Bullets

Attention GKC fans: [Chesterton Pilgrimage to Rome](http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en&gl=us&ref=thedailyeudemon.com#m%5F23). November 12-20\. $3,700 from JFK. The deadline for registration passed, but they've extended it a few days. Dale Ahlquist is leading. I know Dale personally. He's an engaging guy with a real nice demeanor. And it's Rome. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Abbie turns 18 today. I'd post a picture, but she's gotten too pretty for this blog. I don't want to catalyze any stalking. If you want to see a picture of my daughter, just shoot me an email. I'll send you an underwear shot . . . of me. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* The intelligent Mary Kochan reviews Dinesh D'Souza's [*2016: Obama's America*](http://catholiclane.com/the-president-without-a-country-a-review-of-2016-obamas-america/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Presidential conventions are perhaps the most shameful display of political eroticism ever known to man. Although it might cost the Republicans at the polls, I kinda hope [the hurricane derails it](http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444270404577605643222916070.html?mod=WSJ%5Fhpp%5FMIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsTop&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I'd feel cleaner watching a "Dirty Prince Harry in Vegas" video than full coverage of the RNC. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* If you don't think America is lost, ask yourself, "How could such ostentatious hokum give a party a boost in the polls?" Like it does every four years. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I love a good screed. I used to write them occasionally here at TDE, but I always felt a little guilty afterwards. Thomas DiLorenzo, I hear, might be the master screedist, and he has a new book: *Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth about Government*. [The erudite David Gordon reviews it here](http://mises.org/daily/6162/DiLorenzo-Devastates-the-State?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Gordon is, I gather, kinda the resident philosopher at the Mises Institute. I've been consistently impressed with his work, and he's impressed by this latest DiLorenzo slant on government (yes, I know: he's plugging a book published by his own organization). I would buy it, but it's merely a collection of short articles, many of which, I'm guessing, I can find on the Internet. Still, it's probably a fine contribution to the art of alternative thinking. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Funny Fallon: "Mattel just unveiled a new Barbie that is being referred to as the Drag Queen Barbie. Confused child sold separately."
