Correction

I just want to bring to everyone’s attention that in a recent post I incorrectly implied that Walter Block was drinking alcohol at a party when he was debating fractional reserve banking with Bob Lawson. Walter corrected me and said he doesn’t drink alcohol. What I meant was, between Bob Lawson and Walter, they had […]

Headed to Seattle

I am the hardest working ancap in show business. After being told that Down Is Up, I’m off to another Mises Circle, this one in Seattle. I have a backlog of blogging to do; I hope to catch up in the hotel. So much economic ignorance; so little time. Speaking of which, in today’s Mises […]

Murphy on Kudlow Discussing Geithner

I agree that my talk radio boys really blew this one. I can’t remember who said specifically what, but […]

Obama to Head UN Security Council?

Amazingly, President Obama will become the first United States president to chair the important […]

Congressman Joe Wilson Heckles Obama

How do you guys and gals feel about this? I can’t decide. On the one hand, I think it’s great that someone shatters the mystique of a presidential address. On the other hand, how incredibly tacky. Watch Biden and Pelosi during this short clip. Biden looks crushed; “I can’t believe these Republicans.” Pelosi is more […]
