I guess the vote is 2-1, so it’s individual items until/unless I get a better response sample.

Since January 14th, I thought. TPW is dead. I’ve even tried to contact its owner about buying it—-but he hasnt responded.

Individual items work best for me. I don’t mind scrolling down to see all the other headlines from the last time I logged in, even it it takes a page or two.

BTW: What has happened to TPW.com? Seems there are no update there since Jan 24.

Keep up the good work, Donny!

I like the pace increasing, and the writing is clear and concise.

Still too conservative-oriented for my taste, but I’m glad they are making more of an effort to be heard.

Eric, Ross and other folks:

I will continue republishing the LP blog, unless they ask me not to, in which case I will go to excerpts.

The question is whether I should do so as a digest or as individual items. If I understood both correctly, Ross prefers the digest, Eric prefers the individual items. Other folks here have an opinion about that?

I think you should post multiple blog posts at once, personally. Especially if the pace of them is picking up.

We come up first because we have a better google rank, and better SEO placement. We also come up above most real newspapers, radio show websites, press release aggregetors, and blogs.

In fact, we show up above the Albany Times-Union, a paper that was founded in 1857. And it has a daily circulation of 90,000.

IPR has better Google Search placement than LP.org. As a result, when you Google “libertarian,” the IPR article comes up, before the LP.org Blog version.

Keep posting the LP stuff here. It’s where I see it first. Thanks

Has the LP come out with its own stimulus plan?

Like a tax holiday on Social Security/Medicare witholding.

I don’t *know* anything about Ferguson, it should say.

I don’t anything about this Donny Ferguson, but I like his blog posts. He gets his points across well, and I enjoy reading his commentary.

I know a lot of libertarian posters here had differences with Andrew Davis, so perhaps this really is change we can all believe in.

9.7 trillion.

Why not 9.7 quadrillion, or quintillion?

What, that would be absurd?

Oh wait.
