The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
Two go for Ronald Reagan and two for Calvin Coolidge.
I'm thinking Air Traffic Controllers and Boston Police Strike, respectively. So, maybe they heard that Lincoln preserved the Union, and thought that meant a labor union . . .

Haha! This stuff writes itself.
Thanks for peering down into the intellectual sewer of NR, so that we don't have to.

It's a three part grudge about freed slaves, the New Deal, and the civil rights movement. It explains about 90% of conservatism.

William Henry Harrison makes the list on the Hippocratic Oath Rule: "First, do no harm."
If you develop pneumonia at your inauguration and die a month later, having been virtually incapacitated the entire time, you have done no harm.
So add Harrison as the "any government is bad" representative and you've covered all of the NRO brand of conservatism.

Don't knock Calvin Coolidge. I'm pretty sure he was the last president who, like Karl Marx and Duncan Foley, knew how to read Greek.
