Is Henry Farrell Sane or Insane?

Is Henry Farrell especially sane or especially insane?

Crooked Timber: [M]y mental model of Tyler [Cowen] often sits on my shoulder while I blog, making polite and well reasoned libertarian criticisms of my arguments...

I must say, the first thing I thought when I read that was that Tyler Cowen must be a notably small man . . .

[RT]

I'm not sure I trust Cowen even on ethnic restaurants anymore. Maybe he just eats at a better stratum of restaurant than I do, but still: he's been dissing one of my favorite Tex-Mex restaurants, Taqueria Poblano in Del Ray (Alexandria, VA) for years.

A few weeks back, my companions and I made the ill-fated decision to eat at Cactus Cantina, the 'upper Georgetown' political celeb hangout. (As in, the place where Wonkette reports that Laura Bush, Condi Rice, Mary Matalin, Margaret Spellings and Harriet Miers were recently at a surprise party for Karen Hughes. *That* Cactus Cantina.) Let's just say that the food there reminded me of just how good Taqueria Poblano actually is, and why I shouldn't take restaurants of that quality for granted, the way Cowen apparently does.
