Halloween TV
For your viewing pleasure, here are some Halloween videos to watch today. First, some costumes from last night’s Letterman. It was hilarious. Then some Peanuts! And be sure to stop by the homestead tonight… This year, every trick or treater that visits my house will be getting a Nobel Peace Prize! Share and Enjoy:A Good Summation of the Internet Age, IMO
Some social media “experts” fawn over the Web 2.0 revolution of the internet over the last few years… “It’s so wonderful that millions of minds are connecting on twitter to solve the world’s problems!” Opinions are like A-Holes… It seems from my vantage point that the further down the internet rabbit hole you go, the less value [...]Everything’s Amazing, Nobody’s Happy
I love this clip. Louis C.K. is a great comedian, and is speaking some serious truth. We live in blessed times, and in a blessed Country. I sometimes think we misuse our vast wealth for things we don’t need. Countries and Cities do it. Indianapolis figures out how fund an always sold-out stadium that’s a [...]Smoking Bans DO Have Economic Consequences
By Evan Matthews, a Hoosier Libertarian. Originally posted at LPIN.org. INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Smoking bans are onerous, misguided and dangerous. As Indianapolis lawmakers debate whether the Circle City requires more stringent smoking legislation, they should stop to consider the economic and realistic implications. The owner of a private establishment, be it bar, bowling alley or barber [...]How 9-11 Changed Me
I know it’s a typical postmodern title. I just don’t want to write some sappy tribute that you’ll find on any blog, or write some lyrics by a Country singer. I will certainly pray for all those currently suffering due to that day, and the wars that sprang from it. For my generation, 9-11 was a [...]Chris Spangle's Profile

Introduction to the Constitution with Michael Badnarik at Courtyard Indianapolis Northwest
November 7, 2009 from 9am to 6pm
This is the highly acclaimed 8hr class taught by author and Constitutional scholar, Michael Badnarik.
In 8 hours, Michael covers far more than you learned in years of high school or college, in a way you'll never forget.
Full Day Class is $100, R...
I highly recommend this event. I have taken Michael Badnarik's Constitution Class before in 2004 the day before the start of the Libertarian National Convention that year. I would do so again this time if our LPIN Central Committee Meeting wasn't ...
I'll gladly carpool if anyone wants to meet up in Indy.

- "Humor is misery distilled."
"If we had to be concerned about everything to be concerned about, we'd never get any sleep." - Lou Pinella of the Cubs
"There is no point in doing something that doesn't make you happy or doesn't make you money. Why waste the calories worrying about things that don't matter?" - Adam Carolla
My Grandpa on HDTV:
"Look at that picture. Wow. It's so Clear. I am just glad I lived long enough to see this."
When I offered several magazines to my Grandpa:
"Ah hell, No Thanks, I don't read magazines. Anything worth knowing or learning, I can find it out on the TV."
Some men by feigning words as dark as mine Make truth to spangle, and its rays to shine. --Bunyan.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
"I think of Indianapolis every day of the year, every hour of the day, and when I sleep, too. Everything I ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I love it all, from the first to the last day in May. The moment that race starts is always the greatest moment of my life, and the day I win that race, it will be as if my life has ended. There is nothing more I could want out of life."
- Eddie Sachs."
You're best thinking got you here.
"Many of you are well enough off that...the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good" - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Obama laid our his economic plan for the Wall Street Journal:
“Sen. Obama cited new economic forces to explain what appears like a return to an older-style big-government Democratic platform skeptical of market forces. “Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers,” he said, and a strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably.”
"It's not my dream job."
"Yes it is. It just isn't your dream title."
- House
"She's been told the customer is always right. Wrong! The customer is usually a moron and an asshole." - Larry David
"I've been apologizing since I've been 6 years old, and pretty much on a daily basis. I think I've got it down." - Larry David
The world is full of willing people. Some are willing to work and others are willing to let them - Charles Dickens
Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect - Sam Sneed
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be - Abraham Lincoln
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension... is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism." - George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796
- Favorite President?
- Washington and Reagan

Indianapolis City-County Councilor Ed Coleman Joins Libertarian Party
INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Edward Coleman, a member of the Indianapolis City-County Council, has switched his affiliation from Republican to Libertarian. Coleman was elected in 2007 to an At-Large position, and will serve as Indianapolis' only elected Libertarian official.
"This is not a decision I take lightly, nor did I come to it without deep reflection," Coleman said in a statement released Monday by the Libertarians.

20,000 uniformed troops on American Soil?
Here is a comforting story from the Washington Post:
http://tinyurl.com/6njjlf
"The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.
The long-planned shift in the Defense Department's role in homeland security was recently backed with funding and troop commitments after years of prodding by Congress and outside exp… Continue

A Nation Forged in Hardship
Thanksgiving is usually the day when we give a half-hearted, half-spoken "thanks" for our friends and family, and for some, to our God. But on Thanksgiving Day, we should give thanks to those who gave their lives to settle, create, and protect this nation in the name of liberty. This is a nation forged in hardship, in a long struggle for freedom. Generations of men and women struggled and died (and still do) to achieve this:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religio… Continue
