Winning the Future, One Listserve at a Time

I went to sleep wondering how this whole Win the Future thing from President Barack Obama's State of the Union address was going to work. In my inbox this a.m., a link with the solution!

Winning the future means joining an email list! And possibly tweeting something!

But wait, I think that means I already won the future when I signed up for Newt Gingrich's email list at American Solutions for Winning the Future, the website connected to his 2005 book Winning the Future (what else?).

Man, winning the future is harder than it looks!

More ways to win the future throughout history—and probably more email lists to join—from Reason Contributing Editor Dave Weigel.
