A spectre is haunting America - the spectre of middle-aged white people doing heroin, abusing alcohol, and/or killing themselves. Alone among age and ethnic groups in the US, and alone among counterparts in advanced countries, the all-cause mortality rate for white Americans aged 45-54...

A couple posters here should be pretty excited about this proposal. Wonder what'll happen with it. Part of me thinks this is a good issue for a Left-Libertarian coalition to accomplish something but I'm pretty pessimistic about its chances.

It's a big world and there are a lot of things going on in it. Greece's parliamentary elections are today and SYRIZA, the Coalition of the Radical Left, is about to scoop up a win but it's not clear if they're going to get enough seats for an outright majority (37% of the vote needed for that)...

I'm shocked! Super surprised. Are internet conservatives JCDing this guy or clutching their pearls in horror? http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/house-majority-whip-scalise-confirms-he-spoke-to-white-nationalists-in-2002/2014/12/29/7f80dc14-8fa3-11e4-a900-9960214d4cd7_story.html...
