Nick’s a good friend (and of fine conservative lineage by the way). A little more background. Nick Schulz and I used to work together along with Ronald Bailey, now of Reason magazine. But I put it to readers of the Corner to pay very close attention to what Schulz writes. For years Ron and I have been trying to claim Schulz for the conservative and libertarian camps (AKA the light and dark sides of the Force, respectively). Nick refuses to disclose his full his true nature (so maybe he’s actually a Straussian?). By the end of the summer it’d be nice to definitely settle the issue once and for all.
