My Canadian counterpart does a fine job this morning taking apart our new Galtian overlords. I like to think of conservatism and libertarianism as informed philosophies. Republicanism wants to be seen as anything but, so fuck them. Perhaps that makes me an elitist. I like to think it does.

Food for thought….
After the first of next year the campaign for the White House will begin in earnest it would seem. Politico,taking a break from its job as mouthpiece for the GOP, points out that all the likely candidates will have one thing in common: Lack of military service. Of the 16

Shopping Mall remains firmly rooted in the 19th century: I wrote about Sherri Williams v. Alabama in 2005 (“Do You Have an Rx for That Vibrator?“), describing the battle Sherri fought to keep her Pleasures stores open after Alabama banned sex toy retail “for immoral purposes” from the state.

The mighty war hummer on the job. For once the Norfolk media drove in some other direction than towards Oceana. To visit the working man’s Navy. Be sure and make your Air Force friends watch this-the smaller, much more capable version of the AWACS:

Scott Adams imagines a world without political parties: I’m fascinated by the fact that the freedom to organize into political parties limits our other freedoms more than most people realize. Political parties make the government incompetent, and the result of ineffective government is that citizens are less prosperous. Poverty is
