- “The world is full of stupid and angry people, and most of them live in Portland.” Another great opening line — and another great takedown of social-justice pecksniffery — from Kevin D. Williamson.
- Don’t like hate speech? resist it with free speech says civil libertarian Nadine Strossen (stating what ought to be, but no longer is, obvious).
- Ever wanted to know how to hire an “escort”? Maggie McNeill tells all. (Well, not quite all; she doesn’t get into prices.) This is part of Reason’s daring “Burn After Reading” issue.
- Vermont passes the first-ever law cracking down on databrokers. (Again, not the way it should be done; OTOH these information sellers are privacy-invading scum.)
- Obama. Yes, the problem was he was just too good for us (or so he thought).
- The HuffPost (owned by, of all things, Verizon) doxes a woman and exposes her to harassment and threats for the crime of being retweeted by President Trump. Added: Here’s a link with more info about the impact on her innocent family.)
- He was just a dancin’ and a backflippin’ and a shootin’ up the bar. No problem, though, ’cause he’s a highly trained FBI agent so it must be okay. (Per jc2k in comments)
- The great Wendy McElroy on cryptocoin and catallaxy. (No, I’d never heard of that word, either.)
- Why you should spend time doing nothing.
You might have to think about this one for a minute:
I’s need more nothing time for sure but it won’t be today!
I sent out the NYT Obama article to a bunch of friends this morning and now I am expecting the onslaughts!
Andrew Tuohy has a hilarious take on our highly trained and professional FBI agent:

And why is said Enforcer of our Masters’ Sacred Wills not being identified? Or arrested? Or (so far) fired? Why is even his face being protected from the sight of We the Plebes?
Also yesterday was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day, and it “Seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge”

“Also yesterday was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day”
Oh my, how could anybody of my generation have forgotten that? How remiss of me!
There was a time I sincerely wondered what “she and Billie Joe McAllister” tossed off the Tallahatchie Bridge (an aborted fetus was always the #1 guess). There was a much longer time when I thought I’d pitch my radio through a window if it ever played that inescapable song again.

I just happen to be reading a bio on John Adams and other Founders, and noticed interesting parallels to Adam’s opinions of himself, his countrymen and how he thought he knew what’s best for them. Obama apparently feels the same.

Battle of Midway, June 3-6, 1942

Definitely a vastly bigger deal than Billie Joe McAllister jumping off the Tallahatchie Bridge.
