Colorado House Bill 1142

...will force minor political parties to participate in the primary process. To their credit, the Rocky Mountain News editorial board thinks it's a bad idea. Scroll down to 'The Party of Principle' to read what I think about it.

My spouse has suggested that those who don't like meat could make a
contribution in PETA's name to some organization that helps improve human
health by experimenting on animals.

Arthur D. Hlavaty

Well, that's a marvelous idea!

Eat an Animal for PETA Day!

March 15th! Count me in. In case you wonder, I'm thinking steak, grilled outdoors, no matter the weather.

Radley Balko,

...otherwise known as The Agitator, has a series of six posts detailing AG Ashcroft's anti-freedom actions. He summarizes:

Seems to me, one could have made one of two conclusions vis-a-vis Ashcroft at the time: either he's a racist, or he's a principled "states' rights conservative," willing to weather the racist label in order to uphold the principles of federalism.
Seems clear to me now that Ashcroft doesn't give two shits about states' rights or federalism (see the five posts below). Seems to me he's hellbent on imposing his morality on the rest of us, the Tenth Amendment be damned.
Draw your own conclusions.

As I've said before, there's no way anyone calling himself a libertarian can be happy with this administration. Balko's Ashcroft series is enlightening for those who think otherwise.
