Some quick hits on a bad day

No, it wasn't bad because yesterday was primary day.  I'll post on that probably tomorrow.  I'm having a wonderful day with a sinus infection, so here's a few tidbits to hold you over. . . .


1.  Mitt Romney's Afghanistan strategy is different from Barack Obama's, except that . . . they are both the same.  And they're both terrible.

2.  President Obama--that great advocate for civil liberties--believes that the government needs even more unaccountable surveillance powers.

3.  Democrats want Elizabeth Warren to retool her ads.  I wonder when they're going to figure that that she's just a bad candidate.

4.  Something really big hit Jupiter and exploded.  Which will get about as much press as the fact that President Obama has been the worst president for civil liberties in modern history (against stiff competition from W, but Barack has stayed the course to finish in first).

Oh-My-God! Steve. Are you even an American???

My gosh! We were attacked yesterday. And you call Romney an idiot for wanting to have a strong response to the attacks.

Hey Steve, I have an idea. Why don't you just hand our country over to the Islamists. Surrender Steve. I'm sure you'll do just fine under Sharia Law.

My gosh. I am this fucking close to ending our friendship. You suck dude. I am just ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED WITH YOUR COMMENT ON ROMNEY. A BIG FUCK YOU STEVE. A BIG FUCK YOU!

Eric, calm down.

Any friendship based on lies, needs to end. Steve is correct. You aren't

Romney has no plan. Period. Romney creates problems. Period. We need someone to solve them. Period. And it ain't Romney.

Your defense of him has me cracking up just thinking you think you are serious. It is like someone defending Bozo the clown as a good leader... I seriously doubt even one person takes you seriously.

You Romney follower you. The longer you stay, the worse you look. Just sayin' for your own good.

I originally came to the comment page to say thank you for number 4 Jupiter. I would have missed that. Seems like sometimes we are just too busy with junky politics and miss the real important things.

Thanks for the save...

That's why you weren't at the debates tonight. You missed my LP tirade. Get well soon, I need you for the next fighting round.

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...
