Today has turned out to be one hell of a bloggin' day! Good night.

From the Yahoo! News and the Associated Press: While acknowledging some have labeled him [Harry Browne] politically irrelevant, Browne cast his party as the most viable alternative to the Republicans and Democrats, though it has lacked the vote-getting power of its Reform or Green third-party counterparts.
