Monday links

Happy Halloween. A few things while I sit at Vancouver airport.

1) The dire threat of marijuana-laced Halloween candy.

2) The latest for the "cops behaving badly" file.

3) Radley Balko dresses up for Halloween. It's epic.


5) Tim Kowal at The League on OWS vs. crony capitalism.

6) Reason.tv interviews CURE's Star Parker about why the government should get out of welfare.


8) A guest-poster at Naked Capitalism on how Europe's economy is going kaput.

9) Hasan M. Elahi at the New York Times on giving the FBI want it wants.

10) George Papandreou is ankling.

From Naked Capitalism: And further note that the flagging European growth is the result of the austerity hairshirt being imposed on highly indebted economies.

COMPLETE TRASH. There is, outside of perhaps Ireland and Greece, no austerity. These governments are only cutting the rate of increase of spending while doing nothing to lift the regulations that choke economic growth. This 'Naked Capitalism' person, Yves, is a naked idiot. The only country that actually attempted austerity is Ireland and they are actually starting to show real growth now.
