- We have been remiss in not mentioning the death of James Buchanan. Here is an obituary. Here are reminiscences from Tyler Cowen and Kevin Grier.
- Letter from scholars advocating more federal research on firearms.
- A RIVETING headline from one of my home state’s newspapers.
- The platinum coin started with a comment on a blog?
- A big data Oscar forecast. “Lincoln” has a 41% chance at winning Best Picture. (Hat tip to Michael LaCour.)
- Sammy Sosa’s Pinterest page is, well, interesting.

FYI, It’s Kevin Grier, not Mike Munger who shared his remembrance of Buchanan.
Fixed! To my discredit — and Grier’s — that is the second time I’ve made that mistake.
At first, I thought you meant James Buchanan the president. Boy, now that’s getting behind.
The link in the “riveting headline” post took me to an article headed “professor attends conference”!
I know! The all caps on RIVETING were meant to signal a bit of sarcasm.
