Sholom the anarchist rabbi, who was a guest speaker at July’s Manhattan Libertarian Party meeting, and who was kind enough to bring along several excellent co-speakers from the heroic Iraq Veterans Against the War, gives a shout-out to our Serf City print edition. Also reading the dead-tree Serf City is one Sassafras Lowrey at Fuchsia […]

I’ve been so distracted away from politics this summer that I hadn’t even noticed that the NY legislature and Governor Spitzer quietly legalized ticket scalping last month. Gotham Gazette takes a look at the new law today in its “Issue of the Week“: On June 1, Governor Eliot Spitzer [signed] legislation that removes from the books

I am a member of the New York Entrepreneur Meetup Group and I almost fell off my chair when I saw a group email suggesting that entrepreneurs should support single payer health care ( aka socialized medicine).  Big government is certainly wonderful for those entrepreneurs who happen to be chosen as the recipients of government contracts.  Who

New York City’s long wait is over. The latest paper edition of Serf City has arrived from the printer. And if I do say so myself, it’s a great issue. Some of the highlights include Joseph Dobrian on the recent gay pride parade, Matthew Lysiak on the Atlantic Yards eminent domain scheme, Bob Armstrong on

Mayor Bloomberg’s congestion pricing folly just keeps getting worse. Today the New York Times is reporting that not only will drivers be charged $8 to enter Manhattan below 86th Street, those of us who are already here will be charged $8 to leave! Not only that, it’s going to cost you money to get in

This isn’t just another gratuitous Ron Paul post — it’s a gratuitous Ron Paul post with a New York angle. After Ron’s recent appearance on The Colbert Report, he experienced “the Colbert bump” with a little help from his fiercely dedicated NYC Meetup activists. Great job, guys and gals! (Sorry I’m linking the video instead of embedding it

Just blog about Ron Paul and/or his supporters, as Karol at Alarming News discovered today. You’ll never be lonely again.

Just in time for Gay Pride Week, the NYPD has backed down and reached a settlement with the Audrey Lorde Project, a transgender group, onNYTurf is reporting. The cops had denied the group a parade permit for a second year in a row, so the trannies dragged the cops into court. (I just got a

The lovely and talented Becky Akers, a frequent contributor to Serf City and all-around hardcore anarchocapitalist New Yawker, discusses the TSA’s latest outrages and abuses on Antiwar Radio. Becky is a prolific chronicler of the TSA for LewRockwell.com and is writing a book on the subject. The latest outrage that has Becky’s dander up is

I love a good Internet scam for pure entertainment value, and this one is fiendishly clever. Some grifter is trying to raise $50,000 so he and his girlfriend can afford to keep their baby. If they fall short of their fundraising goal, it’s off to the abortion clinic. Why didn’t my wife and I think
