Happy to be an Urbane Libertarian

I’m surprised none of my colleagues have commented on this, but one of the interesting throw-away lines in Jamie Kirchik’s Ron Paul expose in The New Republic is his calling certain Ron Paul supporters as being “nothing like the urbane libertarians who staff the Cato Institute or the libertines at Reason magazine.” I can’t speak for my fellow Cato-ites — and will let my friends at Reason comment on their moniker — but I for one will take “urbane” any day of the week and thrice on Sunday.
