You’re in the Agora
The Agora, the civic center and marketplace, was one of the most important parts of an ancient city of Greece. In addition to being a place where people gathered to buy and sell all kinds of commodities, it was also a place where people assembled to discuss all kinds of topics: politics, business, current events, or the nature of the universe and the divine.

The site looks great, and I’m looking forward to having a number of my regular reads on the same page for once.
I’ve just got one minor quibble… Only here, I suspect, would I ever be classified next to Hugh Hewitt and Mark Shea. My, my, but that’s odd.
In fact, Radley Balko, Jane Galt and I seem to be the only genuine libertarians of the group. What about maybe adding a link to Will Wilkinson, who works for the Cato Institute and writes some very interesting stuff? Or Virginia Postrel perhaps?
Just a thought…
