Looks like all had a good time. I did notice that you had your trusty cigars ready and waiting to go at any moment. Just when is the free-market going to come up with beer that can fit so neatly in your shirt pocket. That will be the new dawn of civilization. Hello Jim! Looks like all had a good time.

Lederhosen? Where did that come from? The Bavarians I have known smoke Cubans, not Dominican cigars. Yep, the GMU econ department actually teaches students about the danger of govt.

Shocking, you mean there is an economics department expecting it's students to consider, gulp...what a travesty....alternative economic paradigms? I hope they don't start debating principles, that wastes so much time and energy...best to just study the science of stress fractures due to metal fatigue in printing presses. Herr, Bovard, fire up that cigar in yer pocket and put you in a set of Lederhosen and you'd look like a mad Bavarian Bomber I thought "Brazil" was being used as a training film in Washington now.

Don Boudreaux is the chairman - and he is an outspoken champion of individual freedom - and not just free enterprise. The department stresses both Austrian economics and the Public Choice approach.

I don't understand why the roads get so congested, since politicians have promised to fix 'em so many times. It was refreshing to see so many young folks with both the enthusiasm for liberty and a analytical grasp of the dangers of Leviathan.

That's great to know. When I saw your post about the thing at George Mason, I was tempted to jump in the car and go, but I had a bunch of paperwork to do - something that's been of short supply lately. What a deal though - pizza, Bovard doing a routine with Q & A, and Brazil all for a reasonable price. That's more fun than they let you have in Richmond.
