A couple of years ago, Cato web guru Brian Kieffer created a fun Flash application for me to track our president's promotion or demotion of liberty.

I hadn't updated in awhile, but now that the election's over and the new Congress is in session, perhaps it's time to dust it off again.

I give you the completely arbitrary scientifically accurate, peer-reviewed "GW Bush Libertymeter."

It's down two points today.
