There was a huge hubbub around a raid in Michigan this week of members of a “multi-state Christian militia.” Disclaimer. I have no idea as to the guilt or innocence of the people involved, (nor am I looking for a discussion about that), nor do I have direct knowledge at this point as to the […] A good short piece by Alex Massie in The Spectator (UK) Current laws amount to a kind of rent-seeking that protects organised crime and discriminates against both the consumer and the small producer.

Dylan’s guests […] The guest host for Shepard Smith’s Studio B on Fox had Fox News Judicial Analyst former Judge Andrew Napolitano, who is a libertarian in favor of legalization, on the show to talk about the proposed law in California. Napolitano was great. But does anybody know who the schmuck host was?
