Too Good To Post Just Once: Yes, For The Umpteenth Time -- Ben Was Fired

We already posted this story earlier but it's nice to see it really was in today's WSJ: the EPA closes the book on probing fracking in Wyoming. It will give the agency more time to probe deep, dark holes elsewhere. 

Speaking of which, Jackson Hole. Jackson Hole, also in Wyoming. Again, from wiki:

The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has hosted an annual economic policy symposium at Jackson Lake Lodge since 1982. They chose Jackson Hole in 1982 because of its trout fishing, as they were trying to attract Paul Volcker, who was Chairman of the Federal Reserve and a keen fly-fisherman.

It appears that Ben is so miffed about being thrown under the bus, along with Catholic educators, that he has announced he won't be attending the annual economic policy symposium in JHW. Okay, so yesterday, and the day before, reporters asked repeatedly, and opined endlessly, whether Ben had been fired. When he, or his handlers, announced that he would not be attending next year's JHWAEPS, that should have been as big a hint as folks needed. 

But reporters need confirmatory sources.

Except when publishing leaks and state secrets.
