Evidently you CAN fool some people all the time
Three Webrings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.
One Webring to rule them all,
One Webring to find them,
One Webring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.(with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien)

- Russian ‘Think Tank’ ties to Cato even MORE SuspiciousLong time friends? I guess you could say that. Prime Ministers of Russia come and go, but love for Cato springs eternal, evidently.
- Merry Christmas from Howie RichIt really doesn't get any better than this: Cato Board Member's (Howie Rich) astroturf group (ALG) quotes a Cato "fellow" who, it is NEVER MENTIONED, founded the group ["Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis (IEA)"] ... They run the report through a British paper's Libertarian contrarian and then quote it as "new […]
- An Inconvenient PoofThis new "Russian" revelation is a Libertarian con. The founder and head of the Russian "Think Tank" that released this report is a Cato Institute fellow who was paid $150,000 in 2007, according to Cato's IRS 990 filing.
- Tax Cut and Runour infrastructure -- physical and financial -- has been destroyed by these people, and now we pay the piper for what has been, in effect, the world's longest running political Ponzi scheme -- tax cuts mostly for the rich, pretending to pay a dividend of "jobs" and "innovation," while living off the "equity" of our national […]

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."And, hast though slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
