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 — ...

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...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point:  Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo:  Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1.       Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...
