The Challenge of Achieving a Liberal Order — The American Magazine
Arnold Kling reviews <em>Violence and Social Orders</em>, by Douglass North, Barry Weingast, and John Wallis; and <em>The Origins of Political Power</em>, by Francis Fukuyama. To me it sounds as though the authors are elaborating on Franz Oppenheimer.

The Ryan-Romney Budget: Proponents of smaller government may be unpleasantly surprised.
It doesn't balance the budget, it increases spending, it increases government revenue as a share of GDP (in theory). What is there to like?

Misleading Images on Defense Spending
The Heritage Foundation notes that defense spending has declined as a percentage of total federal spending, and thinks that proves the government should increase the size of the Pentagon's budget. David Boaz explains the flaw in their logic.

Some Questions About Government, Arnold Kling
Arnold Kling meditates on the flaws of large organizations, and wonders why government-enthusiasts believe their favorite institution is immune to them. At least large corporations are vulnerable to competition from new firms (unless a government prevents that).

Law and order in Kenya: BABS Security Services Ltd

Major Crimes of the United States Government: 1776-1993
Not complete (e.g., the Tuskegee syphilis experiment isn't mentioned) and probably not always right (e.g., the author implies that the U.S. government knew Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked), but a good starting point for research.
