Talent Scouts

Over at A Nod To Nothing, Scooter has blogged about an online quiz purporting to map your feelings about government in your life. What he didn't point out is that the host site, politopia.com, is run by the Institute for Humane Studies. Said Institute, according to the Center for Media & Democracy, "acts as a libertarian talent scout" and is funded by such sources as the Sarah Scaife Foundation. And they really, really want your real name, email address, and student status when you take the quiz -- but trust them, it's only for fun! They're not really going to use it to recruit you, or share it with the other right-wing foundations housed in the same building. Trust them!
