A blog I missed, from the random and kind Jeff Trigg.

Attention, bloggers: We love to be linked! Give us a permanent link on your site, and I’ll put you on the Honor Roll, which currently includes the antiheroic Joanne McNeil, the collegial University blog, the erudite Liberty & Power, the dyspeptic Libertarian Jackass, the francophone Melodius Thunk, the controversial Polemics, the irregular Micah Holmquist, the apocalyptic Bill Connolly, the self-effacing Franklin Harris, and the observant Marcus Tullius Cicero.

Good old cross-promotion– this is how the wildly overrated Instapundit has gotten nine zillion permanent links, right?

If I missed anyone, let me know.

This Village Voice article about the Green Leaf Party (“the only pro-cannabis legalization and public health party in Israel”) may cause a reversal in U.S. Israel policy. Murder and theft are one thing, but pot? Unforgivable.

David Frum (scroll down) confirms that Jews can indeed be anti-Semitic. I think that covers just about everyone on planet Earth, David, with the possible exception of those Protocols-peddling Eskimos.

The choice is ours. Julian Sanchez makes a decent case for libertarians to support Howard Dean, despite all the cruel things we’ve said about the old boy over here. The strategic point seems to be that libertarians increase their significance by becoming swing voters; the tactical reassurance is that Dean could not be much worse than Bush and would likely be much better. Why? As I put it in a Backtalk response to a fuming Deanie:

[H]e’s an interventionist through and through, all right, but if you put a knife to my throat and forced me to choose between Dean and Bush, or Dean and Lieberman, I’d pull the Dean lever and hope that congressional Republicans would oppose his every move. Feel free to quote me on that in your campaign literature.

Use the PATRIOT Act, of course, writes Dante Chinni.
