The national pastime becomes a time machine
I'm playing hooky. It's Thursday around noon, and a column is due, but it's 1970 and I'm playing hooky.I'm watching baseball. Gloriously sunny, rapturously dramatic, midweek playoff baseball.

When I was in seventh grade at St. Albert the Great, I would excuse myself for a restroom visit, then escape to the basketball courts to listen to the first innings of the World Series games between the Reds and the Baltimore Orioles, thus missing most of English composition class.Maybe that explains the short paragraphs.

Lydian International Announces Robust Feasibility
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and Custom Stack Reclaimer. These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral resources will be converted to measured and indicated categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied.

Bush was president. The thrust of the Ryan argument is that whenever the plant may have closed, it has yet to re-open under Obama, and is therefore a symbol of a failed recovery.
