Blended scotch is the Rodney Dangerfield of the whisky world—it just doesn't get much respect among "serious" whisky drinkers, despite the fact that it dominates the game in terms of actual sales (blends also tend to be much cheaper). To use another dated analogy, blends are the Garfunkle to single malts' Simon. Or how about this—blends are the Hawkeye to single malts' Captain America… except we're talking about Scotland here, but you get the point. Blended scotch is often viewed as inferior, and sometimes for good reason. But there are some truly excellent malts that make up the backbone of many blends that are worth knowing about. |

The plotters were counting on Clarence to give legal cover to the coup that his wife just happened to be agitating for? |
| A buzzy psychological thriller, a guaranteed Pixar classic, and (gasp!) an Adam Sandler flick—all right here. |

| The New York Times on Thursday explained that it's better than even money that we may not know the results of the midterm elections on November 4 until 15 minutes before it's time to call the next Congress to order in January. If it were possible for democracy to apply for a restraining order, these lawyers working to challenge election results would be at the top of the target list. That the Republicans are willing to enlist the aid of such thoroughly disgraced legal flotsam is all the proof anyone should need to conclude that the Republican Party and Trumpism are two sides of the same crypto token. |

| I am a shirt jacket evangelist. Even if I don't believe everyone out there should dig themselves quite as deep into this particular sartorial rabbit hole as I have, I'm a staunch believer in every closet containing at least one. Maybe two. Eh, call it three. When it comes to which shirt jackets should fill these positions, options and opinions abound. Some folks will argue the three-pocket chore coat fits the bill. I love a chore coat, but I'm not sure I agree. When I'm talking shirt jackets, I'm talking about something with a familiar-looking button-front, a curved hem, and a flap pocket or two on the chest. Something like Line of Trade's CPO jacket, which traces its design cues back nearly 100 years and should be slotted into your outerwear rotation with all due speed. |

| You're aware America is under siege, fighting an opioid crisis that has exploded into a public-health emergency. You've heard of OxyContin, the pain medication to which countless patients have become addicted. But do you know that the company that makes Oxy and reaps the billions of dollars in profits it generates is owned by one family? |
