There is no law that applies to the President since he's in charge of the Unitary Executive. Duh. Chris Floyd elaborates on how screwed we are here.

Washington Post: "(Sibel) Edmonds's story has been almost uniformly ignored in the U.S. daily press. " That's certainly true. Why? WaPo: One possible explanation is that the heart of Edmonds's story remains unconfirmed. That's not true. Senator Charles Grassley said: "Absolutely, she's credible. And the reason I feel she's very credible is because people within the FBI have corroborated a lot of her story." Grassley made that statement in 2002. The WaPo article is from 2004. And we've learnt a...

it's been real~

Due to the fact that my DSL modem has taken leave of its functionality, I will be offline until Monday at the earliest. By early next week, I'll be back online. Until then, I'd ask all authors to please check the spam queue and release any legitimate comments.

Say, techie genius types, My boss Eric Garris has himself one a them bad ass digital recorder jammers for his TV. He wants me to tell him how to get the signal to his computer so he can youtube stuff from his dvr. The only way I know is to get a video card with a cable input and then get a program and play the whole thing and record it into the computer with one a them programs from download.com, but he says there's all kinda plugs out of the dvr and so I'm wondering if there's a way to just...

This talk was delivered recently at the University of Waterloo. It is entitled "Copyright vs Community in the Age of Computer Networks". I haven't heard the talk yet, but from the "Abstract" text, I would probably go much further than Stallman would. I don't concede that copyright (or patent, or any "Intellectual Property") was ever necessary, and always represents a state-granted monopoly over ideas, enforced by State violence. Anyway, check out Stallman's talk if you're starved for media...

House Caucus to Bush: No More Funding for War Meanwhile in the House the anti-war Out of Iraq caucus has announced it will no longer vote for any war funding unless the money is spent exclusively on withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.

Root is not afraid of taking hard questions. He is wrong on the war but no wimp.  Be polite and to the point.  I will start taking questions at a quarter till.  See Steve C.'s post for the link.  I'm at work and no damn time to screw around.  Update: This interview illuminates the differences between modal libertarians*and Rothbardian Anarchism without ever mentioning a word about theory.  And, yes, Wayne, we are that far apart.  Peace. Go listen to the Kubby/Smith debate from last week while...

I have recently published a very interesting article by the Toronto-born Israeli author and speaker Joel Bainerman entitled "One State Solution is Best". Having posted his article I decided to contact Joel for some follow-up questions which he kindly agreed to answer.  The result was rather interesting as Joel clearly assumed that I was part of some undefined "you guys" who are intereted in "scoring propaganda points" or that I had never set foot in Israel (I have, of course).  Please check...
