Final UPDATE: Completely non-political: lost doggie owner found

UPDATED: stupid me, forgot the location: Limestone Hills off Route Seven north behind Goldy Beacom College in Delaware.

OK so maybe this isn't the lost and found, but a wonderful young dog, barely more than a puppy, deposited herself on our doorstep yesterday.

She's an immaculately groomed shepard-Dobermann mix, brown and black with different colored eyes. She's maybe a year old, and exceptionally well-trained (responds to "speak," "sit," "heel," etc.)

Our kids have put out signs around the neighborhood and we've notified the vets, SPCA, Humane Society...

For a variety of reasons, we can't keep this amazing animal for more than a few days.

If anybody who reads this happens to know anybody who has lost this dog, please, please send them here.

Back to incessant political posturing now.

Can you post a cute wittle picture? I can see it now:

Delaware Libertarian: Defenders of Freedom and Lost Puppies.

Brilliant, Steve. Nobody can argue against puppies.

I hope that you find its owner.

I will post a photo but not until my 13 year old daughter gets home and shows me how to upload it from her Facebook page.

Well?

Tell us the story! Is the owner a Libertarian for life now?

You mean you share your political ideology with the owners of lost pets? Passing strange.

Candy was bought about a year ago by a man who later died; his wife is working two jobs to try to save their house. Candy slipped her leash three days ago, and she has been frantically driving around the neighborhood in her few off hours looking for the pup. Finally, this afternoon she saw one of the signs that my daughter and her friends put up.

It must be a really strange political ideology, now that I think of it, that makes your party identification relevant to doing a good deed.

Sorry, Steve. I should have put one of those smiley thingys. It wasn't serious.

But never let it be said again that a Libertarian couldn't be elected dog catcher. :) <-Smiley Thingy

Nothing like a nice human (or canine) interest story with a happy ending to break up the political posturing.

Thanks for the smile!

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
