but waste your time and you've lost part of your life.

Another "we can't afford to do nothing" moment from Obama (re Colorado Springs). We can't afford impulsive leaders. https://t.co/94Gigzjn7V

The Failed Unconstitutional War on Drugs
Abusing tobacco, alcohol, or drugs are terrible ways to harm oneself (I avoid these transactions except for an infrequent drink, usually at a social event), but prohibiting victimless crimes is abusive, counterproductive public policy.

(Lew Rockwell). Poor Sweden: rampant social leftism, mass migration, and the welfare state lead to “no apartments, no jobs, and no shopping without a gun.” Oh, and a total state-media blackout on migrant rapes, robberies, murders
Crackpot fear-mongering. You're a neocon of a different kind, Lew.
(Lew Rockwell). Good for Greg Abbott. The Texan gov is traveling to Havana on a goodwill visit to expand trade. For example, Cuban sugar and rice are cheaper and better than Texan. And Texan technology is far more sophisticated than Cuban.
I'll trade them Obama for two left handers and a shortstop.
Don't they have enough economically illiterate socialists?
(Pro-Life Libertarians). Abortion is the government sanctioned, legal murder of a human. Do individuals have the right to stop a murderer? What if the murder is legal? If this was slavery would you advocate violence to stop it? Is violence, to stop violence, always wrong? Would you wait for the government to do something? Are those who merely ask the question responsible for advocating violence? As a libertarian, when is violence allowed?
Same thoughts have been running through my mind. "Would you abort baby Hitler?
Would you fight for Jews, in Germany, or wait until the government gave permission?
No, we would not abort Baby Hitler. You could associate freely with others and act in self-defense of the group. I do believe that a government that violates protection of natural rights has lost its legitimacy.
(Drudge Report). 'Christmas in Washington' canceled after 33 years...
Maybe they're transitioning to 'Happy Holidays From Washington'
Entertainment Potpourri
Several days back I was griping about the heavy rotation of certain cable Christmas movies on Hallmark's annual holiday season which starts around Halloween. I noticed some of the flicks that I had seen over the past year were no longer in the rotation; I also wondered why Hallmark didn't include some classic holiday flicks in its rotation.
Long story short, and no doubt some readers already know this, Hallmark, like Lifetime, has a sibling movie network (Hallmark lumps mysteries with movies). Now on my cable, the HMM channel is 256; my cable provider does have a way of filtering favorite channels, but you have to logon onto your cable account. I can manually pan down several pages of listings to get to 256, but it's a hassle. Over the weekend, I discovered several of the ones I've been waiting to see are being played on HMM and some classics (like 'A Christmas Carol') are covered. I've only looked at the schedule for a couple of days or so. Another overdone theme: royal/commoner Christmas romances. I think I've tagged lists in the past, but some of my favorite cable movies:
- Catch a Christmas Star (H)
- The Christmas Hope (L)
- Christmas with Holly (HMM)
- A Christmas Visitor (HMM)
- The Mrs. Miracle movies (H)
- The Christmas Card (HMM)
- Fallen Angel (HMM)
- Finding John Christmas (H)
- Farewell, Mr. Kringle (H ?)
- The 9 Lives of Christmas (H)
- Angels and Ornaments (H ?)
- November Christmas (HMM)
- Help For the Holidays (H)
- Dear Santa (L)
- The Christmas Spirit (H)
- Christmas Magic (H)
I'm probably missing a few. '?' means I haven't seen them at least listed this season yet (they may have but not to my knowledge).
