Potpourri
==> The rise of Queen Tatiana… (Come hear her perform in Nashville before she declares herself Empress.)
==> People like to show videos of bullies/thieves “getting theirs” from somebody with a gun, but I prefer this “Les Mis”-esque story of mercy infinitely more.
==> This lady can defeat Ninjas. If you get bored skip a few minutes into the video.
==> Popular Science reviews Porcfest. No mention of me, which is odd for an empirical publication.
==> If this story is accurate, the US “justice system” is even more screwed up than you probably realize.
==> My take on Australia’s carbon tax repeal.
No mention of me, which is odd for an empirical publication.
Libertarianism seems odd to a lot of people, so it’s OK to foster that misunderstanding.
But if they mentioned you, then people would start checking out Austrian Economics.
I read a Washington Post story on PorcFest a couple weeks ago that was reasonably fair. As fair as could be expected from them, at least. Sure, it included the occasional pot-shot about how the crowd was “mostly white” and stuff like that, but it wasn’t an outright smear-job or anything.
