@PelicanInst CEO. I'm at my very most winsome when I'm in formalwear. Opinions are my own. But let's be honest - I'd prefer they were yours, too.

Ten years ago this week, Kevin Kane passed away at just 50. As founder of the Pelican Institute (@PelicanInst), he gave Louisiana something lasting.
We remember him today with gratitude.

When it cannot rain:
- Halloween Night
- Saturdays in Death Valley
When it CAN rain:
- ANY other time!
Join me in a prayer to the good Lord asking for some rain in the forecast. The farmers that feed our communities need it desperately, so please spare them a prayer!

The pattern is unmistakable.
Every time the government tries to spend to make something more affordable, it just raises the cost.
Look at this chart every time a socialist promises they will spend their way out of our affordability crisis.

"A consensus builder rather than a bomb thrower." Perfect description of the late Kevin Kane, who led with humility and represented the best of the free-market movement. His wonderful wife Lesley is still in New Orleans, and is the city's absolute best guide to the French Quarter.

Get to gettin', please. I need to see what happens next!
“The Diplomat” has been renewed for Season 5 at Netflix.
The streamer announced the news shortly after Season 4 dropped earlier this month and ended on a big cliffhanger.

Florida’s insurance turnaround keeps gaining momentum.
Insurance losses have stabilized. Insurers are paying less for backup coverage. And Raymond James’ Kapil Bhatia says tort reform “has helped a lot.” Florida keeps showing what reform can deliver.
