Unsurprisingly, Bruce Schneier (who travels much more than I do) is also fed up at having drones demand his documents at every turn in the name of “security”.

I was a bit alarmed to find “mail.thethirdreich.com” in my referral log! But it’s only a game.

Randy Barnett sees something new in recent Supreme Court decisions:

. . . Justice Kennedy refused to rest abortion rights on a “right to privacy,” though this crucial move has been generally ignored. Instead he rested it on liberty, and explicitly on the Ninth Amendment:

Neither the Bill of Rights nor the specific practices of States at the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment marks the outer limits of the substantive sphere of liberty which the Fourteenth Amendment protects. See U.S. Const., Amend. 9.

Resting abortion rights on liberty, as opposed to privacy, was newsworthy, but I seemed to be among the only one to get the news. . . .

Gene Callahan criticizes HH Hoppe’s immigration policy — or is ‘debunks’ a more fitting word?

I watched the above-entitled movie last night, and am scratching my head as to what other film had contaminated my memory of it. The wacky rich family in the other film had a bookish son with a morbid imagination, and mama’s pet ‘artist’ resembled Cesar Romero.

I’m working today in a skyscraper in Oakland. I can’t remember when I was on such a high floor on this side of the bay; I keep looking out the window and thinking “That can’t be right.”

Wyman Brantley (who apparently noticed me on an INTP list) reports:

[Robert E] Howard said that the Conan stories came to him after a period of writer’s block, and that the stories went from brain to paper almost as if he were taking dictation.

I’ve had similar experiences, but my muse is more terse, dictating a total of nine words on the two occasions that I remember.
