From the Manhattan Institute:

BIG-THINK POLICY IDEAS FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE

Deeply versed in the nuances of policy,

Rich, these folks are as nuanced as a chainsaw buzzing through the Mona Lisa.

"Big Think suggestions"? Like starving children of the poors?

I happen to like Josh Barrow. He's not half bad at all and certainly shouldn't be lumped in with the rest of those mental midgets.

The slogan of the Manhattan Institute: "Turning intellect into influence."

Step 1. Acquire intellect.

Step 2. Strangle it.

Yes. Josh Barro is OK. Avik Roy and Reihan Salam are certifiable sociapaths and liars. The rest I have no idea.

Googled Meghan McArdle and found this wiki entry.

**In 2012, David Brooks called McArdle one of the most influential bloggers on the right**

So she must be a total idiot.

Good morning, Mr. Glass.

"What is the future of conservatism? Which ideas should it champion? What policies should it embrace?"

Note: the answer to the first question will completely contradict the answers to the second and third questions.

Enjoy your day.

Are you sure that's not a verbatim transcript of the entire panel?
