We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people. Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house] Authors

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Good one. He now works at WaPo?
Prety good, but not enough about Lohan, who is obviously the most important person who ever lived.
For the Washington Post, very good.
Of course he cannot deny the very bedrock of his publication’s beliefs, and he probably just gets close enough to the bone to appear to be irreverent.
But yes. A good laugh.
It’s not his publication, John. It looks like he’s just an occasional freelancer these days.
That is broadly how the year was.
However, it does not cover the rise in the stock market.
It is odd – but when the Fed prints lots of money (“we do NOT print money” – my apologies, when the Fed creates lots of money on the computer…) and lends it out people to buy shares with – shares go up price.
Either the Fed (and the Bank of England) have discovered a way to an enternal bull market – or….. well best not to be too depressing.
One thing was grimly typical – the link to the Washington Post coverage of the O’Donnell versus Coons debate.
Coons called himself a Marxist (it was not O’Donnell inventing something) and the remarks attributed to O’Donnell were on a comedy television show (“Politically Incorrect”) which she was on whilst at college.
However, anyone reading the coverage of the debate, or the rest of the campaign, would think O’Donnell was evil (and a moron) and Coons was a little plaster saint.
Still the Washington Post will soon not be the force it once was – even having all those Federal bureaucrats and other such on its patch, will not save it from decline.
After all it just had to sell Newsweek for one Dollar (because it could not take the losses any more).
