He Always Gets the Good Ones First

Last week, I got an e-mail offering me a review copy of CNBC reporter Michelle Caruso-Cabrera’s new book, You Know I’m Right: More Prosperity, Less Government. I’d planned to interview the author for a feature article, but guess who beat me to that interview?

A Fine Point Of Correction For Thrasymachus

by Smitty Over on the Meghan McCain appreciation thread, Thrasymachus offers the following: Meghan is a juvenile egomaniac and attention whore, just like her father. Sir, there is a difference between juvenile and Juvenal, whose birthday roughly equates to that of Meghan’s father. Subtle, I know. Anyway, back to the video editing. Come back in […]

“It is impossible to read Dirty, Sexy Politics and come away with the impression that you have read anything other than the completely unedited ramblings of an idiot. . . .

After Two Blog Posts, She Was Contacted by Five Literary Agents and . . .

. . . now has less traffic per month than I get in an average week, and yet is deemed so popular that she’s scheduled to appear later this month on The Today Show. Novelist Theodore Beale is also pissed: I happen to notice that my own little blog appears to have had 208,595 visitors last month, in […]

Recommended Reading From Top Hayekian Public Intellectuals

Since being named a “Top Hayekian Public Intellectual” in April 2009 — we have a secret handshake and meet in a treehouse behind Thomas Sowell’s garage — I’ve striven to uphold the honor of the Nobel Prize-winning Austrian School economist. A devotion to “spontaneous order” means that admission to our ranks is open to all, […]
