When I say philosophy edition I mean political philosophy and when I say political philosophy I mean readings on Libertarianism. I did some reading this weekend to try to get my mind going. Some days I really miss having serious academic discussions. These days my life consists of debates about tuxedo t-shirts and phone calls about paying dues.

• Libertarianism and the Left

My thoughts on Watchmen: Very enjoyable film, no way to include everything from the graphic novel. Snyder did his best, definitely worth seeing, even if you don’t know anything about it.

The following links contain spoilers, so unless you’ve read the graphic novel tread lightly.
