But there are those cases where you must fly with your dog.

Do you have any recommendations on air carriers with better policies? And any tips/tricks for making the journey as painless as possible for your dog?

A lot of people have put out election post-mortems that seem to indicate that voter preferences have changed.

However, given that the folks that "showed up" in 2014 are different from 2012 and 2010, how much of the preference change is real and how much of it is simply sampling bias?

Ignoring Netflix's House of Cards -- I've heard that HBO's Veep is much more representative of the grotty-frottiness of Washington.

Thoughts?

How/Why is W.VA coal competitive in the market?

The reason I ask is that when look at coal prices from central and northern Appalachia vs. other US coal producing regions, the prices seem a lot higher.

For example the EIA reports that on a per mmbtu basis, power river basin coal (WY and MT) is $0.53 while central and northern Appalachian coal is $1.69 and $1.79 respectively. Or Appalachian coal is three times more expensive vs coal from WY.

Are there specific use cases that require this high priced coal? Or is it truly a commodity where the lowest price wins?
