Charlie Sykes is traveling today, so deputy online editor Jim Swift is holding down the Daily Standard fort. Staff writer Alice B. Lloyd and reporter Andrew Egger join for a emotionally uneven joyride through the life and untimely death of wine thief Nicolas De Meyer, the website Conservapedia, the possibility of Yet Another Government Shutdown, and the first anniversary of the #MeToo movement.
