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!

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

Soda tax debate reveals fundamental progressive assertions about your lack of individual rights and the "responsiblities" of the State

I thought it would be at least amusing to use the Delawareliberal comments as sub-headings regarding each category of what is wrong with the proposed tax on sodas and juice drinks. But there are so many different little strands of each comment that it would be impossible to pull them all out. So, instead, I'm going to let you read them in more or less the order they appeared, and note the assumptions. pandora: I’m perfectly okay with taxing sodas and juice drinks. Mainly because they’re total crap, and one of the main reasons our country’s children are overweight. They are also dirt cheap. Assumptions here: (1) Because "I" am perfectly okay with a new tax it should be imposed on everybody; (2) it is the government's responsibility to keep children from being obese; (3) the cheapness of the product to be taxed justifies charging people more for it.
