I just came across this article that looks at Ron Paul and Bob Barr in the context of McCain and the Republican party’s bigger problems. Interesting piece. I didn’t know that McCain had a 0% rating from the ACLU. Ouch!

The X-Rated Voter Guide
Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 12th 2008
Sometimes government incompetence is funny:
Voters’ Pamphlet typo points to adult sex line
A mistyped phone number just inside the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet is now drawing some unwanted attention to the upcoming election.
Voters’ Pamphlets just started hitting mailboxes across Oregon last week, and each county has its own version. But one phone number that’s inside every copy [...]
The Purpose of Government
Posted by Patrick Semmens in May 12th 2008

Radley Balko observes that last week state governments conducted thousands of searches under the guise of anti-terrorism:
