The Federalist recently celebrated its second birthday. In honor of this, we’re having a conference in a few hours, right now, earlier today, or last Friday, depending on when you read this. There are (or were) a number of interesting panel discussions and a happy hour.
If you’re around for happy hour, that’s when the most riveting discussion will happen, as I’ll be hosting a one-man panel on weird Twitter and also maybe on why geese are the worst animals on the planet and should be eradicated. It promises to be (or was) riveting, if perhaps a tad obtuse.

Thanks! I hope our discussion went well and you now understand why we need a federal program to eradicate all geese from the face of the earth. I know it seems like an extreme position, but there’s really no other choice. Have fun and be safe out there and know that if you drink Neal’s cocktails, you probably won’t be able to relate to this statement.
