Anarchy in the USA: Ron Paul and the Sex Pistols on Jay Leno Tonight

…in just a few minutes.
Update: see the comments for some reactions. I’m sure YouTube video will be circulating before too long. Actually, it’s up now, though it might be taken down quickly if the Tonight Show lawyers get wind of it. Hat tip to Jackson posting at Reason for the link.
Update 2: here’s Jesse Walker’s [...]

Allen Dulles’s Family Jewels

The New York Times has dedicated a blog to the many accounts of spying on Americans, wiretapping journalists, consorting with the mob, breaking and entering, plotting assassinations, and other varieties of skulduggery found in the CIA’s “family jewels” file.

With $5.3 million in the bank now and a fundraising target of $12 million for the fourth quarter, Paul will be able to spend competitively in the early primary states, especially New Hampshire, which already has a libertarian culture, a strong antiwar backlash [...]
