BURGER KING VS. HENRY VIII
WHEN IT COMES to fresh, tasty food, who had it better? Henry VIII, king of England from 1509 to 1547, or you and me going to Burger King with $10 in our pockets? \"The Burger King Whopper is actually a combination of foods from different parts of the world that wouldn't have come together for most of human history,\" says historian (and Reason contributor) Katrina Gulliver. And Henry VIII \"would never have seen a potato\" either, without which a delicious side of fries would be impossible.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF A THIRD PARTY
THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY has always been fractious, but its infighting has intensified since the Mises Caucus, a faction opposed to \"wokeism,\" took control of the organization. Many of the party's more socially liberal members have exited since the takeover and in some cases, they're trying to take the party's state affiliates with them.

DRUGS: A WIN FOR PHARMACOLOGICAL FREEDOM IN COLORADO
A DECADE AGO, Colorado became the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use, something 20 other states have done since then. Colorado set a new precedent for drug policy reform in November, when its voters approved a ballot initiative that decriminalizes a wide range of conduct related to consuming five natural psychedelics.

Jennifer Sey Keeps Getting Canceled for Speaking Up
In 2008, Jennifer Sey was subjected to a vicious backlash after the 1986 USA Gymnastics national champion released Chalked Up, the first memoir published about rampant abuse in the sport. Her new book, Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice, feels like a continuation of that story, detailing Sey's ouster from the jeans juggernaut-where she was set to become its first female CEO-after she again ruffled feathers earlier this year. This time she wasn't speaking out against abuse in sports; she was speaking out against COVID-19 school closures.
