THANKS TO "EFFICIENT E," who some of you will remember as our Summer Intern around here, we've updated the "Who Is The Libertarian Jackass?" section of the site. What follows is a reproduction of what now appears in the right sidebar:

"LJ is one of the brightest minds to grace the halls of higher education. The proof is that he made his way out of there with broken hearts en tow. His use of political knowledge and quick wit provide quick answers to complex problems with such ease that you question what you have done with your life. His extensive knowledge of markets and the inner maneuverings go beyond economics or politics. Unable to be type cast, it would take 4 Academy Award winners to play LJ in the story of his life (and not those crappy winners for writing). His flair for the dramatic leaves people with an uneasy feeling, but I assure you that after working for him for the summer, you have plenty to feel uneasy about. His interests have never wavered from the highest of academic and personal standards. He has even been able to combine academic and personal interests if you count the secretary. For the improvement of the world, LJ offers his insights with the highest possible positive externality anywhere in the blogosphere." -- Former LJ.com Summer Intern, "Efficient E"

I don't know how long this will last, but you asked for a change . . .

By the way, congrats to "E" for walking the Mission Inn 5K Run/Walk with his mother. That's very sweet of you.
