Just tell them to kiss her ass...

Once again, Cara finds items for The Curvature that should appeal to any Libertarian. In this case it's In The Face of Slut-Shaming, Female Mayor Stands Her Ground, about Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, who is refusing to resign because there's a sexy photo of her in lingerie posing by a fire-engine on MySpace.

First off, I'd be proud to have a mayor sexy enough to cause a stir.

Second, if Bill Clinton can get head in the Oval Office.... OK I won't go there, but...

It's about time that an American citizen in public office told the public where it could kiss off (and where it could kiss for that matter).

I don't care what Barack Obama put up his nose as a teenager.

I don't care if Mitt Romney wears Mormon underwear (although I would prefer to avoid the pictures on that one).

I do know that Cara's right: this wouldn't be happening to a man.

I agree. Wouldn't it be a gas to have Ruth Miner's sexy pic out there?

There is one small thing (among many large things) that bugs me about the primaries. Now, I am no fan of Hillary Clinton...in fact quite the opposite. But I notice that in casual conversation and even news shows that people will refer to "Barack Obama" or "Mitt Romney" or "John McCain".....then they refer to "Hillary".

I'm no breast-thumping feminist, but I think that this shows just a slight bias against women candidates. Even though I constantly speak ill of her, I always refer to her as "Senator Clinton". She at least deserves that much.

I know its a small thing, but something that nags at me a bit.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
