Rarely do I care about a software upgrade, but ever since Adam Curry announced iTunes would soon handle podcasts I’ve been a wee bit anxious. My podcasting listening routine has been to go to the individual websites, download a new show, then upload it into iTunes. Now, all I’ll have to do is subscribe and […]
Stephen Macklin is already up to a third draft of his anti-Kelo amendment:
The right to ownership of property being the cornerstone of liberty, the Fifth Amendment to this Constitution’s statement that property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation shall be narrowly construed. To protect the right to ownership of property, public […]
People dismayed the Supreme Court didn’t force cable companies to open their networks to competitors could feel some solace in last week’s Kelo decision. As Greg Ransom writes,
Something that most people have overlooked is that fact that the logic of Kelo v. New London extends beyond merely land and buildings. The general logic of Kelo […]
The NY Post mocks New Yorkers who are wearing things they shouldn’t be. It reminds me of the downside to Summerfest. The music, food, and beer are great. It’s just seeing a 50-year-old man’s beer gut or a 55-year-old woman in a leather Harley-Davidson bra that gives me the willies.
If you got it, flaunt it. […]
Stephen Macklin has a draft of a property rights constitutional amendment. Something strikes me as odd about it–I’m trying to anticipate unintended consequences–but it’s a good place to start a discussion on how to preserve property rights.

UPDATE: On a related note, Sen. John Cornyn has introduced legislation that would
declare Congress’s […]
I’ve owned my Compaq desktop (”The Mothership”) for about one year. It has a 160gb hard drive I keep all my data on as well as my music collection (ripped from CDs and purchased from iTunes). I’ve never done a back up which means I will draw ire from the computer gods. I’m on the […]
Ward Churchill must be a big fan of Adolf Eichmann. He likes tossing his name out:
Questioner: I think it’s important when you’re getting into a discussion of violence and appropriate violence and self-defense, of starting to look at what you’re trying to build there, what you’re trying to create—for example, fragging an officer, which you […]
A bunch of Supreme Court rulings came down today. I’m going to wait a few more hours to gather more than instant analysis. The Ten Commandments rulings seemed odd. Oh the power of one justice. The file-sharing ruling seems reasonable, but I’ve never supported intellectual property anarchy on the internet. Lyle Denniston already has some […]

Harry Potter is being used to get information out of prisoners in Gitmo:
[Members of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee] watched the interrogation of three suspects, including one in which a detainee was read a Harry Potter book aloud for hours until he turned his back and put his hands over his ears.
I’m surprised the […]
Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas has tried to pass on the idea he is powerless in stopping Islamist groups like Hamas from attacking Israelis. To use the AP’s words:
Abbas fears a broad crackdown on militants would lead to internal unrest and possibly civil war.
But when terrorists attack a Palestinian police station the long arm of […]
Trackbacks are wonderful things because that’s how I found out about the Carnival of the Chillin (now in its second edition). I’m sure the last thing the blogosphere needs is another carnival (maybe don’t call it a “carnival”) but here it is for your late-Sunday reading.

Over at The Huffington Post Arianna recaps the past week of posts. No mention of her “scoop” that V.P. Dick Cheney was in the cardiac section of a Colorado hospital. Could it be because she was talking out of her ass?
