...Libertarian" is political shorthand for leave me alone. Democrats have not been very good traditionally at leave-me-alone politics. Malcolm Wallop, the Republican former Senator of Wyoming, got elected in 1976 partly because of a memorable political ad he ran of a cowboy packing a portable toilet strapped to the rear of his horse, allegedly the result of a federal regulation. And while the Democrats will never be natural Barry Goldwater libertarians, a young Republican named Ryan Sager uses regional polling in a new book, The Elephant in the Room, to demonstrate that people in the inner Mountain states...
Liberal Democrats and conservative Westerners have also made common cause over civil-liberties issues. In Montana last year, for example, the incumbent G.O.P.

And if Streep didn't take the trouble to memorize her speech, she did at least read a decent one. "Oh, shut up," she seemingly ad-libbed when a few people groaned, "it's not that long...
...Monday’s Crimson, Interim University President Bok said he did not know about the University’s indirect holdings in PetroChina and Sinopec, and that the investments must relate to something that happened prior to his interim presidency. As long as the current ad hoc approach to Darfur-related divestment remains in place, we can expect to see the incoming Harvard president make similarly blinkered statements, which will ultimately undermine Harvard’s good standing on this issue. By contrast, the implementation of a targeted divestment model as a matter of policy provides...
