European Conspiracy Bask

Attention all European readers: Can you please describe the big-picture processes by which Berlusconi, Papandreou, and Zapatero were replaced? In particular, I want to know if there was a regularly scheduled election, or if there was a challenge to their party (which could happen at any time) and then their replacements weren’t elected. For example, […]

Ron Paul the Only Antiwar Candidate

I realize I make jokes a lot here, but this stuff is really serious. It is horrifying that every Republican candidate except Ron Paul is talking about “getting tough” with Iran.

Spreading the Love: Wenzel and Gordon Edition

I loved the first Cars movie because I could really identify with Lightning McQueen’s narcissism. In an effort to combat that, let me point you to two other people’s ventures to spread the word on the dangers of the State: ==> Robert Wenzel’s first podcast is up. He’s got a funky beat and a professional […]

The Demonic Twist to “Anonymous”

For a while now this “Anonymous” hacker group has given me the creeps. But this recent video release has sealed the deal for me: I don’t know what the deal is with the new message placed on the screen, calling off the operation. Someone can explain it in the comments. Anyway, this creeps me out […]
