Send the $15 to Althouse. At the very least she can review the book for everyone, if she choose to. Or maybe get her little dog a tail.

I think retail stores (like Sears) are in trouble because they don't know what their customers want. I was a store manager for a store in a big chain for awhile at a terminally ill location. The problem was that the store was set up when the people in the area were young and wanted cheap electronic goods. Now they were older - the same people mostly - and obviously they wanted to upgrade to the good stuff, if they bought at all. But the store inventory was still the cheap stuff though the chain had expensive items it sold elsewhere. The demographic had changed even though the people had not and you couldn't get upper management to see that. I often think of that when people talk about older folks and what they want, as in the case of Sears which is in the news. The Sears customers, if they were older folks, would want very expensive or very new exotic electronic equipment. The other stuff they'd have. And then as grandparents they would want the very newest of the new in toys and clothes for [grand]children. (Parents are the ones who have to be practical about children's things.) And, as people moving from houses to apartments, older people'd want ideas for that kind of living and also for travel. Sears did not have that mix and said that it didn't because it's customers were older people. It had the wrong idea of its customers and that's why it's in trouble.

I mention all this because it's a concrete example of a phenomenon which exists in other fields - such as voting. What are older people really looking for? Republican older folks were looking for a Republican saying something new while Democrats didn't, it turns out, really want someone saying the same old like Hillary. And the a very old older like Bernie the Commie was OK with younger people but not older. Young people like scratched records also.

Trey Goudy has the reputation of bending over backwards to be fair to members of the minority party on his House committees.

But now he's bending over backwards to absolve the FBI of any misconduct in the Stephan Harper "Spygate" matter. His reasoning fails to pass the smell test according to both Andy McCarthy of NRO and the Federalist's Molly Hemmingway.

Ace digs into Goudy's problem with considerable relish:

Mollie Hemingway and Andrew C. McCarthy Pummel Trey Gowdy's Ignorance and Blind Allegiance to College Guys With Guns

"I'm giving you the sizzle, mostly, but you'll have to go to the articles for the steak. That is, Hemingway and McCarthy give chapter-and-verse citations to prove (not support-- prove) their conclusions.

But I can't quote all that. Trust me, you should read it all."

MZ Hemingway: How can Trey Gowdy spout off so categorically when he didn't even read the reports?

Yes, the FBI Was Investigating the Trump Campaign When It Spied

FBI Spy Stefan Halper’s Media Contacts Could Pose A Problem, Retired FBI Officials Say

'...Halper was also an unnamed source for allegations about former national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a Russian-British researcher at Cambridge, Svetlana Lokhova.

Lokhova, who studies the history of Russian intelligence, said multiple reporters have told her Halper was behind allegations that she and Flynn had an improper relationship when he visited Cambridge in February 2014. Flynn served at the time as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

“‘FBI confidential informant’ Halper invented a false story which he passed on to official channels & Press, in full knowledge [sic] his personal attack was going to cause me, an innocent party, enormous harm,” Lokhova wrote on Twitter.

She also told The (London) Times that “Halper told reporters he had seen me leaving the dinner with Flynn.”

Reporters from three newspapers, The Washington Post, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, approached Lokhova at around the same time in February and March 2016 with allegations related to her interaction with Flynn.'

"...Lokhova said that reporters with The New York Times and The Washington Post declined to run stories about her and Flynn for lack of evidence."
