Thursday Round-Up

Lotsa good stuff out there:

Arnold Kling (who’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite commentators) on the “happiness police.”

Peter Hitchens (Christopher’s antiwar Tory brother – weird family I guess) has a provocative essay on the “parental state” and the erosion of the rule of law.

The American Enterprise has two items of note from its current issue:

– sociologist Rodney Stark on “Fact, Fable, and Darwin”

– an interview with Thomas Sowell

A hilarious article from the New York Press: “The Liberal Case against Kerry”, and in the interest of fairness, also see “The Conservative Case against George W. Bush.” (links via Lew Rockwell)
