These quotes from Bob Barr suggest he wants U.S. troops out of the Middle East – and into Latin America. This seems to me yet further evidence for my claim that if Barr wins the nomination, the LP’s soul is irretrievably lost.
In related news, anybody notice a glaring omission in this story about the LP nomination?
See my college roommate Paul Fine, composer of the Kant Song, in a short video clip explaining how he can teach at the University of Michigan but root for Ohio State.
P. S. – You can also see him singing about a shovel.

Last Friday I presented a revised version of my talk “On Making Small Contributions to Evil” to the Auburn Philosophical Society.
This coming weekend I’ll be presenting a paper on “Herbert Spencer, Gustave de Molinari, and the Evanescence of War” at a panel on “The Libertarian Antiwar Tradition from the 1930s to the 1950s” at the Historians Against the War conference in Atlanta. Fellow panelist David Beito will be presenting ”Zora Neale Hurston, Rose Wilder Lane, and Isabel Paterson on Race, War, Individualism, and the State.”
Cavilers may object that Spencer and Molinari weren’t strictly 1930s-50s era guys. Well, Brian Doherty was going to present something topically relevant but had to back out, so I’m replacing him and had to throw something together at the last minute, and this is it.
If your license plate shows you belong to the right gang, no traffic tickets for you. (Conical hat tip to Tom Ford.)
I am shocked! shocked! etc.
From Neil Gaiman’s blog, a film clip revealing, possibly, two newly identified self-portraits of Leonardo.
Just finished watching the Galactica season premiere. I don’t want to say anything spoileriffic about it, because one of my favourite readers hasn’t even seen season 3 yet! (Said reader should probably avoid looking at the comments section of this post….) But I have a hypothesis, and a prediction, as to why our gun-toting friend takes the action she takes in the last scene of tonight’s episode; my guess can be inferred from 1 Samuel 24: 8-13. We’ll see if I’m right next week.
