Another anarchist attack? That's so 1900, and I question whether they really are anarchists. Anarchy is a tricky concept, but it's too often applied to anyone who advocates violence and the overthrow of the existing order, whereas the most thoroughgoing anarchist eschews all (all) violence because it promotes order. * * * * * * * Funny Kimmel: "The Octomom, who filed for bankruptcy, has agreed to star in an adult film. They're expecting that once it hits the shelves, it could sell tens of copies." * * * * * * * It's May, so it's commencement scandal month at Catholic colleges and universities across the land. There's no shortage of 'em this year. Here's a list. * * * * * * * Perhaps the biggest beer-tasting festival in the world starts in a week.

The same piece of capital cannot be used in two ways. Every bit of capital, therefore, which is given to a shiftless and inefficient member of society, who makes no return for it, is diverted from a reproductive use; but if it was put into reproductive use, it would have to be granted in wages to an efficient and productive laborer. Hence the real sufferer by that kind of benevolence which consists in an expenditure of capital to protect the good-for-nothing is the industrious laborer."
