Jets to Canada
Along with Tom Palmer, Gene Healy, Don Boudreaux and distinguished non-blogging others, I’m off to Quebec City for the Cato University seminar on the “Art of Persuasion.” Blogging forecast: 65% chance of light blogging; 35% chance of none. Depends on the hook up in le Château Frontenac.
Tom, being a St. John’s man, has been revisting the classics of rhetoric. I, not being a St. John’s man, have been revisiting Rodney Stark on conversion, George Lakoff on political mental models, and the social network and diffusions of innovations literature. I promised Tom I wouldn’t give a talk that sounds like it ought to have a title like “Prolegomena to a Hermeneutics of Meme Exchange,” and I won’t!, but it’s been a real challenge distilling all this stuff into something engaging and accessible. Wish me luck!

You’ll find the internet connection in the room very fast, if you’ve got a laptop with an ethernet port and $C12.95 (um, about, $US8.29) per day.
Posted from the Chateau Frontenac after a brisk and invigorating walk in Quebec’s wonderful fall air.

Don’t forget to make the Nanny-statist’s hair curl by enjoying a Poutine. Best stuff is at “Dixie Lee” an alternate-universe french KFC.
The cheese curds are like bubble gum, let me tell you!

If your forecasting is as accurate as the local weather man’s in Houston, Texas, then you’ll probably end-up blogging maniacally.
