I gave a couple talks at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum last week. This is a program of the Free State Project – and it was great to see how much further the Free Staters have gotten since the last time I visited New Hampshire. These folks are putting their shoulder behind making freedom a […]

New York Times’ Perverse Perspective on Writers’ Rooms
The New York Times has an unintentionally hilarious series of photos of “The Writer’s Room” – the personal spaces where five authors write their books.
