UPDATE: I screwed up two parts of the announcement on the LPD convention--take note!

Thanks to Tom for pointing out that I got the day wrong (it's Saturday 23 August not Sunday) and didn't actually insert the link.

Here is the right information (Jeez, I hope):

The LPD annual convention will take place on Saturday, 23 August, at the East End Cafe in Newark, DE (hit the link for directions).

This is a change from Crossroads Restaurant due to an unanticipated temporary closing.

But the really good news is that you can buy likker at the East End Cafe....

What's on the agenda?

Greetings from other Libertarian Parties across the nation

At least two candidates asking for our endorsement (one Statewide and one for the General Assembly)

Election of State Officers

Bill Morris on global warming....

Deep discussions of future strategy....

Much drinking and conviviality.

Yeah, I actually wrote conviviality, because I haven't been doing much drinking today.

If you are a Libertarian, might have libertarian leanings, hate motorcycle helmet laws, think you should be able to toke in your own home, worry about the price of America's foreign empire, or just want to take a look at the freaks on display, come join us....

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...

More of This, Please

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...
