Didn't even realize until very recently that one of my favorite recent musical discoveries, Frank Turner, self-identifies as libertarian. This Guardian article discusses the backlash to the press's publicizing that Frank is a classical liberal...

David Ranta has been exonerated of killing Hasidic rabbi Chaskel Werzberger after serving 23 years in prison. Police coerced a teenage witness to give a false identification of Ranta, and prosecutors relied on two jailhouse snitches who gave false testimony in order to obtain favorable plea...

Thank you guys. I've always admired your political culture. I secretly cheer for the Golden Gophers against the giant megalith red and grey dunderhead team where I come from. I'm going to see your great songwriter Craig Finn on Thursday. And you've given RP his best result yet!

Dear Forum, The longer this race goes, the better position RP is in. More people turn into RP fans every day. Slowly but surely. Tonights results assure that this race goes on and on and on.
