Ron Paul’s Ugly Newsletters
A must-read defense of libertarianism against the vicious newsletters put out under Ron Paul’s name. I am glad Cato has finally broke cover to address this thorny issue. Ron Paul and his Paulian zealots do not speak for all libertarians. At they rate they are going they are speaking for fewer and fewer.

No commentsWriting the Cancer…progress
As I prepare myself for chemo on Monday; after quite a painless insertion of my PICC line on Friday, I realised I had not written about my writing about the cancer. The Doctor who put it in even made sure it was out of the way so my writing would not be impaired. I can even play guitar.
I have written the introduction and the first chapter of the book. Now that I have done my column for the week I am planning to write some more this weekend. I am just writing the bits I remember from the various phases of the whole thing. Kim will add her bits, ie what actually happened, once I am done. It seems to be flowing fairly well for both of us.
Kim has rather good reason for not writing that much so far. She has not only has been hitting the audition trail for various TV gigs; but she filmed an advert this week as well. I will never begrudge her the acting side of her life and I take pains to encourage it.
In the end I am rather fortunate that both writing and listening to review music is something that I will be able to do fairly well during chemo. I am going to do my best to make sure that besides the time to have the chemo; I am going to make sure it is as little a nuisance as possible.
