Would Anyone in Los Angeles Like This Invitation?
City Journal sent me this invitation to Steven Malanga's book forum in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the 26th. I'd go, it sounds great, and apparently there's food and drinks involved, but I'm in Istanbul, so I can't.
I hate for the invitation to go to waste, though, so I thought I'd offer it to one of you, or to all of you, because I don't want to play favorites. I checked with City Journal, and they said it was fine with them if I invited every Ricochet member in Los Angeles (which I thought awfully nice of them).
Here are the details:

SHAKEDOWN: The Continuing Conspiracy Against the American Taxpayer

BRIAN ANDERSON
Editor, City JournalHow did American government get so big and so expensive? Steven Malanga gives the answer in Shakedown, a chilling history of the expansion of the public sector. A self-interested coalition of public employees’ unions and government-financed community activists has bankrupted state and local governments. Through increased government spending and backroom entitlement deals with politicians, this new political powerhouse is filling its coffers at the expense of taxpayers. The bill for this conspiracy against the American taxpayer is now coming due.

Re: Would Anyone in Los Angeles Like This Invitation?
If I weren't going to be on the right side of the country, I would arrange a visit to the office in Irwindale just so I could attend.
Bad timing for me.

So hop a plane!
Anyway, I'm LA-based. Can I go?
