Welcome to the May 11, 2008 edition of carnival of the libertarians.
I was invited a month or more ago to host this carnival. I’m happy to do so. I’ve got libertarian leaning myself, as well as some not so libertarian ones as those who’ve crawled the blog might be tempted to point out, but my political thought is rooted in the general principles of maximum personal liberty and minimum functional government– I stress the ‘functional’ part. As with every carnival I’ve posted, don’t take inclusion in the carnival to mean endorsement by the blog.

According to leading mental health professionals and law enforcement agencies, perpetrators of violent acts against animals are often repeat offenders who pose a serious threat to all animals - including humans.”

Anyone running a WordPress blog has likely seen at least a mention of this article, as its floating through the WP Admin Dashboard RSS feed right now, but no matter, my point is not Microsoft bashing. No, my point is Adam Smith bashing. Actually, to be fair I’m not bashing Adam Smith. I’m just bashing the ‘free market magic’ fantasy that is kept alive in his name by gaggle of right wing twits who’ve never read him, or maybe who just didn’t pay attention.

This must be one of the more amusing ‘debunkings’ of evolution I’ve seen thus far. Have a look. think of it as a kind of ‘how many layers of stupid can you find’ game. I love the little speech given by the frumpy lady starting about ten seconds in.

April 1, 2008. (Well… Ok. Its actually April 5th. Let’s just say that April 1 is the nominal date.) Spring is in the air. I’m not all that happy about it, but such is the way it is. Here at the the ‘This Is Not My Country Carnival’ we’ve got a new set of post on an old set of topics. But those topics recur because they are important.
