Gold Mine!

The thing that really stands out in the kerfuffle between David Frum and the American Enterprise Institute is this: Frum was making $100,000 a year for doing essentially nothing. Well, until AEI got tired of shelling out that kind of jack for his non-productivity.

Therefore, I’m going to start my own think tank. I want something that will really cover the political spectrum, so I figure it’ll have me...

It'll be just like printing money (only, you know, legal).
