WordPress Bask
(For newcomers, “bask” = “blog ask” because free bloggers don’t beg!)
I’m not sure when it happened–it may have been when my web guy updated to a newer version of WordPress–but if you try to use the Category pull-down menu (off to the left) you’ll see that it doesn’t work. It used to take you to an archive of all the posts with that particular Category label, but now it just takes you to a single post with that label.
My web guy is not sure what caused this. Does anyone else have any clues before I turn him loose and engage the labor theory of value?
Judge Napolitano on Bundy Ranch Standoff
For those who think Andrew Napolitano is some lightweight celebrity pundit, you are totally wrong. I listened to him lecture on Constitutional law when he was down at Mises University last summer, just because I figured, “Well I really ought to say that I saw him teach.” I went in the back, thinking I would read some other stuff so that I wasn’t “wasting” an hour.
HOLY COW. He is literally one of the best lecturers I have ever seen in person. I was absolutely spellbound.
Anyway, you can see that he gives a very nuanced explanation of the legal environment on the Bundy situation:
My Interview With Liberty.me
They describe me in the comments as “possibly the best karaoke singer/comedian/economist in the world.” If they added, “from upstate New York” I would be a shoo-in.
Welcome to the Infinite Banking Institute YouTube Channel
Many of you may know that my work with Carlos Lara (see our book) has led to a formal collaboration with Nelson Nash and David Stearns to educate the public on the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC). For a quick autobiographical introduction to the topic, see my essay here.
We’ve formed a YouTube channel for the Infinite Banking Institute. The first two videos are now up:

Two Married Men Narrowly Avoid Almost Certain Destruction
These guys need to be applauded for their wisdom and prudence. The military man eventually gets cocky and engages; the civilian man knows that this is a war in which no one wins.
Most Alarming Footage of Bundy Standoff I’ve Seen to Date
There was really almost a shoot-out a few days ago. I’m not saying that to whoop up emotions, I’m just making sure everybody realizes how much this escalated.
New Posts on ObamaCare and Immigration
At Mises Canada I have two new posts:
==> This one is fun. I just walk through a NYT article on New York state’s experience with ObamaCare to show how it is screwing certain people. Oh yeah, the article was singled out by Paul Krugman to show how great ObamaCare is.
==> In this one I take on Mean Gene Callahan on immigration. You will need to follow the link if you want to see the meat of it, but let me quote a tangential issue that I think people often miss in these debates:
No individual has the power to actually form current government policy. It is not a “cop out” for me to say that the best thing would be to privatize land, get rid of the welfare state and government schools, etc. etc., in which case “unrestricted immigration” by the federal government would be A-OK. Regardless of what I say on immigration policy, the government is going to do whatever it’s going to do. Once we realize that the purpose of our pontificating is to say what the ideal outcome would be, we can stop tying ourselves in knots by talking about “politically possible” options.
