Mr. England says: Education is pointless without liberty. And liberty relies on the rule of law. While he’s talking about college education, I easily saw the implication towards libraries. Since you can get a book at a book store, why have libraries or have schools? So say the trustees of the Boston Public Library in…

Sounders blogging
Some have the word that the Seattle is getting the next new MLS team for 2009. Yipppee! The strange note that our USL Sounders (currently playing for the league championship on Saturday) will take off 2008 makes me think their current owner will be involved, so you could say this is a promotion of the…
So, does this mean that Dave Ammons will be blogging?
Dave Ammons (the king of Olympia based political reporters) wrote a strange column last week that sort of points to him blogging sometime in the near future.

Thurston Democrats don’t follow the pre-ordained “sides” on school board races

Matthew (I did his website, btw) is a long time Thurston County Dem and a former city council member. Craig’s a nice guy, and probably deserves…

But Kenny Pearce, that “The Evangelical libertarian philosopher” formally of the Palouse and currently of Philadelphia, has the best breakdown. Read the entire thing here (its long), but here’s…
Re: Nafziger opens up

If you’re into that kind of thing, the comments are one-sided against the Nafziger split on this whole thing: If Nafziger really said what the Olympian reported, he has no business being on the board. Being a board member means you make REAL decisions and…
Nafziger opens up
I thought it was interesting when folks were noting that Oly’s Rich Nafziger got a new job in the political hierarchy, that no one noted his blog. That’s too bad, because while Rich often takes months of weeks between posts, when he does get something up, its usually worth the read. No exception this week…
