Lagniappe: an unserious blog
Wherein my illusory sense of inflated self-importance will be temporarily vindicated
  • C-SPAN2 taped my Monday panel, so I'll be on Booknotes some indeterminate weekend in the future. (They must really like Martin Grace, as his presence on the panel is a perfect predictor for whether the tv cameras show up.) I hope I wasn't too scowly; I haven't looked at the AEI video yet.

  • My predilection for being the last person to leave Washington for the holidays pays off, as I once again benefit from the have-to-resort-to-the-fifth-string-talking-head factor: I go to the NPR studios tomorrow to pre-record an interview from which a soundbite or two will be selected. Don't know yet if it's for Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, or All Things Considered, but I'll post a link on Point of Law.
Speaking of leaving Washington for the holidays, I head out to Chicago and BBQ country for Hanukkah week, dragging work and Lethem's "Fortress of Solitude" with me.
