There has been quite a bit of discussion lately concerning the (oh, God how I hate to utter these words) Libertarian candidate for President, Bob Barr and his campaign contributions to Senate and House races and whether there was Libertarian opposition in the races or not.

I have recently heard from many wonderful folks in the Libertarian Party that support the Barr-Root ticket; people that say we need to rally round the candidates and that I'm committing the cardinal sin of "cut and run" rather than putting the Party first.

I'm having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year; perhaps due to the fact that in a long string of lean Christmas', this one seems to be the worst.

Thankfully, with all the new technology and internets, I can now give virtual presents without costing a dime! Thank you, Al Gore. So, without further ado, here are my gifts for Christmas 2007.

Being that Thanksgiving Day is only a couple days away, I thought it might be a good idea for me to jot down a few of the things I am thankful for this season:

"Living is easy with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me"
