Just in case you hadn’t noticed the ad that often appears over there to the right of the page with my goofy mug on it, I’m going to be in Colorado Springs next week giving a luncheon talk for the National Review Institute. If you’re in the area, please do sign up and come on by. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it and it’s for a good cause to boot. If it helps grease the skids, here are instructions on how to turn Mountain Dew into glow-in-the-dark thingamajigs. If you really like my talk, you can hold them up afterwards like cigarette lighters at a Foreigner concert.

Update: NOooooooooo! The Mountain Dew thing is a hoax according to Snopes. Well, my speech isn’t!
