Monday, April 9, 2007From the (Electronic) MailbagThree blog-related items arrived by e-mail last week. These three very different blog-related items came to me via e-mail last week. I received an invitation to a meeting next week with Representative Chris Cannon (R-Utah) and a bunch of Utah political bloggers. I'll say more of this, perhaps, after the meeting. Meanwhile, the Politic20.com folks say they invited me because "we saw your blog as a blog that is updated frequently, [and] you've got some insight into what you're writing about." (Who knew? I have "some insight.") A presumably well-meaning fellow from Draper, Utah, responded to an unrelated blog post by sending me an unbelievably long discourse on the present advance of Communism in the United States. I skimmed it very briefly. Did you know that much of President George W. Bush's agenda is straight from the commie playbook? (No, I didn't either. I still don't.) I hope the fellow doesn't mind that I didn't read his treatise carefully. Some months ago a young lady, a senior at Grantsville High (somewhere in Tooele County), wrote to ask me some questions about price ceilings. She had read an old blog post about price controls and gasoline, where I said that imposing the former on the latter is a stupid idea. I stayed up even later than usual that night replying to her, and I also recommended some good readings on the subject. Last week she e-mailed to thank me. It seems her Future Business Leaders of America team studied up, took state, and is headed to nationals in Washington, DC. (Yes, I think she really is grateful, even if she did also mention in passing that the cost of the trip is $800 per student. By the way, if your business wants to contribute, let me know and I'll put you in contact with her.) That was three, so we're done. Copyright 2007 by David Rodeback. |
