Elected to a second term as mayor just last spring, it's now unclear whether he will be able to cling to office following the police shootings that are roiling Chi-town. The Wall Street Journal reports: Mayor Rahm Emanuel cut short a holiday break in Cuba amid a wave of criticism at home that isn't letting

2016 Predictions Even Though Speculation Is Not Journalism
Trained by a brilliant but unheralded "newspaper man" shortly before the internet perverted journalism, the author of this column was instructed to never write or say anything that he did not know for sure.

If At First Your Acqui-Hire Sucks, Try Again
It took back-to-back acqui-hires for me to learn there's a right way and a wrong way to do them. We had made it. Despite running low on money and having little traction, my company was acqui-hired by Yahoo in October of 2013. I was thrilled to have a large salary at a well-respected company. Seventeen months later, I was laid off. Read More

On Guns, the Democrats Aren't Serious
(John Hinderaker) News reports indicate that next week, President Obama will unveil new regulations intended to force some non-firearms dealers to run background checks before selling guns. Since the database against which background checks are run is close to useless with respect to mental illness, and since lawbreakers won't run searches in any event, such a change will have, at best, symbolic value. I will have more to say about that later

Electric Andrea del Sarto
It is impossible to consider these fine, compact exhibitions devoted to Andrea del Sarto without recalling the eponymous poem by Robert Browning with which the Florentine painter has been lastingly stuck, given its compulsively quotable lines—"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, / Or what's a heaven for?"
