Quote of the day
In regard to a prominent lefty’s bigotry toward gun owners, PGP says in comments: bigoted lefties, making more libertarians every day since 1972. Heh.

I do not think it means what you think it means
Some paper from where Great Britain used to be: Charlton Heston: From civil rights supporter to gun lover From my view, those are the same thing. This paper treats these two as though they are not.

B-Ho, TNGOP and Me
Naifeh, as he always does, killed some pro-gun bills. So, I got this nice little email from Bill Hobbs and TNGOP pointing me to a post that says I should pony up some dollars to the TN GOP to make Naifeh pay. No way. The TN GOP will not get a dime from me. After all, […]
Naifeh, as he always does, killed some pro-gun bills. So, I got this nice little email from Bill Hobbs and TNGOP pointing me to a post that says I should pony up some dollars to the TN GOP to make Naifeh pay.
No way.
The TN GOP will not get a dime from me. After all, seven of your guys joined the Democrats to re-elect this Naifeh guy. So, get bent on the money thing. Until you get these losers in line.
However, this move is brilliant:
The state Republican Party spokesman has filed a request to obtain Tennessees entire handgun permit database on the same day his party publicly scolded House Democrats for efforts to keep those records open to the public.
A Safety Department spokesman tells The Associated Press that Republican Party Communications Director Bill Hobbs filed the request for the database on Thursday.
He’s being charged with hypocrisy, which I don’t think is the case. I think it’s brilliant. When he gets the data, he can go through it and find all the personal information it contains on all our politicos who have carry permits. Then, he can post that info on the internet, including where they live, etc. Well played, I think.
Update: Nope, not well played at all. Just political hackery:
Hobbs said the GOP plans to use the list to raise money and get out the vote, which he says were efforts already underway before Naifehs actions.
We would have preferred that we would be unable to get these records, but because of what Speaker Naifeh did, these records are still exposed, Hobbs said. And so we believe the 190,000 law abiding gun owners on that list deserve the opportunity to respond through the political process.
Hypocrisy, indeed.
Medicine’s Cutting Edge: Re-Growing Organs
Wyatt Andrews at CBS News - thanks to a powder his brother gave him, Lee Spievack grew back the tip of a finger he sliced off in the propeller of a hobby shop airplane. Soon, this technology may provide brand new internal organs, grown from your own cells. [gizmodo]
Quote:
That powder is a substance made from pig bladders called extracellular matrix. It is a mix of protein and connective tissue surgeons often use to repair tendons and it holds some of the secrets behind the emerging new science of regenerative medicine.
…
If this helped Spievack’s finger regrow, Badylak says, at least in theory, you should be able to grow a whole limb.
Advances That Go Beyond Theory
In his lab at Wake Forest University, a lab he calls a medical factory, Dr. Anthony Atala is growing body parts.

The Ron Paul Moment Has Only Begun
Thomas E. Woods, Jr. at LewRockwell.com - a review of Ron Paul’s new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto ($14.28 pre-order from Amazon), scheduled for official release on April 30, but, according to Mr. Woods, in stores and shipping from Amazon.com next week. [lew]
Quote:
After describing the income tax as merely a species of forced labor, for example, Dr. Paul concludes: “Strip away the civics-class platitudes about ‘contributions’ to ‘society,’ which are mere obfuscations designed to engineer the people’s consent to the system, and that is what the income tax amounts to.” The word “exploited” appears several times in the book – to refer to government’s treatment of its subject population. He likewise writes, after having shown how the so-called distribution effects of inflation hurt the middle class and the working poor, that “the average person is silently robbed through this invisible means, and usually doesn’t understand what exactly is happening to him. And almost no one in the political establishment has an incentive to tell him.”
One of the things that frustrated me most during 2007 was the way Ron Paul’s enemies employed predictable “anti-American” and “appeasement” rhetoric against his foreign policy views. Dr. Paul gets the last laugh here: his chapter on foreign policy is the most persuasive short statement of the non-interventionist position I have ever read. It turns the tables completely: suddenly it is the neoconservatives who are on the defensive, and Ron Paul the knowledgeable and wise statesman steering his country to safety. As a former neocon myself – who knew my enthusiasm for this book would elicit that awful confession? – I can confidently say that I would have changed my mind a lot sooner if I had been exposed to arguments like these.
It’s also a little unusual for an American presidential candidate to refer to and quote from Alexis de Tocqueville, Frédéric Bastiat, Thomas Aquinas, Robert Nozick, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Washington, John Adams, Daniel Webster, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Russell Kirk, Richard Weaver, William Graham Sumner, Ludwig von Mises, and other figures of comparable renown.

Operation Cassandra
William S. Lind at LewRockwell.com - why it would be a terrible mistake for the United States to attack Iran. Mr. Lind believes that they could easily wipe out the entire Iraq-based U.S. army. The French phrase I quoted below means, “We are in a chamber pot, and there we will be shat upon.”
Quote:
The U.S. military in Iraq is all spread out in penny packets fighting insurgents. We have no field army there anymore. We cannot reconcentrate because we’re out of gas and Shiite guerrillas control the roads. What units don’t get overrun by Iranian armor or Shiite militia end up in the Baghdad Kessel. General Petraeus calls President Bush and repeals the famous words of General Ducrot at Sedan: “Nous sommes dans un pot de chambre, et nous y serons emmerdés.” Bush thinks he’s overheard Petraeus ordering dinner – as, for Bush, he has.
U.S. Marines in Iraq, who are mostly in Anbar province, are the only force we have left. Their lines of supply and retreat through Jordan are intact. The local Sunnis want to join them in fighting the hated Persians. What do they do at that point? Good question.
