How often have we seen this in the last few decades: and overwhelmed Islamic terrorist organization on the verge of defeat calls for a cease-fire on "humanitarian" grounds. They don't seem to have any humanitarian concerns when they're using human shields, but once they're on the verge of total annihilation, they feign a temporary respect for human life, call for a cease-fire, re-arm, then turn around and start waging war again. It's been done so many times, it's not even news anymore. What's news is that the Sri Lanke military saw through the charade and continues to kill the Tamil Tigers anyway. Too bad nobody in the western world is smart enough to see through this ruse and continue destroying the enemy and finally ending these ongoing wars. Israel should learn a lesson from this.

Mises parody exposes the obvious logical next step of calling CO2 a pollutant - taxing breathing. You know the government and society is insane when government declares your breath and the breath of every animal on the planet is a pollutant, and people support it.

Mises scholar offers a comprehensive constitutional amendment to limit the power of the Federal government.

Unfortunately, providing more welfare to Africa will just further harm the country, not help it.

It's good to see the Pakistan military going on the offensive against the Taliban.

The Supreme Court may finally overrule race discrimination against white people.

Today is debt day for the Federal government. Every dollar the Federal government spends from today until Oct. 1 is borrowed. Unbelievable.

Here's an interesting libertarian project: the Free State Project. It's goal is to get 20,000 libertarians to sign up and move to New Hampshire. This is a great idea, and I like these couple of lines about New Hampshire:

[I]t has the lowest state and local tax burden in the continental U.S., the second-lowest level of dependence on federal spending in the U.S., a citizen legislature where state house representatives have not raised their $100 per year salary since 1889, the lowest crime levels in the U.S., a dynamic economy with plenty of jobs and investment, and a culture of individual responsibility indicated by, for example, an absence of seatbelt and helmet requirements for adults.

But I bet it's cold. ;) Can we move New Hampshire to the gulf coast?

This analysis is sloppy from the economic side, but the analysis of the failure rate of quarterbacks taken high in the NFL draft is right on.

The Italians and the French put armed security teams on ships passing Somali. Israelis. Pirates run away.
