Writes Will Sitz: "The category is "p"eople (all names begin with the letter p):
"'For $800: This physician ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988 as as a Republican in 2008.'
"It was (thank goodess) answered correctly!"
Writes Adam Muntner: "I have started referring to the two gangster parties as Crips (Blue) and Bloods (Red). As in,
Nancy Pelosi (Crip-CA)
John McCain (Blood-AZ)
And his new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto, is "already a major bestseller," says Wolf Blitzer.

Professor Sabrin, a Ron Paul Republican running for the US Senate in New Jersey, is putting a big bet on a longshot in the Kentucky Derby. If he wins, the rotten Republican establishment loses. (Thanks to Max Raskin.)

Thousands to cheer Ron and his message of freedom in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, where he is campaining, much to the Charlotte Observer's astonishment.
LRC's old design, which dates from 1999, needs a freshening or a complete redo. If you have experience with news/commentary site design, or know someone who does (and who is not too expensive!), please email me.
The "D.C. Madam," who was convicted of running a prostitution
ring that included many members of "the Washington establishment"
and threatened to reveal their names in court, was found dead yesterday in Florida, the victim of what some newspapers are calling an "alleged" suicide.
I love Sir Ronald Syme's The Roman Revolution, which takes an approach that Murray Rothbard appreciated. Writes Syme: "The subject of this book is the transformation of state and society at Rome. It...records the rise to power of Augustus and the establishment of his rule, embracing the years 44-23 B.C. The period witnessed a violent transference of power and property; and the Principate of Augustus should be regarded as the consolidation of the revolutionary process. Emphasis is laid, however, not upon the personality and acts of Augustus, but upon his adherents and partisans. The composition of the oligarchy of government therefore emerges as the dominant theme of political history...; it is something real and tangible, whatever may be the name or theory of the constitution."
Read this great book, though study of the "composition of the oligarchy of government" tends to be excoriated as conspiracy theorizing, by the paid agents of oligarchs.
The Amazon tax is meeting some resistance in the state of New York as Amazon.com is suing to try to stop it.
The state is claiming that because Amazon partners with retailers in NY, Amazon needs to collect taxes.
Amazon.com’s lawsuit argues that New York State is overstating the retailer’s presence here. In legal papers, Amazon.com argues that if it can be forced to collect sales taxes, there is no reason that any other out of state retailer, Internet-based or otherwise, that runs television or radio advertisements in New York, shouldn’t have to.Two legal experts said they expected Amazon.com to win.
I hope so, too!
It likes my Sacred Then and Sacred Now: The Return of the Old Latin Mass.
Writes Janice: "Nice piece and I agree whole-heartedly about pseudo publications. I will subscibe to Liberty, but I must tell you that what I read on Lew Rockwell is masterful. If I cannot finish all of the reading, I will print an article to read on the go. I cannot help myself in saving them. I need to organize them by date.
"Your writers educate with facts and describe the therories behind their statements. It is at times like reading someone's thesis. I do appreciate the blog for also gathering articles from other sites or papers that I would have
otherwise have missed.
"Great job. 'We SHALL overcome.'"
It's news at the LA Times that Paulians can't stand the fascist neocon warmongering Keynesian parasite for the state.

The Revolution will debut at #14 (out of 15), but as we know, that is only the beginning.
From a comment at Free NY:
Congratulations on the use of FUBAR in a sentence. I’ve been trying to fit that acronym into my daily oratory for several years, but never could find the correct delivery.I went to the Steven Colbert event at UB a few weeks ago. The applause given to each candidate, at the mention of their name, was amazing. As a peasant folk, I was relegated to the bleachers where the students readily secured their bongs and tightly rolled papers in anticipation of any mention of Obama. Meanwhile, the bourgeois fare congregated on folding aluminum chairs on a flat of concrete, reserved for those with an accountant aptly able to convert their presence at this event into a tax write-off. In an effort of full disclosure, I’m using the event as a tax write-off too (for entirely selfish reasons).
Anyway, Colbert asked the audience which Demonrat they supported. The bleachers erupted with ear-shattering applause, and considerable lighter flicking, when Obama’s name was called. The announcement of Hillary’s name resulted in a monotone golf clap from the aluminum chair sitters. At this point Colbert verbalized the obvious:
1 - Obama voters are pretty much clueless.
2 - Hillary voters are just as clueless, but have more money, and aren’t nearly as stoned and drunk as the obama crowd.Thankfully, McCain received the worst response from the crowd. I guess there isn’t anything wrong with blinded, outright hatred, of a republicrat at a college function, especially when he wants to start another 100 year war.
I look forward to not voting for any of the FUBAR candidates in November. Is there a greater waste of time than walking into the voting booth?
