“Yeah, I had a discussion with some reason staffers about the substance and tone in which we might eulogize him. And I learned a rule from a colleague, which I like a lot, which is don't say anything after someone died that you didn't say while they were alive.”
Foolproof way of allowing yourself to say terrible things about someone after they die.

I generally enjoy these round-ups, with a mix of agreement & disagreement to tune of sharing knowledge & information. Something has gotten out of hand lately.

Please, please, PLEASE! Vinyl is great, music is great, CDs are great, headphones are great, speakers are great but one thing that isn’t great is a neophytic cl... more

Katherine and Peter should have their own podcast where they can talk in dorky millennial meme-speak and Nick and Matt can keep this one where they talk like normal people.

Really enjoyed having a British perspective this week, but for the love of god, you have to stop using terms like 'TDS'. Giving it credence is embarrassing. You sound like you're sucking off DT, too afraid to fully criticize this asinine administration and many of the clearly unconstitutional, anti libertarian, anti liberalism actions. WAKE UP.

What is The Reason Roundtable about and what kind of topics does it cover?
