Ecstasy’s a good drug for treating anxiety and stuff:
Just ask Marcela Gomez and Sue Stevens, two women who used MDMA in underground therapy. Gomez, 47, a rape victim, spent years suffering from panic attacks. Ecstasy, she says, helped her express her fears more openly. “MDMA lets you open a door and not be traumatized,” she [...]
Little Green Footballs has discovered the Portland/JTTF story but he’s wrong about the local paper’s position on it. Portland’s full of crazies, Charles, but the Oregonian was right on this issue.
Just to be clear, Portland didn’t withdraw from the JTTF because of any sensitivity to civil liberties or fear of the PATRIOT Act, Tom DeLay, [...]
Once again, Washington’s state legislature has declined to extend their employment rights law to the categories of sexual orientation and sexual identity. This is apparently a legislative ritual – every year the bill is introduced, and every year it’s defeated. This time, the AFL-CIO blames Microsoft:
Last month, Microsoft Corporation secretly revoked its support for the [...]
Andrew Sullivan seems a bit obsessed with ole Glenn Reynolds these days. The opening of this piece is weird given that Reynolds didn’t actually blog the event in question:
INSTAPUNDIT: The president’s press conference last night was, I think, perhaps his best ever. He was confident, in command of the facts, moderate in his views, engaging [...]

Hypocrisy in politics isn’t exactly news, and accusations of hypocrisy are rarely covered for that very reason. The issue with filibusters is [...]
In the course of reviewing an LA Press Club event, Luke Ford made an uncomplimentary remark about John Patrick Frey, the LA blogger who goes by “Patterico:”
Blogger Patterico had the misfortune of following Kaus, the model of an unpretentious intellectual, and said one-tenth as much as Mickey in ten times as much time (even though [...]
Portland city commissioner Dan Saltzman hasn’t lost his mind. He’s going to vote against Mayor Tom Potter’s welcome mat for terrorists at tonight’s city council meeting:
One can be concerned about the far reach of the USA Patriot Act and still support the Joint Terrorism Task Force. I authored last year’s City Council resolution expressing concern [...]
Cory Doctorow, the Andrea Dworkin of civil liberties, has threatened a parody site with legal action:
He can dish it out, but he can’t take it.
Well-known “copyfighter” and sci-fi novelist Cory Doctorow can sure complain when the MPAA and RIAA try to enforce their members’ copyrights, but the instant someone infringes on Cory’s copyrights and trademarks [...]
