I would be a terrible politician. Put me in a room with someone I mostly agree with and I will quickly find where we disagree and argue about that. So this is probably a terrible idea I have, but here it is: hunting is not a constitutionally protected right. We should make hunting illegal absent gun control legislation.

There is no constitutionally protected right to hunt. There is a constitutionally protected right to bear arms. We should tactically ban the formerly, essentially holding it hostage, until some concessions are made on the latter.

As is I think this is a terrible idea, but I have this nagging feeling that there's something maybe here.

Must be so sweet when you can get the local politicians to do your Union bashing for you:

It fascinating to me what Mandela accomplished from his podium (a prison cell) compared to political activists with loads of funding and network contracts. There's a reason our side tends to win in the long run : we attract the better talent. And Mandela was clearly one of the best.

Watching the Government shutdown saga, I can't help but think (hope?) that we are watching the death throes of the Republican party as we know it. Like a failing regime, they cannot yet face their fate and they cannot accomplishment any policy goals, but they still wield enough residual power to inflict widespread damage on the population, which they do mainly to reassure themselves that they are still a politically relevant force. Eventually, there will be realignment into two politically viable coalitions, but until then I think we should expect a very bumpy ride.
