Free Advice About Banks

This bit of important advice regarding banks is based on personal experience from this morning: If your laundry situation is dire and you consequently are wearing your “Freakin Sweet!” Peter Griffin boxers, and you are wearing rather tight jeans that already have a tiny rip in back, and you are walking out of the bank […]

Restricted Covenants: The Year of Jubilee

Just when you think you’ve got the Old Testament God all figured out, He throws a curveball at you. Now He literally is laying down the law throughout Leviticus, and it’s not exactly summer camp. But then in chapter 25, He explains the “Year of Jubilee” which is quite fascinating: 8 ‘And you shall count […]

Louis CK: Everything Is Amazing Right Now, and Nobody’s Happy

This is a wonderful clip passed along by Robert K. I saw Louis CK live and he was really good. As the clip below demonstrates, he has a pretty cool moral code as far as comics go. (Notice how Conan can’t even proceed because he realizes Louis CK is on a roll and that his […]

I noted two weeks ago that the monetary base had dropped significantly in the new year, and wondered whether Bernanke had come to his senses. Looks like that’s a big fat negatory:

Bernanke Stakes His Reputation on CPI

Wow, I can’t believe Ron Paul wrung it out of him. But at around 4:45, Bernanke says that if price inflation really heats up, he will concede that his approach to the financial crisis was wrong. I suggest watching the whole video to see the exact context of his daring statement. (HT2LRC)

Murphy Interviewed on Young Americans for Liberty

I really like the podcast interface. (If that’s not the word I want, let me know. I am not totally familiar with the Intertubes just yet.) The Ron Paul vanguard talks with me about some basic economics from the PIG to Capitalism as well as the forthcoming PIG to the Great Depression and the New […]
