(1) Matt Continetti goes yard writing about the Zuckerberg-baby-charity-bonanza:
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will be structured not as a nonprofit but as an LLC, allowing it to invest in start-ups, make money as well as hand it out, and engage in “philanthropic, public advocacy, and other activities for the public good.” Only someone worth $45 billion could pass off a lobbying campaign—excuse me, “public advocacy”—as charity. And if Zuckerberg doesn’t follow through on his pledge, if he decides 3 or 10 or 20 years from now that Max (not to mention her potential siblings) needs more than $450 million in walking around money after he has departed for the big server farm in the sky, what happens then?
(2) Santino’s chapter from Christmas Virtues is up and it’s great.
(3) Last chance to RSVP for Christmas Virtues at AEI. Hope you can make it if you’re in town.

Speaking of odds and ends, I just wanted folks to know that if they haven’t purchased the “Virtues” trilogy yet, they can do so on the Templeton Press website and take advantage of the awesome ‘buy three for $50’ offer. I just took the plunge (because I’m lame and waited this long to buy all three books) and I can’t wait until I get my Christmas package in the mail!!!
Do your holiday shopping and buy all three 🙂

Sorry, my bad!!!
I did pay $35 which is even a better offer (plus a couple of bucks for shipping.) Don’t forget to use the code “Virtues2015” when checking out!
I think I was drunk when I wrote that first comment 🙂
I can’t wait for all three books to arrive in the mail.
You rock.

It’s “Buy Three for $35!”
Please tell me you didn’t pay $50…
