David Byrne is performing “Burning Down the House” live on the hotel’s stage, almost just outside my bedroom window, right now.

Blaming the Victims
My review of Bruce Bawer’s The Victims’ Revolution: The Rise of Identity Studies and the Closing of the Liberal Mind for Reason.com is now up.
Spoiler alert: I didn’t like it.
Fear and Loathing on the Gulf Coast
Tomorrow I’m off to the Alabama Philosophical Society to present a paper on the subject of the relation between virtue and temptation.
Libertarians Are Revolting!
I have a post on violence and revolution over at the Libertopia blog.
A Banner Day
I’ve just received the Molinari/C4SS banner.
No, not a digital banner – an actual physical six-foot-long vinyl banner, for our booth at Libertopia, plus some plastic thingies it’s supposed to hang from. It looks like this (click the pic for enhanced magnitude):
Now all we need to do is pay for the booth itself. And for Charles to get there. Please help us with that if you can, by clicking here.
Big FMAC Attack at Libertopia
The Molinari/C4SS/ALL crowd are planning our biggest presence yet at Libertopia next month. There’ll be a panel on Markets Not Capitalism on the main stage, featuring Gary Chartier, Charles Johnson, Sheldon Richman, and your humble correspondent. In addition, there’ll be individual talks by Gary (on “There’s War, and Then There’s Everything Else”), Charles (on “Ask An Anti-Capitalist!: A Freewheeling Q&A on Markets Not Capitalism, Left-Libertarianism, and Mutualist Ends Through Free-Market Means”), Sheldon (on “Market, State and Autonomy”), and myself (on “Race, Gender, and Anarchy”), as well as Markets Not Capitalism audiobook narrator Stephanie Murphy (on “Mutual Aid for the Modern World”); plus Charles is on an anti-IP panel with Stephan Kinsella. (Unfortunately, some of these events are scheduled opposite one another – the price of success, I guess. See the current schedule here.)
In addition, we’ll have an exhibitor’s booth (see our banner here) selling and promoting Markets Not Capitalism and other Molinari/C4SS/ALL literature.
Want to help fund a) Charles’ transportation to San Diego for his triple speaking gig, and b) the fee for our exhibitor’s booth? Chip in below!
