- We Won't Raid Medical Marijuana Producers . . . so Long as They Aren't Successful at It. And Don't Talk About It. The Agitator (2010-02-17). In which President Barack Obama’s DEA continues to launch assaults on medical marijuana producers. I’m sure he’ll get around to stopping that real soon now, perhaps shortly after he’s done withdrawing American troops from Iraq and closing Guantanamo. (Linked Wednesday 2010-02-17.)

When Primo Levi, as a newly arrived prisoner at a Nazi concentration camp, reached for an icicle to quench his desperate thirst, a guard knocked the icicle out of his hand. To Levi's question "Warum?" ("Why?"), the guard replied with what was destined to become a famous quote: "Hier ist…

COLIN WARD, RIP: My favorite left-anarchist writer, Colin Ward, has passed away at age 85.
