From RR

• Libertarian calendar girls launch fundraising effort.
• Afghan official said to take bribe for copper deal.
• Arabs, US and UK criticise Israel’s Jerusalem plan.
• Judge: Army Corps of Engineers responsible for Katrina flood.
• How to make sure your your child’s name won’t be an international embarrassment. Like how phonetically Diarrhœa is pretty to a non-English speaker.
• The lesson of the Maersk Alabama: fire back!
• Can government be limited? I may be a minarchist instead but give anarchism a hearing. ‘Minarcho-Catholicism’ just doesn’t sound as cool.
• The Obama most folks thought they voted for is clearly MIA. They just weren’t paying attention. All they saw was his colour and like a ‘magical’ movie character (as famously described by Spike Lee) they projected on him. Which is what he wanted. It got him elected.
• Fed foolishly weakening the dollar.
• The Palin experience. I like her (and don’t like the people who hate her), she’s attractive and she has no business holding office.
• Palin = Quayle.
• A decade of war coming home to roost.
• Promoting democracy by the sword. Nothing new for the left.
• Scoundrel-defenders, line up here. To whittle liberty down, the politicians must target some group that the majority of people are loath to defend. The perfect companion to the lovely Niemöller speech the left like so much. Cue the Ken Burns soundtrack violins: First they came for the pimps and drug-dealers...
• UK: common sense isn’t common any more.
• Would-be expat guide to South America.
