In my ravenous hunger for keeping up to date on the stances of the American Libertarian Party (and for the sake of passing Political Science), I’ve come across a blog, and I must say this is one is, well its just tops. The blog is updated practically everyday with various stories and events relating to the Libertarian Party and Bob Barr, you know Bob Barr. The site is by Terra Eclipse, which has had a hand in many other political blogs; although sadly after extensive research, I failed in finding any kind of ironic contradiction in the political parties/ politicians they represent with their blogs. I digress; the Blog is actually full with interesting stories. Check it out! http://www.lp.org/blog
This Blog just radiates a feeling of “this is a part of the U.S Government”, which being that it is the official blog of the Libertarian Party brings a smile to my face. The blog isn’t flashy and really just focuses on the stories, which I really like. I don’t want you to think by saying it’s not flashy, that I’m saying it’s in any way, shape, or form not visually appealing, in fact the soft colors and simple text really make it a breeze to read. As I said before this blog is far more “official” then any other blog I’ve come across. It has its own email sign up, an official crest of “The Libertarian Party- 1971”, and what sold it for me, it’s actually on the official web page of the Libertarian party. Last but certainly what makes this blog different is that it’s just CRAM-A-LAMED with mounds and mounds of information on the Libertarian party and their current fights within Washington…SEGUE COMMENCECON!
The latest post by Andrew Davis, you know Andrew Davis (I’m starting to see a trend here) on October 2, 2008 talks about how Senate has passed the Bail out Bill. The post brings up a lot of good reasons we as tax payers (just because my annual income is a whopping annual $1200, doesn’t mean I don’t pay taxes) should be outraged. Apparently the Bill started as a 3 page document, and as “sweeteners/Pork” was added it grew into an obese 451 page document. The sweeteners ranged from more regulations on insurance companies, 192 million dollars to rum producers in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and to the obscure relief of wooden arrow producers. Now I’m no economist but wooden arrows? At least let us know if their arrows for hunting or for direction! One statement really hit me “Is this taxation without true representation?” I do feel a bit of truth in it. What do you think?

Dave, your article interests me. Of course your writing is without a doubt colorful and it is a very intrigueing post but i digress.. the point at hand is about the bail out bill and how you said it is turning into a 451 page document. That is upsetting to me because I want to know what this bail out bill meas for us and lets face it, theres no way I (or most of the rest of the public) is going to read through this huge paper. Its just not going to happpen. And I really think its annoying becasue I feel like that is something that as a member of the public I would really want to be able to look at and understand.
