All over the place

Hillary on abortion.

Bush's lack of understanding of the market and freedom.

How to use beer, lots and lots of beer, to save yourself from an avalanche (via Balko)

Also via Balko, The Brett Favre Excuse-o-Matic. Kind of brilliant. I hope Favre retires soon, maybe in one season. He really was great, but no more.

I think this is Zen, but even if not it's cool.

The Aviator as libertarian homage, or essentially a lie? I side with the first more, as the second guy seems to simply have an axe to grind. Some of his points are valid, but a lot miss the point. He criticizes Hughes for buying politicians and getting favors from them, and the movie for not dealing with it. The movie does deal with, perhaps too briefly, but it is in there is put it in context. So the question isn't did he do it, but rather what was the specific nature of it? Did he try to get special favors for himself and his companies, or was he simply countering others doing that? I don't know, and Louis doesn't help us find out. His other criticisms mostly show that he doesn't understand the difference between private and public actions, but that seems to be a typical left-liberal problem, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. His last point does seem valid, but given all the other problems with the review, I don't trust his accuracy.
