Comments on Samizdata quote of the day

As a followerof Kling's writings at L.F.and elsewhere, why does he use the term "populist" which has a particular connotation in the U S political context?

What we are seeing in the hustings is something more "profound."

But, I will ask Kling on his site.

I don't know that populist neccesarily has the same connotation as Populist any more then libertarian and Libertarian do, especially in this case.

Just wait until the 2010 Congressional elections, if you want to see real "populism"...

Enter anti-spambot Turing code:

Basic html active.

Alas, but for obscure reasons Mac and some Linux users cannot use push-button formatting options and have to use basic html manually. Revealed forthwith are the mysteries of basic Html:

<strong>This text in-between is bold</strong>

<em>This text is in italics</em>

And
