Chief Wana Dubie is the Libertarian candidate for State Representative in Missouri's 150th District.
He has a marijuana leaf tattooed on his forehead and once
painted bullseye on his roof so the 'government could find him.' After a 5-year sentence for growing marijuana, he's running for office and with hopes for a 2008 bid for governor:
Dubie vs. Blunt.

Libertarians, the forgotten voters (pdf) For those on the trail of the elusive swing voter,
it may be most notable that the libertarian vote
shifted sharply in 2004. Libertarians preferred
George W. Bush over Al Gore by 72 to 20 percent,
but Bush’s margin dropped in 2004 to 59-38 over
John Kerry. Congressional voting showed a similar
swing from 2002 to 2004. Libertarians apparently
became disillusioned with Republican overspending,
social intolerance, civil liberties infringements,
and the floundering war in Iraq. If that trend continues
into 2006 and 2008, Republicans will lose
elections they would otherwise win. (via Andrew Sullivan)

Haters! The Libertarian candidate for the 24th District of the Kansas House was canvassing the local Mission, KS Arts and Eats festival, speaking with attendees and distributing campaign literature. Suddenly, a councilwoman approached him with a police officer and informed him he had to leave and would be charged with trespassing if he returned, an action which the Mayor has publicly denounced and has launched an investigation into.

1000 Angry Monkeys, Blogging About Politics... The
partisan political blogosphere has been humming along nicely for the last several years. But where the
progressive and conservative ideologies intersect, at technology, they can possibly be best categorized as libertarian, particularly if limited to the development, growth, corporatization, regulation, and taxation of the internet. As such, there's much news worthy of our attention. More inside...

Hindsight on Iraq is 20/20 -- but views diverge.
Reason magazine asks notable libertarians, conservatives, and academics -- from
Instapundit Glenn Reynolds (one word: "win") to
Illuminatus! author Robert Anton Wilson ("Bush has used [the invasion] as an excuse to destroy the last few tattered remnants of the Bill of Rights") -- if they would have chosen differently in 2003, knowing how the war would develop.

A Libertarian for Kerry. John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the
EFF and a former campaign manager for Dick Cheney, is taking his libertarianism into the Democratic camp. "...we need something -- and I think it’s governmental -- to reregulate the market and make it free, because the multinationals have taken it away." (More inside).

In an article called
"The Sociobiological Conceit", Gene Callahan says darwinism is logically flawed and inherently self-contradictory: "if moral ideas are simply an 'illusion' fostered on us by our genes then so are all of our other ideas – including the ideas of sociobiology!".
Callahan, fyi, belongs to the ultra-libertarian circles of the
Mises Institute and
LewRockwell. Would any of the evolutionists among us care to
politely refute him?

The Burqa Incident. British freethinker
Sarah Lawrence dresses in a burqa to make a point at the US Libertarian Party Conference, and causes a hotel-wide security alert. Looks like one of those systemic sense-of-humour failures that conspire to spiral out of control these days. But isn't it a
bit worrying when even
Libertarian Party officials start threatening to report their own
conference speakers to the FBI for suspicious dress sense?
