Via the Trailer Park Boys, it’s hilarious, for me anyway. Apparently I like weed and Enchiladas.

The GOP biological problem
There has been much hubub about Arlen Specter’s switch to the democrats, saying they’re losing the “Moderate” wing. My theory: The GOP’s primary impediment is not ideological, it’s biological. They’re stuck with their corrupt deadwood, made even more rotted by their brief period in control of the legislative and executive branch. They have no credible voice on the current spending orgy because they haven’t been in the credibility business in any form for quite some time.
By getting rid of the old guard (albeit not intentionally) they would seem to be solving the problem.

Keeping the blog alive….
Sorry, I’ve been busy lately. Here is a random assortment
- Velvet Underground on YouTube
- Justice, War, Etc from David Friedman
- Interesting article about Crime in Atlanta
- A nice profile about a former client of mine.
- The Agitator puts it very well with “we’ve reached the point where even jaded libertarian cliches present an inaccurately optimistic picture of what’s going on”
- A very good explanatory video by Tim Hartford.

Sparse posting and random thoughts
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, a happy development has taken up a my free time.
And the random thought – Obama’s new “Smarter government, somehow!” push could serve to keep the nags, parasites, and do-gooders busy and let creative people create things, instead of having them filter into the general population as seems to have been the case over the past several years.

An interesting thought
Via Megan McArdle – I’m not for this, but it would solve the problem.
My lunatic proposal for the day: why not make it easier to move homeowners out of homes they can’t afford? Set up a streamlined foreclosure proceeding where a current or mildly delinquent homeowner can simply give the house to the bank and walk away. Do this with two legal provisos:
1. No tax on the forgiven loan
2. No black mark on the credit record. The bank marks the loan as fully satisfied.
Of course, if we decide to actually “fix” the problem we should loosen immigration and get people actually in the vacant houses.
