Summary

Jonah finds himself alone with the quadrupeds on today’s Ruminant as the Fair Jessica embarks on a grand European adventure. Isolated and caffeine-deprived, he’s in especially indulgent form as he rambles through a handful of interrelated topics. First up on the docket is a Supreme Court case that could scale back American bureaucracy, which prompts an extended discussion of how most of the problems we face in modern society can be attributed to a lack of self-government (whatever that means). Afterward, Jonah touches on the importance of institutions in a hyper-technological world, the dumbness of Republican and Democratic rhetoric around crime, and the improbable link between soup kitchens and Call of Duty chat rooms. Brace yourself for an extra-crotchety ride.

1:01.4	And then last couple of days, I've been just crazy hectic with all sorts of weird pressures, including I had to get this review of Patrick Deneins book done for the Acton Institute.
1:14.8	I just needed time to actually be alone with it.
1:18.9	You know, there are certain kinds of writing that you just can't do in bits and pieces.

1:30.6	So let's change gears.
1:32.8	One of the reasons why I'm sort of out of it is that so my wife for her birthday is going with her best friend from college to Amsterdam to see the Vermeer exhibit,
