Why I Still Read Cato

1. "I think that Mr. Bernanke has been drinking the same sort of Keynesian Kool-Aid that other prominent economists like Larry Summers have been drinking." ()

Rembrandt Peale's Portrait of Thomas Jefferson 2. . (Capitol Tribune , with a satirical aside.) Anyone who wants to buy me this book will also be worshipped!

Actually I'm not a Jefferson fan (as readers might gather from my in Richmond, Virginia). I just like .

"The Chinese authorities are really stepping up their anti-Dalai Lama rhetoric and propaganda," Anne Holmes, acting director of the Free Tibet Campaign, said in an e-mail on Sunday.

During a public meeting in December in Lithang in the Kham area of Gansu province, which is populated largely by Tibetans, residents were asked to raise their hands if they opposed the Dalai Lama's return. No one obliged, the campaign group said.

Residents were then asked to raise their hands if they did not have weapons at home. As it is illegal to possess firearms, everyone raised their hand. A photo was then taken and sent to state media, claiming residents were opposed to the Dalai Lama's return, the Free Tibet Campaign said.

  • Who Can Protect the Burmese?:
    • Bal(t)imoron: @Brendan: I think Lee's point was, that neither OCHA nor France is helping the cause here. What's missing is any confirmation of how the Burmese junta is distributing the aid it has received.
    • Brendan: I am not a lawyer, nor do I know how the UN defines "crimes against humanity," but it seems to me that this category is being fulfilled by the junta's refusal to allow aid workers in and to accept aid and distribute it as fast as possible. I am not at all sure that...
  • Wait for September:
    • Bal(t)imoron: @Brendan: On the election point, as Ross Douthat argued, the MSM will be somewhere between character and wonkery. If McCain and Obama take a slant towards full disclosure, there will still be some silliness. September is also the last month when candidates can deploy the October surprise for max effect. There is also...
    • Brendan: The only question is whether the Democratic and Republican nominees ... There's another, and much larger question: Will the MSM cover these policy differences, or will it be all obsessing over slip-ups while speaking extemporaneously, which aide said what, how much of a war hero John McCain is, how much of a straight...
  • Whom I Should Believe on Al-Kibar:
    • Bal(t)imoron: So, my choices are the CIA, or Pyongyang? I think I've made it clear: I'll take neither!
    • Joshua: And you take the North Koreans at theirs?
  • Dayr az-Zwar Cipher:
    • Bal(t)imoron: @Joshua: If picayune reforms make the UN palatable to conservatives, so much the better. Every useful reform validates it. But, if Bolton, or the CIA, insist upon turf battles and slicing off chunks of the IAEA's authority to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, and then replace it with less effective and more manageable ad hoc...
