Around the Web

  1. Rand Paul’s foreign policy speech. A realist gives his thoughts.
  2. Free Soviet-era films online! I have a weird thing for Soviet art and literature. I’m always fascinated by what the censors would promote. Indulging in Soviet arts and letters forces me to ask why such art and literature was promoted by the state in the first place. What was it about the art that championed socialist man? (h/t Tyler Cowen)
  3. Why didn’t we know that the Russian meteor was coming?
  4. D-7 (original version)
  5. Did somebody say “tribal clashes”? (from 2008). Kenya is voting again. Let’s hope this piece proves to be a flash in the pan.
  6. Federalism for the 21st century.
