Today, it is I who am under the gun. Well, not really, as I have well over 5 hours to submit an entry to this blog. However, I feel that even if I took that extra time, I would have very little to say. I have no particular rant today, nothing has grabbed my attention enough to write a any number of paragraphs to do it justice. So, I will just comment on a few peripheral things.
First; Eric sent me this link today. I had no idea that people have blogging conventions, but apparently so. This particular convention had some (a great deal of) libertarian brainiacs in attendance. Now that I know they’re out there, I will have to make the effort to visit their pages from time to time.
Last; There is a group of individuals who recently filed a federal lawsuit demanding that if any military action is going to take place in Iraq, the President must first ask permission from Congress. On one hand, it’s disheartening that such a lawsuit has to be filed, as it is clearly an exclusive Congressional power to declare war. Perhaps our founders made it so for a reason? On the other hand, I am very happy to see this action go forward. Although I have no illusions as to what the outcome will be, it serves to bring the issue up for debate.
I’ve thought of something else to write about! However, for continuity’s sake, I will make a separate entry as the subject matter is wholly deserving of one.
Stay tuned.
