Just kidding, Mrs. Williams! 
I may get to meet Walter Williams tomorrow at the Cato Institute’s “Affirmative Action after Michigan” policy forum. Williams will moderate a panel of speakers representing different organizations (People for the American Way? Aren’t they communists?) If you’re in town, I’ll see you there. If not, you can listen or watch live online.
You might hear my disembodied voice asking a question on the pretense of challenging one of the speakers, but all I’m really doing is plugging my blog. Confession is good for the soul. Just kidding…
This is a wonderful opportunity to listen, learn, take notes and gather material for blogging and column-ing. And network. Blurb from Cato:
One year after the Supreme Court decided twin affirmative action cases involving the University of Michigan, colleges across the country have retooled their systems to comply with the Court’s decision. Because legal questions about preferential admissions policies are largely settled, policymakers must focus on important recent studies about the practical effects of affirmative action. Does affirmative action raise the incomes of minority students? Does it reduce minority graduation rates at selective schools? Join several scholars for a crucial update on recent legal and policy developments.
I’m going to pretend to be somebody important and try to get involved in the discussion. The forum begins at 4:00 p.m. EST with a reception to follow. That’s when I’ll make my move!
Just kidding, Mrs. Williams!
