New Poll
The National Republican Senatorial Comittee is running a Presidential Preference Survey. When I took the survey, Fred Thompson was winning with Ron Paul in second place. Unfortunately, you can only see the results after you vote and then you get a graph with no details. I am not sure that this is a legitmate "straw poll." They say that they will run a new poll after every Republican Presidential debate. Why the include Fred, who isn't in the debates is a mystery.
July 16? Yeah, this looks like some sort of bogus attempt to collect email addresses and money.
Ron Paul: The Scary Candidate
The Neocons are getting scared. And I mean terrified. The applause that RP was getting at the debate last Sunday in Iowa is what's scaring them. A neocon supporter of Duncan Hunter over on Free Republic seems to think that now Ron Pauler's are spamming the Republican debates.
It seems that Ron Paul has a very large "internet" following stuffing the "ballot box" on every internet poll there is.. but this video - though poor in quality -- is just ONE example -- and shows who is the REAL WINNER of the debate... and that is Duncan Hunter --- GO HUNTE GO ! -- for me - for my family -- for America ! --- we NEED you to win !!In reviewing the debate more carefully I found it very strange the Ron Paul receieve HUGE applause from the so called "conservative" -- RON PAUL IS NO CONSERVATIVE -- and the audience in this debate must have been "stuffed" just like the internet polls were..[sic]
That's pretty funny. Maybe the audience was actually just made up of youTube videos hacked there by meetup members....

The Liberators
A person I know wrote a short story called "The Liberators" probably some time around 2003. It has some graphic language but is extremely compelling. I'm glad he put it up. This man is talented and I love reading his short stories.
What Lew Rockwell Has Meant to Me
Lew's put his professional career on the line for Ron Paul. If you appreciate what he's done for liberty on the net, please contribute. We need the writings he publishes. His outfit has had to secede from the Center for Libertarian Studies and become a not-for-profit to avoid having to stop advocating for Ron Paul. He hasn't let us down, so let's not leave him high and dry.
Good Op-Ed on Ron Paul's non-interventionist Stance in the Seatle times

Ron Paul Round Table
I stumbled upon this video at you tube. It is from the ABC affiliate in Clearwater, Iowa. A local blogger and the Clearwater meetup organizer talk with the show's host about Ron Paul for a good long time.

ABC Trying to shove Ron Paul down the Memory hole
Take a look at the video coverage of Today's debates at the right hand side of this page. Not only is Ron Paul's post debate poll win not discussed, there isn't even one clip of him answering a question. The coverage is pathetic and is obviously designed to prevent those who didn't see the debate from knowing that he won, or from knowing that any of the GOP candidates are anti-war.
Disgusting doesn't even begin to describe what they've done there.

Congratulations Barry Bonds
755. Before the season is over he'll be in sole possession of the all-time home run record. Frankly I think that he won't keep his as long with A-Rod and Pujols having a good number of years left in them.
The Scare Factor
As I pointed out in "Net Banality", the hysteria being whipped up over "Net Neutrality" is unfounded nonsense. This particular article superbly points out that Commerce Department requests for some specifics as to the technological feasibility of what NN proponents claim are likely events produced nothing. No responder could offer anything of substance. Gosh....who'da thunk?
The FCC has not yet decided what to make of the underwhelming evidence it received, but the Federal Trade Commission has. The FTC recently released a staff report summarizing the results of a two-day workshop, as well as research conducted by the commission's Broadband Task Force.The FTC staff concluded that there is little evidence of actual anticompetitive conduct by broadband providers: "[T]here is little evidence to date of consumer harm from anticompetitive practices by ISPs or any other network operators; the allegations of anticompetitive conduct focus mainly on effects that may occur if certain actions, such as exclusive agreements or vertical integration, are undertaken in the future."
What we have though is FCC as bad cop FTC as good cop. Even if I agree with the FTC's conclusions, I can't help but think that in the end, the government will win and we'll be the losers.
Another Article on Lew's Site
The Liebertarians. It's really pathetic that there are actually people who claim the mantle 'libertarian' and support the Iraq war. They're misspelling libertarian.

Monsanto: Pwnd
Monsanto, which has been harrassing farmers for doing what they've done for thousands of years, saving back seed from their crops, has had 4 patents rejected due to filings by PUBPAT.
NEW YORK – July 24, 2007 -- The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has rejected four key Monsanto patents related to genetically modified crops that PUBPAT challenged last year because the agricultural giant is using them to harass, intimidate, sue - and in some cases literally bankrupt - American farmers.Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of folks.... (Hat Tip: Astoria)
Uh Oh. Chris Matthews is going to have an anurism...
Hardball has a contest on MSNBC for amateur political campaign ads. Fan-produced Ron Paul ads sit at #1 and #2.

Ron Paul Radio Ad
Austin Meetup members donated to get this ad produced (along with a newspaper ad) in anticipation of the Ames Straw Poll. It was produced by Iowa meetup members. Congrats to all involved.
