Groundhog Day: Donald Trump emerges from his burrow and sees his shadow, six more weeks of Newt Gingrich's campaign

In the wee early morning hours of February 2nd, 2012, Donald Trump emerged from his little burrow and scurried out into a field, but a bright light shining from the Ron Paul 2012 campaign cast a shadow on the field, and when the cute little Trump saw his own shadow, he spooked, ran back into his burrow, and refused to come out. Now there will be six more weeks of Newt Gingrich's campaign instead of a tidy little, post-Florida withdrawal. By then, Spring will come, bringing more bright light.

Yes I wrote this late at night while very tired, grinning stupidly the entire time in careless self-satisfaction. And apparently I'm still writing. Stop, Wes. Get some sleep. Better hit "publish" first...

My 2011 Trip

Hey Patriots! Hope your New Year is off to a good start! I am multitasking my head off to prepare for a trip around the country of indefinite length and scope starting next week. I'll be headed for Colorado first where I'll investigate medical cannabis laws and their effects; then I'll be flying out to Washington DC for the month of February to attend CPAC and ISFLC; and after that I'll move north to New Hampshire to spend March hanging with members of the Free State Project and learning more about it.

Occupy Mordor or Destroy the Ring?

There has been mixed responses to Occupy Wall Street by libertarians. Some see the movement as a positive, while others see them as little more than lazy hipsters. But libertarians must be sensitive to why people feel the way they do about issues. The occupiers point out a legitimate concern that "the 1%" control vastly more power and wealth than "the 99%", and corporations have accumulated more power and privilege than is healthy for an open society. Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor. Let's say that Sauron, the big cheese bad guy of Lord of the Rings, is the corporate hegemony. The 1%. Most people in Middle Earth agree that this is a problem, but there are a few differ...
