Politics

Chelsea Clinton says gay rights have made progress in apparently preparation for running for some sort of office.

Clintons restrict access to records of Bill's tenure as governor.

On politics:

"In his RT interview concerning former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, Lew is eloquently voicing the powerful truth which is at the heart of libertarianism. The concept of the State is the greatest criminal conspiracy ever perpetuated upon humanity. Crime, ruthlessness, assassinations, and corruption are not aberrations or breakdowns of the American State, but are absolutely endemic to it." 

What's a little illegal corruption to people dedicated to massive, systemic, legalized corruption? The economic reasons for ubiquitous corruption in politics:

"“The state’s power is inseparable from the robberies it commits. The state’s robberies are inseparable from corruption. Systematic corruption necessarily accompanies government. It is the stuff of every history of every government.
“The theory behind these connections is simple. The government’s lawmaking power creates opportunities to rob legally. To rob legally is to pass a binding law or regulation that favors one group at the expense of another. To an interest group anxious to rob, a legislator’s favorable vote is an economic good. If the lawmaker sets the price of that vote at zero, then there is excess demand for it. The lawmakers therefore must raise the price of their vote in order to ration it among the robbers who are bidding for it. The price includes campaign contributions, jobs when they retire, favorable publicity, and other favors. Graft and bribery are only the most crude forms of the auction. The overall result is endemic corruption that cannot be eliminated. There is no such thing as a clean government.”"

Excellent.

I wondered why Ray Nagin was singled out as well. Whenever a politician is charged with corruption, I wonder why he was singled out.
