The Best Bill Hicks Clip

For Rothbardians who don’t know him, this is Hicks at his finest (naughty words, watch out):

American: The Bill Hicks Story

Sorry, I forgot who emailed me this…but thanks, and here ya go folks. I didn’t appreciate Bill Hicks when I was younger and saw his clips on Comedy Central’s “Stand Up, Stand Up,” but now of course I totally “get it,” as they say. I don’t think he’s nearly as funny as Carlin, but he’s […]

More “Funny” Frankness From the Government

HT2 Alex Tabarrok. This is apparently real (as the message at the end suggests).

“This Is the United States.”

I only listened to the first 2:30 or so of this (HT2LRC); I’m an important man with big responsibilities. I think this guy and his wife ended up going to jail. But the thing that cracked me up, is listen (in the first 2 minutes or so) when the Canadian citizen says that he shouldn’t […]

Paultards, TeaBaggers, Birthers, Birchers, Truthers, FairTaxers, etc.

What’s funny is that all these groups are despised and mocked by the likes of Rachel Maddow. But yet within these groups, some of the others are despised and mocked. For example, I am a big Ron Paul fan, and I was a speaker at the Cincinnati Tea Party. Even so, when a guy approached […]

Murphy Transparency, Part 1

You know, a lot of times I feel hesitant to act on my personal views, because I am so afraid that I’m doing the very behavior of my enemies. For example, if I meet with some libertarian guys to talk “strategy,” I feel like we are no different from Marxists. After all, aren’t we plotting […]
