The good news is that Trader Joe’s will be coming to Atlanta. A Midtown and Sandy Springs store will be the first two with ten more to follow. Alas, I’ll still need to fly to CA to get my cheap single malt, as the dunderheads under the Gold Dome don’t’ allow liquor to be sold in places that sell non-liquor.

The bad news is the Patriot Act was renewed.

The sad news is Harry Browne (1996 & 2000 LP Presidential Nominee) has passed. While his foreign policy would have been a disaster and his proposals were out there, he had an eloquence that most in the LP lack. I still find myself using some of his lines to describe the failure of government.
