Best of the 'blogs, week of 26 Sept to 4 October

A busy week for me in real life, so a slow week in the blogosphere, and I'm a little late on this one, too. But here's what I found:

In Arizona:

• Evan Lisull was arrested, and the charges were later dropped (my remarks on the matter),
  
• Martel Firing is still very wrong about CO2 (to learn why, begin with the IPCC report), but he's right about plug-in hybrids,
  Matt Brown reflects on the existence of the Public Defender's Office,
  Dave Hardy does the 'blog equivalent of a banner headline,
  and CLS's post on the interplay between social and legal progress is better if read in approximately reverse order.
  

Farther afield,

• Arnold Kling has very interesting remarks on money and Say's Law,
  
• Jason Kuznicki examines what is wrong with democracy,
  
• Ove Huelgh-Guldberg has an hilarious birthday card for Andrew Bolt,
  
• Megan McArdle appears to win her exchange with (Tulanian) Noam Scheiber regarding the workability of what amounts to single-sector market abolitionism,
  
• James Hanley knocks vulgar libertarian property theory out of the park,
  
• Radley Balko is a contender for best snark ever on the subject of a civil liberties case,
  
• and Jen Chung, on The Gothamist, reports on one man taking advantage of an interesting arbitrage opportunity.
