was at 140 weeks, but that's it. Everything is fine.

Opposing sides of Missouri marijuana recall to face off in administrative hearing

2 years 6 months ago
Recalls on cannabis products have become common in other states where marijuana is legal. But when Missouri regulators issued their first recall last month, veterans of the industry were surprised. While recalls most commonly involve a company cooperating with regulators to understand the issue — was there bacteria in the product, or perhaps a wrong label — that was not the case in Missouri. Products were immediately pulled from the shelves, and the manufacturer’s operations were suspended,…
