No puns nor dits today. My computer crashed first thing this morning,
while I was trying to add RAM. It’s out for repairs (and I might have fried my
motherboard — don’t ask). The old laptop I’m using right now is missing all the
forms, info, links, etc., that keep your Editor on his toes. This weblog will be
running on about one cylinder until the Great Computer Muse returns (with my computer).
“tinyredcheck” Okay, One Dit: Eugene Volokh has weighed in on Oklahoma’s casket-selling restrictions,
disagreeing with Randy Barrett’s position that states may not impose restrictions merely to favor
one segment of sellers over another. Eugene wonders why the press doesn’t inform the public
on how such laws hurt consumers. (The FTC has lots of info on the subject, if the press is
interested.) See my guest post at Crime & Federalism, burying the competition, for more — and
Tim Sandefur’s assertion of a Right of Economic Freedom and Opportunity.
mudslinging: our favorite Fool could barely it to the Forest today. I hope all my Wetcoast friends
are safe and dry.
