| Saturday Apr 29, 2000 | Regardless of what you thought of last weekend's INS raid which took Elian Gonzalez back to his father, why not hoard some mementos of the event before it fades from collective memory? You could have a jar of air from Elian's neighborhood, Elian Gonzalez faberge eggs (with insightful religious commentary), and/or the raft used by Elian to get to the United States in the first place. to Politics by crikey |

| Wednesday Mar 1, 2000 | One of the most common arguments against environmental protection is that the associated costs will be prohibitive. Well, the Green Scissors Campaign has published a list of 77 environmentally harmful government subsidies, the cutting of which would save the US government $50 billion.

| R.U. Sirius has formed a new political party called The Revolution®, which he says "combines the best of the Libertarians and St.
Ralph". You can read a lengthy explanation of their
origins and philosophy, or a
summary of their platform, but I might vote for them
just becuase I like their slogan:
Victory Over Horseshit!

| Tuesday Nov 2, 1999 | Our neighbors to the north have long complained of American cultural imperialism and our general lack of respect for their alleged contributions to the arts and sciences. Now it seems that a group of doughty Canadians has decided to take matters into their own hands with a plan for Canadian World Domination. Sounds pretty extreme, eh?

| Thursday Oct 14, 1999 | PJ O'Rourke, former left-wing peacenix and pot-smoking hippie is now one of the most savagely hilarious libertarian/conservative satirist alive. His best works include the Liberty Manifesto and sardonic primer on US government Parliment of Whores.
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. - PJ to Politics by pjammer |
| Tuesday Sep 21, 1999 | George W. Bush's campaign contributions
can be viewed daily. These guys did a statistical analysis of the contributions, including who exceeded the legal limits.
Unfortunately you need to download a "free trial version" of their Table Lens application
in order to view and manipulate the data, however the press release
includes some interesting conclusions about his campaign donors.

inventor of the Internet, doncha know!)
opined a while back
that sex in the media causes teen pregnancy.
That must be an odd kind of causation, seeing as how media is getting more
pr0n-o-rific all the time, while
teen pragnancy rates are plummeting.

| Monday Sep 6, 1999 | As many of you know, U.S. citizens do not vote directly in national elections - rather, we deliver our opinions through a labrynthine system known as Electoral Colleges. While the relative merits of Electoral Colleges have been the source of fierce academic debates, serious quantitative rigor remains alien to those schooled in Political Science. Consequently, most essays on the topic are eloquently-crafted polemics built upon poorly-constructed models riddled with questionable assumptions. In this arena, Will Hively's Math Against Tyranny stands alone as a lively, interesting and quantitatively sound defense of Republic democracy.
