ON THE NANNY STATE AND BEATING PRESIDENTIAL DEAD HORSES
Radley Balko is pessimistic about the future of individual freedom for smokers. The tobacco companies probably sealed their own fate when, despite years of consistent victories in the courts, they began to compromise back in the 1990s. Once they gave the anti-smoking nannies half a loaf, they were doomed.
Wesley Clark is probably finished as a candidate, so this might be beside the point, but Democracy Now has some startling information on his possible culpability in Kosovo civilian massacres. See, in particular, the section on the commuter train near the end. Hat tip: Jim Henley .
