  3. Some of Jon Stossel's work bears the hallmarks of the Apostle. He's better about explaining the market mechansims he thinks will work better than (some implementations of) regulation, which eases the "magic" aspect of his belief.

    My other favorite is the fusion of the Island and the Bizarrely Hypocritical. (Remember the "No government healthcare but keep your hands off my Medicare!"?)

    Thanks for the cartoon!
