Yesterday was a record-breaker here in blogtown: a 60% increase in views over the previous all-time daily high. Thanks everyone! How To Interact With The Police, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/how-to-interact-with-the-police/, proved to be one of my most popular columns yet.
That, along with the popularity of Posse Comitatus, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/02/20/posse-comitatus/, and other law-related columns, confirms my theory that people really like legal topics presented from a freedom-oriented perspective. These posts are lengthy too. That gives me hope that people are accepting, even anxious for libertarian solutions to modern law and policy problems.
Today I posted Politics, https://perrinlovett.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/politics/, my off-beat attempt to accurately portray the political landscape in America today. Have a look; it’s just as informative as my recent hits and a good deal funnier (I think).
I’ve got plenty of new stuff coming in the near future, including the second installment of Slavery in America. I plan to cover things like: The Constitution, Constitutional law, law school (don’t go…), the debt-bomb, some non-political/legal matters, and many more subjects. For now, let’s have a look at a little news:
I’m still predicting the GOP will cave on ……(wait for it)……tHEEEEEE SEQUESTER!!!!!!! [maniacal laughter while thunder booms ominously]. I think they will cave tomorrow, maybe late. Who knows.
Today, the Elephantiasis party erased all doubts as they forcefully wrested the WE ARE CRAZY AS HELL title from the Donkeys. Mad Mitch McConnell and Company today released a plan to cave on THE SEQUESTER [a woman screams hysterically] and, in exchange for selling out their very last shred of principle, the RepubliCONS propose ceding Congress’s Constitutional authority to control the federal budget to the White House. I’m not making this up, here’s the story from Politico: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/senate-gop-ponders-shifting-power-to-obama-88149.html?hp=l1.
First, the cave is a given, it will happen even without the theatrics. Second, this scheme is illegal. The Constitution is clear who is supposed to make the budget. Oh wait … we don’t have federal budgets anymore. It’s still illegal. How’s that for “conservative”? They will side-step a good law just so they can break the Supreme Law of the Land. Criminal. Lastly, this strategy (if you can call it that) is mind-bogglingly stupid. I can’t even wrap my boggle around it yet. I don’t want to…
In other news, Bob Woodward joined the ranks of Kanye West and just about everyone else in the Northern Hemisphere who think President Sotoro is “mad.” Read all about it, from Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/27/us-usa-fiscal-woodward-idUSBRE91Q11620130227. The White House has apparently threatened Woodward over his remarks. WARNING: If you live near Mr. Woodward just remember drones and their missiles don’t make a peep until the blast occurs. This might be a good time to vacate the neighborhood. Just sayin.
All of this proves my point from Politics: our “leaders” are a bunch of idiots, lunatics, and psychopaths. I find this a little more important than who is refusing to host the Oscars again. How bout you?
