Victory!

Why? Because the Republicans have won, of course! Okay, I’m just being sarcastic. But a lot of people aren’t sarcastic when they proudly extol the Republican victories. Ugh. As someone over at LewRockwell.com noted, that just means more war and more spending. I’m glad I spent my November 2nd in a more productive way. I finished up the first lecture for my online class. It was a little tricky, a lot of reading for me and more running around the internet than usual. I’ve lectured on much of this before, so it is familiar. The first lecture, however, is about…

Voting Day!

It is very interesting to have such a wide range of friends on Facebook, with very different political philosophies when it comes to voting. There are the people who say, “This is the day we will reclaim America and gain our freedom again.” There are those who say, “I’m going to vote Libertarian and show those lame two parties that they have utterly failed.” And then there are some (but not as many) who say, “I refuse to vote for a system of coercion and legal theft. I will not give into their system by voting for a new master.”…

Monday Morning

“Monday morning is the time you must do everything you didn’t want to do the week before.” ~ Anonymous Actually, that’s my quote. It looks better if I say it is anonymous. I still have some unpacking to do from my trip. It is mostly just running around the house, putting little things back where they belong, but I don’t really feel like that. So in the meantime I’m tripping over bags and shoes whenever I try to exit or enter my room. I’ve got 18 items on my to-do list for this week. Granted, some of them are easy,…

So don’t give up on me. I have lots of plans, lots of ideas, lots of books, and a long to-do list. Check back on Monday for details.

When “Almost” Isn’t Good Enough

,

There is a new book out that explores the lack of faith young people have in America. Instead of blaming it on Facebook and texting the author seems to explore this issue more honestly and places the blame on those who have failed to properly raise the next generation. Here’s the book review by The New American.

At the Mises Institute!

,

Arrived at the Mises Institute this afternoon, gave my family a tour, played the Bosendorfer a little, introduced my father to Lew Rockwell, and had dinner and a wonderful visit with my great friend, Floy Lilley. I’m now in the “Rothbard Village” directly behind the Institute, in what is called the “French Quarters.” Be jealous. Especially since I get to visit the bookstore tomorrow morning and add to my growing library of political, economic and philosophical books.
