Okay BTP fans, anyone who happens to be near San Francisco can hear me talking about my book, The Conservative Nanny State: How the Wealthy Use the Government to Stay Rich and Get Richer. I'll be at Modern Times Bookstore, 888 Valencia (in the Mission), 7:30 Wednesday evening. If you can't make it, remember you can always download a free copy or purchase the paperback at www.conservativenannystate.org.
