Headline in today’s paper: “Gay rights leader from Ark. lets his roots take the reins.”
I wonder whether people who mix metaphors like that have an impoverished imagination. Otherwise wouldn’t bizarre images leap to mind and force a rewrite?
Internet Freedom Is Slavery?
Jul 05According to a leaked report (see here and here; CHT Brandon), the Campaign for Liberty’s upcoming internet freedom manifesto condemns as an “insidious” and “pernicious” form of “internet collectivism” the view that “what is considered to be in the public domain should be greatly expanded.” Bizarrely, they toss opposition into IP into a list of proposals for government intervention.
Hey, C4L: refraining from censorship and protectionism is not a form of government intervention. For the libertarian case against IP, check out the Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom and the Molinari Institute’s anti-copyright page.
Suit-you-all Mutualism
Jul 05Shawn Wilbur announces a new Mutualism.info blog.

Moles Out of Holes, Smiths on the Wing; or, an Expected Un-Party
Jul 04Still more juvenilia: “Bill ‘Coon’ and the Giant Mole” (around age 11), “Phooey to Handwriting!” (age 12), and less juvenilely, “The Invisible Net” (some time in my late 20s).
The second Tolkien reference in my post’s title is obvious; can you identify the first?
Double Dribble
Jul 04More juvenilia: two continuations of other people’s stories, both involving basketball – “The Loose Ball Foul” (age 10) and “One Day In the Life of Mike Teavee” (around age 11).
Universally Preferable Refutation
