Reason’s election-season issue (December) is out now, with a feature on whom libertarians should vote for (a question David Weigel and Katherine Mangu-Ward put to Markos Moulitsas, Grover Norquist, and other partisans). The issue also includes my double-review of Damon Linker’s book and Patrick Hynes’s In Defense of the Religious Right. And on the back page, Jesse Walker has a short piece on the National Guard’s “flat daddy” program to give children of soldiers stationed in Iraq cardboard cutouts of their fathers (or mothers, in some cases) to keep them company. Another achievement of the great war for democracy: Potemkin families.
