Just like en_ki, I heartily endorse the following product and/or service: Liberaltarianism and Regulation: Swimming In America

I have to say that the whole "Liberals who think some regulation is hurtful" vs "Liberals who will never admit some government interference is harmful" kerfluffle has been entertaining. I suspect Matthew Yglesias and Will Willkinson are much closer to the sane core (I don't dare use the word "center"; the Overton window has been pulled far too far to the right) than either would admit.

Someone deserves an ASME...

Whoever designed this cover deserves an f'ing ASME (American Society of Magazine Editors) best cover award. Brilliant, immediate, provocative, and insightful all at once. Clear communication in a double-take. Kudos!
