Anthony Gregory Challenges Jacob Weisberg’s Argument
Mr. Weisberg has blamed libertarianism for the current economic crises. Young Mr. Gregory seems to disagree quite strongly. I wonder if Mr. Weisberg will respond back and defend himself. I hope so. This could be a great educational experience, watching an intellectually vigorous debate about important ideas and all that.

Crisis and Global Leviathan
Well, if the national governments of the world - led by ours - have destroyed the global economy, there's only one way to go: a World State. Well, that's the kind of thing you'll read in the Washington Post, anyway. (Ironically, the Post featured Peter Schiff getting it right just the other day.)

John “Menshevik” McCain Stole His Commie Mortgage Plan from Hillary Clinton
Man, you'd think he'd want to avoid sounding like such a Pinko on the eve of this election, especially with him having to live down all his efforts on North Vietnamese radio on behalf of Ho Chi Minh. I guess not.
Torturing Democracy
I think they must mean Democracy Torturing People. Anyway, read The Other Scott Horton about how State TV is suppressing this great Frontline documentary about the War Criminal Bush/Cheney regime. Hear a credible account of a man who heard a woman tortured to death a few cells down from his. Documents at their site too.
