Two quick points. First, a quick thanks to (apparent Talking Points reader) Jerry Balsam for getting this site mentioned in this week’s New Yorker, in the Talk of the Town section (“An E-Mail Bombardier“).
Second, a reader writes in a with a good point. Maybe I sold myself short in this earlier post. Why can’t I have an institute too? We could call it the Talking Points Institute and it could have like a Middle East Division. Or maybe a special Middle East chair. Like I said, everyone seems to have one now. You can even hire lackeys for peanuts. It’s great.
