Obama has just announced that he intends to renew his ‘outreach’ to the Muslim world. Perhaps this gooey sentiment will be as effective as Obama’s many failed efforts as a community organizer in Chicago, but I digress. My question is does Obama think his vaporous words can change the hearts and minds of Arabs and [...]
This is the moment when the right-wingers, the hard core Republicans who are mostly evangelical Christians, are ‘jumping the shark’. For those of you who don’t know, “jumping the shark” refers to the episode of an incredibly long running sitcom, Happy Days, in which a main character, “Fonzi” (also known as ‘the Fonz’) jumped over [...]
I happen to be a serious poker player, online and live. I don’t play all the time, but enough to know the online world and its place in the larger poker scene very well. This action by the Feds is stunning to those of us who play in a number of ways that should be [...]
I keep reading articles in the “liberty” blogosphere as to whether unions are relevant or not, or whether they “work” or one author even talks about once “liking” them and now not liking them. How absurd. Guess what, the utility of unions are rightfully be determined by the parties who use them – not right [...]
President’s don’t create jobs. Jobs are created as a consequence of wealth creation, so if the country begins to create more wealth, it will create more jobs. The question then becomes, how is wealth created? Go back to Econ 101 folks – but I bet most of you can’t even answer this most basic question [...]
It’s pretty clear by now that any examination of Jared Loughner’s motivations will reveal only a sordid mess of incoherent rage, impotence and pathology that culminated in Saturday’s horrific mass murder. And yet the drumbeat from the hard left was immediate, and concluded that this is the fault of Sarah Palin and/or the Tea Party, [...]
Where to begin with the “deal” announced by Obama last night? I suppose I could start with the punch line; 900 billion in new debt is the kind of compromise we can expect from the newly pragmatic Obama and the Tea Party congress. Now don’t get me wrong, I actually understand Obama’s reasoning for going [...]
Libertarians have little in common with the Tea Party movement, despite spin from the Cato Institute.
I’m back! For the past three months I have been developing a new web property and business and simply couldn’t justify spending time on the blog. I’ve also taken advantage of this time to think a bit about what I’ve learned so far as a blogger and what direction I want to take my blog. [...]
One might think that a libertarian would be more hysterical about ‘health care reform’ than the Republicans and its direct-action cadres, the Neo-Con-Gelicals of the Tea Party, 9/12 groups and other self-styled ‘activist’ organizations. It’s true that I do believe the agenda of the Progressives is hopelessly misguided and destructive to the fabric of liberty [...]
