Did you hear about the dyslexic insomniac agnostic, who lay awake all night wondering if there was a DOG? Seriously, let us get a sense of reality back into what we talk about. Why do we regard a dollar as something of value? Why let central banks, who officially hold that their paper notes are legal tender, work to devalue the thing that will be our true money? Why do we continue acquiescing in government, let alone actually consenting to it?

Keen-eyed observers of the Mad Scientist wing of the American military research complex have noted that the Pentagon is at it again. With so many billions of taxbucks tied up in building last century's mega-weaponry, such as fighters and bombers and aircraft carriers and space-based surveillance and assault platforms, one would think there would be nothing left over for dabbling in the development of "non-lethal" esoteric futuristic Weapons of Mass Derision. One would be wrong.

In what must be one of the few fun-filled functions in the otherwise beastly boring lives of bureaucrats, undercover operatives try to sneak weaponry through airport checkpoints to test how good Transportation Security Administration screeners are at finding guns, bombs and knives. At half a dozen airports around the country, TSA employees were so uncharacteristically successful that it naturally triggered an investigation to see if they were cheating on their tests. Sure enough, they had been tipped off by their buddies that the fun-filled functionaries were coming. People were shocked. Who knew that the TSA was supposed to find guns, bombs and knives?

1. He Supports the Constitution.

2. He Believes In Religious Freedom.

3. He Has Never Voted For A Tax Increase.

First, clean up your own house. Be glad that Hillary does not live with you and you don't have clean up after her.

There are several special interest high profile taxbuck-funded long-running campaigns to report on, and most of these so-called WarOns are going quite well for the bureaucracies that run them and the bureaucrats who directly benefit from them. Item: War On Poverty. This war has been a very successful project for the Lefty-whimpery-whiny social welfare crowd since President Johnson launched it in 1964. Because of the various change-as-needed definitions of "poverty" the program will never run out of "welfare fodder."

From time to time a pint-sized parcel of property dubbed District of Columbia is heard to agitate for statehood. Considering that its capital, Washington, which is of course also the capital of a whole nation/empire/allegedly Free World, would have the same city limits as the state would have state lines, we’re talking more city-state than state. Still, it seems only inevitable that this odd-shaped shard of landscape will eventually snatch the status of tiniest state from the grip of Rhode Island, so perhaps a hank of history would be helpful here.

Translating the above gobblygook, it indicates that someone clicked on a link to us from one of LewRockwell.com's Gary North's articles. So, being slightly ego stroked I wandered over to the story in question to see what they had to say about us. Except there was nary a link to us there. Nor does there even seem to be any reference to Crockett or Paul, which would at least give sustenance to the, “There was a link, but it's now been removed.”

So, what gives?

Sure, setting up a 'bot, or a proxy filter, or a dozen other methods to change the Referer field is dead simple, but that really falls into Black (or at best Dark Grey) Hat SEO tactics [1]. Which is rather unseemly, and highly annoying, given the tiny population of the libertarian web space. And it was from Lew!

Traditional amusement parks are themed to cartoon characters or movie studios or magic kingdoms or even country music like Dollywood and Opreyland. New ones are all about politics. Two examples are "Stalin's World" and "Caminata Nocturna." Built near Vilnius, Lithuania, Stalin's World reproduces Soviet Communist Hell. Caminata Nocturna (Night Hike) is a Mexican theme park that simulates the experience of sneaking across the US-Mexican border. These are real. They're way too outrageous to make up. Which means that any day now we'll be seeing internet pop-up ads for these fun filled venues: Welcome to Xtreme Lib-Zone USSA, Grampa Gore's Inconvenient WarmWorld, Live Free at LibertarianLand.

It appears, from reading public reports on the matter, that the very people in charge of keeping our officially governmentally designated endangered species free from endangerment can't catch a clue. Perhaps it's because their generation grew up permanently parked before interminable Saturday morning cartoon shows where they were repeatedly taught that animals are just cute little peoplelike creatures who can talk and sing and dance and knock one another on the noggin without enduring damage.

Latest bizarre* search phrase to bring someone to our site:

“if I have a warrant for my arrest in texas, can I get a Drivers License in california”

Here's the short answer for you, “Sure, as long as you don't mind a stay in the California pokey with a resultant trip back to Texas to satisfy the warrant!”

The following data was gleaned from heavily redacted documents obtained through the little-known Freedom of Information About Really Stupid Wasteful Military Boondoggles Act. Fort Clonefield Genetic Warfare Research Labs developed a method for identifying and extracting the human Nationality Stereotype Gene, or NSG. Government scientists first isolated an American NSG and injected it into several "volunteer" Iraqi Enemy Combatants at Guantanamo. The American NSG caused the Iraqis to start playing poker and smoking cigars on Saturday night, lying about their sexual exploits and getting into fistfights over the superiority of Ford versus Chevrolet pickup trucks.

This is the kind of threat that can arise occasionally in any city or town across the world: the threat of rampant absurdity. People go crazy occasionally. They do crazy things. Sometimes they even set cars on fire....

While libertarian George Phillies equates the mercenary with the child molester, another libertarian flipped that recipe like a flapjack and ended the military draft in America. In his book "Radicals for Capitalism" Brian Doherty whets our palettes with a tasty tale of Milton Friedman who served on the government commission that ended the draft in 1973. Opposed to ending conscription, General Westmoreland stewed over the prospect of leading an army of mercenaries. According to Doherty, a verbal food fight broke out.
