Kevin Colby wants us to know that he’s a pro-death Libertarian. In reality, he’s not much of a Libertarian at all, violates the Libertarian Party pledge against advocating the initiation of force and needs a remedial course in English grammar! But what irked me the most was his use of the Libertarian Party logo on […]
Jon Eisenberg details the the Kafkaesque journey through the courts he’s had to take as a member of the Al-Haramain case legal team. Not Even Allowed to Keep Copies of his own Legal Briefs Between the filing of secret briefs he couldn’t even keep a copy of and Department of Justice technicians’ amateur attempts to […]
Why does this video (apologies for ad) of assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy Phillip Swagel remind me of the movie Fun with Dick and Jane? 438,000 Jobs Lost So Far in 2008 Yesterday’s report that 62,000 jobs were lost brought the total for the first half of the year to 438,000 jobs. Meanwhile, the […]
The Washington Post’s “The Trail” reports on John McCain’s latest “joke” on Iran: Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, “Maybe that’s a way of killing them.” Not only is this comment in bad taste, but it’s a strategic blunder.

Given the choices we face this year for President, it’s likely we will get another tax-and-spend, civil-liberties-eroding, foreign-adventuring head of state. And even if we don’t, and Bob Barr is elected, he will still need a Libertarian Congress if he’s to get much done. If it Works… The Republican Contract with America is generally believed […]
I’m thanking my lucky stars today that I don’t live in Sweden. “Why?” you ask? In Sweden, not only are the schools public property, but you also can not discriminate on public property! An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party. […]
Yesterday, Ron-Paul-supporting Republican party delegates in Nevada reconvened the state convention – by themselves. The delegate count was down from 1400 at the original, flawed convention in April to 300. Through creative use of the rules, they managed to declare a quorum anyway. Purely for Entertainment Value I don’t doubt that they’ll modify the Nevada […]
The fact is that McCain can’t get his story straight and won’t undo the harm of the Bush years. The fact is that Obama is just another politician who is already selling out his idealistic supporters. Bob Barr isn’t perfect, but he’s the best chance liberty- and peace-lovers have of ending the Iraq war, rolling […]
