Hello Again

Thanks to David for inviting me in for permanent residence here at L&P. I'm honored to be in such esteemed company.

Your Cliff's Notes bio of Radley Balko: I was recently hired as a policy analyst for the Cato Institute (read my first paper for them here). My issues include the range of"nanny state" issues, which would include alcohol and tobacco control, drug prohibition, obesity, and to a lesser extent, issues like gambling, pornography, seat belt and helmet laws, and such. It's pretty much a dream job for me, so I'm very excited.

I'm also a columnist for FoxNews.com, a regular contributor to Tech Central Station, and I run TheAgitator.com weblog. Browse a collection of my most recent writing here.

I went to Indiana University in Bloomington, where I studied journalism and political science.
