It seems that we will have [some company](http://nyc.indymedia.org/en/2008/05/97072.html) on Thursday for the 2008 Friedman Prize Dinner in New York City. [I’ve met these Bolivarian groups before](https://www.cato.org/2008/03/31/meet-the-latin-american-left/) in similar circumstances. Don’t expect much dialogue from them.
