I apologize for the dearth of posts lately. I have been reading a lot of books the old-fashioned way, chasing girls down so that I can  smell their hair and generally just enjoying life post-graduation.

1. Will Wilkinson blogs about the drug war’s inherent racism at Democracy in America.
2. Rebecca Liao writes about Democracy in China for Dissent.
3. Randy Barnett on the future of federalism after the “gay marriage” SCOTUS decision.
4. Uganda versus South Korea. An interesting take on development by Andrew Mwenda.
5. The Economist has a great piece on the violence in Turkey.
6. Fascinating ‘comments’ thread on Hayek and Pinochet. I am going to dedicate a long piece to this thread shortly. American Leftists are just classical liberals who have come to think of themselves as superior to their neighbors. Leftists in Europe and Latin America are murderous.
