Word of the day: heuristics

• From RR:
  • How heuristics can protect you from political con men. The do-no-harm principle, nonaggression (not pacifism but not starting fights).
  • Tibor Machan on SOTU.
• From LRC:
  • The feds want to steal your IRA or 401k.
  • SOTU, schmotu. The case against the minimum wage is a well-known libertarian argument.
• From antiwar.com:
  • Why the war on terror continues: spawning terror over there.
  • Obama could go it alone: bring all the troops home, and stop the killing.
• From TAC:
  • A Lenten-like theme: self-denial: bad jobs forming good character. Growing up.
  • What’s a ‘human right’?
  • What editors think of writers. I like being essentially an adman now, not editing others.
