The Supremes declared that the cops must cop a search warrant from a judge before copping the blood of a drunk driving suspect.

Still under consideration at the high court, since February, is whether the state can swab our DNA without a warrant or without our explicit consent.

"You have to wonder about Nevada sometimes," Sheila Leslie wonders in her article's opening paragraph. "You'd think a libertarian state, proud of its history of quickie divorces and legalized prostitution, would not be squeamish about providing comprehensive sex education as part of its school curriculum."

She quickly concludes, "You'd be wrong."

“Reform politicians not only tend to be dishonest but stupidly dishonest—whereas the business politician is honest.

“I don’t see that Lazarus. History seems to show—”.

“Use your head, Ira. I don’t mean that a business politician won’t steal; stealing is his business. But all politicians are nonproductive. The only commodity any politician has to offer is jawbone.

Paul Krugman argues in a New York Times article "Raise the wage" that raising the minimum wage is a good idea because it's good policy, good economics and good politics for President Obama.

Krugman notes "the minimum wage is one of the most studied issues in all of economics."

What Krugman doesn't note is that this allows everyone to cherry-pick which study "proves" or "disproves" one's position on the minimum wage.

I've listened to people talk on and on about how it's cheap to go down into Central and South America, but I - being a single white female am not going to haul ass down there among a bunch of strangers and stand out like a sore thumb. The only way I'd consider (without other options) going down that way was if I knew people there already - either locals/natives or others who are already well established, etc., and I don't, and don't foresee attempting to.

Dear gun controllers of America,

Every one of you learned the libertarian non-aggression principle in Kindergarten. What happened to you?

Here are some facts libertarians and other gun rights advocates want you to know about guns.

Yesterday members of the Free State Project sent New Hampshire State Rep. Cynthia Chase a "thank you" card and flowers for the free media coverage generated by her anti-freedom comments because they expect it will boost their recruiting efforts.

Ever since the Connecticut massacre of innocent children politicians have been posturing about ending the "Gun culture" that "glorifies gun violence."

But libertarians know that the single most violent institution in the world today is the United States government.

So does that mean politicians will end our "glorification of gun violence" by ending our senseless wars and our obsessive empire building?

Besides raising millions of dollars for a praiseworthy cause the second half hour of 121212 The Concert for Sandy Relief served as a metaphorical stereotype for liberals and conservatives.

Both ideologiesare groupthink oriented, the left believing that "society" or "public" is a single organism with persons as little more than molecules in a living body while the right holds to "family" or "religion" as its single enduring entity while individuals merely come and go.

The difference is in the attitudes they bring to their existence.

The Liberty Coalition declares "We are a Liberty & Peace grassroots group running independent candidates & causes outside the rigged Two-Party System and its Registered Parties."

A personal letter to libertarians...

Some readers took exception to an article I wrote that asked, "Are Ron Paul Republicans hijacking the libertarian movement?"

Libertarians started the Tea Party movement and mainstream Republican Party operatives hijacked it.

Dissident young liberals started the Occupy movement and mainstream Democratic Party operatives hijacked it.
