Friend of liberty (and Cato) Declan McCullagh has a new column on CBSNews​.com called “[Other People’s Money](http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/politics/otherpeoplesmoney/main503363.shtml).”

With that moniker for the column, methinks he’ll be addressing Washington’s ways from an important but underrepresented perspective.

His inaugural column, “[Will U.S. Taxpayers Need a Bailout?](http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/14/politics/otherpeoplesmoney/main4522346.shtml)”, points out the perils of politically directed investments in the banking sector.
