One of the things I never learned is latin, but I trust this is accurate:
The regulator’s motto is “Dirigo, ergo sum” — I boss people around, therefore I am.

Parker North is a cluster of about 300 houses close to […]

I’m having an interesting discussion with Elad about what constitute “Free” and the dangers of regulating virtues for the “public good”. I was looking for a relevant example, and the story about the FCC appeal to the supreme court about previous ruling regarding the enforcement of the indecency act is a perfect match. I wrote […]

We should really be proud about the results of our “Nation Building” and “Spreading Democracy” into Afghanistan. Thank to us the Afghans now enjoy freedom of speech - they have the freedom to say whatever they want and the government in return:

This is a nice way to create a buzz and to expose a new service. I saw it on Cato@Liberty and couldn’t resist the temptation to check this blog rating. Apparently we are safe for all ages, and even Mr. Martin will approve this blog.

It is not that often that I regard a newspaper article, or opinion column, as very important to read. This week I was lucky enough to see two. The first, and probably the more famous, is the series of articles about the Vice President Cheney. I’m still reading it and I will probably have something […]

Well this should be the de-facto end of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform of 2002, and a victory for free speech:
