Hey, everyone …
We don’t go “web-only” with a FIREHOSE FRIDAY — no email or social media editions, everything at the site — very often these days. A few months back we switched to putting in a LOT of content every day and just formatting 60-70 items into those other editions, only showing the rest on the web site.
Today is one of those rare other occasions. I’ll explain why, but first, I’ll let you know that we’ll probably have AT LEAST 100 news stories, opinion pieces, and audio/video links lined up for you here at the web edition by the time you read this.
So, why? I’m traveling (I’m in Clearwater, Florida, a couple of hours from my home, accompanying my wife to a conference and hoping we can work a mini-vacation into the schedule), and when I’m traveling I’m working on a laptop at odd hours, etc. We still get just as much content in, but I sometimes make the call to go “web-only” both because it’s easier and because it’s always possible that some travel-related event will intervene while I’m trying to mess with all that formatting. So now you know.
Of course, whenever we go FIREHOSE FRIDAY on you, I also make it a point to mention that we’re a reader-supported publication and that you’re a reader. Not to put too fine a point on it, but last month I made about $100 and Steve made about $50 for our work producing the freedom movement’s daily newspaper.
I’m not complaining … but I also wouldn’t mind a drink with a little umbrella in it on this here “mini-vacation,” at the expense of whomever might care to buy said drink. The proxy cash bar is open at:

Have a great weekend, and if I’m not e.g. eaten by sharks after an unwise swimming decision powered by drinks with little umbrellas in them, we will be back with the regular editions on Monday.
Yours in liberty,
