When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.

Spike Lee's new documentary about Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermanth. I'm not really sure what all to write about it. I feel like I could write a thousand words, but really I could simply boil it down to: government is evil, and worse, a stupid idea. Insurance companies suck. Governments are incalcubly worse. Any one who wants anything from them is a fool. And what happend to New Orleans is a sad, sad story. If you don't have HBO, have a friend tape it for you like I did.

What exactly does the 1st amendment mean by “no law”?

Don’t be scared

Why would anyone support the American president at this point? The answer is simple: Cowardice. Republicans are sissies. They talk tough and drive trucks, but in truth are very afraid that a scary Arabic Islamo-Fascist

Campaign Wishes and Libertarian Dreams

Will the LP be the Texans or the Mexicans in this year's electoral Alamo? by Brian Doherty Reason Tom DeLay's political career really is over. The Texas courts won't let the Republican party simply replace DeLay on the ballot, even after the former majority leader went to the trouble of hammering several pipsqueak primary opponents for the right to cut and run. DeLay's crisis has robbed the GOP of a candidate in Texas's 22nd congressional district and presented an unusual opportunity to the...

Is there even a terrorist threat to this country at all?

And is that a strange question to be found in the pages of Foreign Affairs? Is There Still a Terrorist Threat? By John Mueller From Foreign Affairs, September/October 2006 Summary: Despite all the ominous warnings of wily terrorists and imminent attacks, there has been neither a successful strike nor a close call in the United States since 9/11.
