I'm going to be honest with you, Glenn. I'm not keen on the closer relationship with the Manhattan Institute. I know you're conservative and not crazy-conservative; I don't agree with you on all things but I do like how center-right you appear to be (am I wrong?) I'm not that keen on the MI. I've only just begun to look into them because I'm aware of them as a right wing 'think tank' but so far, I don't like how they've been funded at some times by the Koch Brothers (that tells you a lot right there) and this is what Media Bias Fact Check has to say about them - "We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to a lack of transparency with funding, use of poor sources, and a failed fact check."
I have to think about this some more. I don't mind supporting *you*, I think you're doing great work, but it says something to me that you choose to align yourself more closely with them. It says something about *you*.

I'll continue to research this.
Nicole,
Very thoughtful response. Heather McDonald is a fellow at MI you should look up.
