From a policy gnome at Cato:

“but I would stack any random intern from Reason or the Cato Institute against almost anyone at the Center for American Progress when it comes to arguing philosophy.”
Awwwwww… I’m getting all misty-eyed–I’m a random intern from Cato and I’m S-M-R-T!
But it’s true, we do learn our stuff here. The intern program here at Cato is designed so that we don’t leave without reading and discussing a whole helluva lot of Locke, Hayek, Friedman, etc., etc. I mean, what would interns at CAP or Brookings read–Sontag, Naomi Klein, the NYTimes op-ed page? I’ll take the real stuff, thanks.
ps. this goes without saying, but please don’t use my name if this goes on the Corner–thanks.
