• Smallpox vaccine might inhibit the Aids virus.
• Shifting the Two Minutes’ Hate: ‘Iraq Iran is supplying al-Qaeda and must be stopped!’
• Virtual federalism.
• From safe republic to unsafe empire.
• Questioning your ‘compassionate’ politics.
• Just like repealing Prohibition: as marijuana becomes more legal, the violence of the drugs trade goes down.
• Scotus hearings need not be ‘hollow charade’. I don’t think Kagan’s good on the Constitution but true.
• Prediction: no GOP landslide. Of course I don’t want the mainstream Republicans back and don’t believe them when they imitate us libertarians like in the ’90s (now in the form of co-opting the Tea Party). Anti-Tea Party (pointing out some of its faults, leaving out its red-state militarism and anti-immigrant views), anti-libertarian article (the Maine platform looks good to me: ‘Ron Paul’s a nut and so am I’).
• Why the anti-incumbent wave? The depression for one, which almost killed my 15-year job and company a year ago so we’re being good free-marketeers and retooling from a newspaper to an online-video news service to try to capture changing demand.(Like being high-tech bloggers.)
