Hot off the presses, this just in... The MN state Senate has just passed Conceal Carry Reform by a vote of 37-30. If any of you watched the debate in the Senate chamber this evening, it was quite amusing. Two DFLers broke the traditional rules of decorum and opted to instead wear FLAK jackets. If anyone is nuts it's got to be them, not the law abiding citizens who will soon be able to exercise their right to self-defense.

Here is a good Economist article on the drug war for those Libertarians among us. I am sure our Con law professors could find an Equal Protection violation in the US drug policy somewhere - see if you can find it in the article! (The article itself is old, but for some reason the website had a link to an older print edition in place of this weeks). It is still an interesting read.

Newt Gingrich gave an interesting speech yesterday at the American Enterprise Institute. In it, he argued that unless the State Department can make bold changes, the reputation of the United States in the global arena will be harmed and our ability to effect change hampered. Our reputation is harmed when we fail diplomatically, becasue we are then required to win militarily. The Center for Security Policy called the speech "one of the most important foreign policy addresses by a former national leader since Winston Churchill" gave his Fulton (Iron Curtain) Speech in March of 1946. I don't know about that, but read the speech if you get the chance.
