The Road to Serfdom *is* a great read. I keep a Hayek quote on my FR profile page. It’s the third one, and was quite a revelation for me when I first read it. It put a lot of things together for me regarding totalitarians and the labeling of the Nazis as “right wing”.
Your CS Lewis quote is one I use often.
Good. Don’t be intimidated. Just read a little at at time, because that’s how we wrote it.
Thank you. In the future, if you order one of my books, you can freepmail me and I’ll give you my address, and you can have it delivered to me, I’ll autograph it, and send it on to you.

Why Canada sucks…
And why we are on the fast track to suckdom. Check out this story Glenn had on radio today about a Canadian youth soccer league and the new rule they introduced. Any team that wins a game by more than 5 points will lose by default. Yes, you read that correctly. And yes, Canada sucks and because of stuff like this will continue to suck for a very long time. But we're not far behind! Glenn has more on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
The Overton Window

The Rosie O'Donnell BP solution
Another brilliant idea from a Hollywood celebrity regarding the BP oil spill situation: seize them! Yes, this is the kind of advanced thinking that conservatives could only dream of coming up with. Nothing bad could come of the government taking over our energy sector because government always runs things more smoothly and more efficiently than the private sector could ever dream of. Rosie takes a break from her donut to needlessly give her opinion, and Glenn shares her unmeasurable idiocy on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
Obama's Katrina?
It's been over 50 days, and the press doesn't seem to mind that the President is attending parties and having a blast as the oil spill continues. Not that there's anything he can or should really do, but we all can imagine what the firestorm would be today if it were George W. Bush in office. Keith Olbermann would probably be interviewing oily turtles by now if it were Bush. The best part is that Obama is now demanding that there be 'no excuses' - but does he live by that creed? WATCH
Nelson DeMille - The Lion
Glenn was thrilled to talk to legendary author Nelson DeMille on radio today, but was not so thrilled to find out that his latest book, The Lion, is coming out around the same time as Glenn's The Overton Window.
