Happy Friday (the 13th)
The weekend is here! Check out these stories from today.
- Remember that whole debt ceiling thing? Yeah, we’re there again.
- Then again, there could be hope yet. Obama’s attempt to merge and consolidate federal trade agencies could be a true gesture towards smaller government.
- Frank Hurdle at the Col. Reb Sez blog defends Haley Barbour and the pardon power more generally as a means of rehabilitating criminals. UMFreedom on Barbour’s pardongate here.
- In other state news, Matt Eichelberger at Cottonmouth reports on Speaker Gunn’s decision to hire a “political ad man with a salary commensurate with a circuit court judge.” That’s $110,000 a year. Eichelberger laments, “The party of small government, indeed.”
- Matt Zwolinski of the Bleeding Heart Libertarians blog has a good piece at the Daily Caller, emphasizing the importance of organizations like IHS. He’s right that organizations like IHS, YAL, and SFL have more long-term significance within the liberty movement than a single campaign. It’s important to note, though, that candidates like Ron Paul introduce many to the concept of a free society.
- Lastly, for your Friday the 13th viewing pleasure:

Maeeda – Yay! Michael Boy you really know how to play, also make isertenting facial and lip expressions; are you whistling already? I like that you can hang out on your own while mommy and daddy kiss or do whatever. I do not know what your daddy looked like when he was a babe your age? he may have been just a cute as you; although, ask your mommy to show you one of her black and white pictures sitting on a tractor in Leelanau County when she was your age. Perhaps, you can someday invite Gail your excellent and creative photographer to come to Traverse City while you are on one of your visits and she can take some pictures of you, mommy and daddy on Lake Michigan, on one of the beautiful trails, or on one of the beautiful farms. Thank you for sharing the very beautiful pictures and am looking forward to seeing you for Christmas. Yay!
