Dear John Ensign,
I received your letter as the chairman of the Republican Presidential Task Force and I read it with great level of amazement. I wonder how disconnected is the GOP if you produce letters like this.
I have no interest in helping electing the presumed nominee, nor most of what the GOP has to offer [...]
George Will, my favorite political columnist, gave a speech in the Cato Institute to introduce his new book, One Man’s America: The Pleasures and Provocations of Our Singular Nation. It is, not surprising, a very interesting speech, and followed by interesting Q&A, and recommended watching.
Listening to Prof. Munger’s keynote speech in the LP convention made me jealous at the citizens of North Carolina that will have the chance for truly worthwhile Governor this november.

Federal law protecting websites “was not meant to [...]
One would assume that the Senate Majority Leader must know that taxes aren’t voluntary. I only wonder why he insist taking this rather peculiar line of argument instead of arguing the supposed necessity or supposed benefits of wealth distribution. At least among the few blog reader I take it for granted that we are all [...]
If Bob Barr will be the Libertarian nominee I would be denied the option of symbolic support to the Libertarian candidate.
The Libertarian party isn’t going to win the 2008 elections, and it shouldn’t nominate a social conservative candidate with the illusion of having the disappointed conservatives vote for the LP - it is not [...]
Whenever I think that nothing will surprise me someone like Mike Gravel shows up and prove me wrong. The former Democrat Senator from Alaska and former candidate seeking the democratic nomination joined the Libertarian party. One of the reasons he gave for seeking the LP nomination is:
The fact is, the Democratic Party today is no [...]
