Turns out experts don't have so much expertise after all; the zen and psychology of the tax code (and Rob's pitch for the flat tax); the evolution of the word "tranny"; Ricochet editors (Senik, Levy, and Gabriel) on their favorite member posts; Is the debate about Benghazi over?; a view of the U.S./ Israel relationship from the Israeli P.O.V.; and Lileks needs help finishing his limerick.

Music from this week's podcast:

Kind of A Drag by The Buckinghams

The Ricochet Podcast opening theme was written and produced by James Lileks.
