The Rising Tide

To paraphrase Mark Twain… Imagine you’re Peter Vallone Jr., and imagine you’re an idiot. But I repeat myself. Last year, the nepotistic councilmember from Queens introduced and got enacted legislation to prohibit adults under 21 from possessing everyday items that might be used for graffiti. The absurd law was quickly thrown out by the first court […]

  It’s brilliant ideas like this that make me happy Al Gore invented the Internet. At last you can offset Gore’s ludicrous carbon credits by buying your own carbon debits. Hat tip: NYPundit

It’s like Guns for Tots, only with real guns. Some Virginians are getting Mike Bloomberg’s panties all knotted up by giving away firearms in his honor: Openly armed firearms enthusiasts packed a normally sedate government building, hoping to win a pistol or rifle and at the same time send a defiant message to gun-control advocates, especially

The mayor’s office has inexplicably denied a permit to Heritage of Pride for PrideFest, the street fair component of the Gay Pride March. The idjits in the mayor’s office are calling it a “new event” (even though the event is

  Watch out, exotic dancers! (Market research shows exotic dancers comprise a significant portion of Serf City readership.) At least one New York politician wants to make it harder for you to earn a living: Democratic assemblyman and former comptroller candidate Felix Ortiz takes the threat of female nudity seriously and wants it formally addressed with a bill

I know it’s felt like Ron Paul Central around here lately, but this new video from Rescue U.S. is too cool to pass up. Forget the Rutgers women’s basketball team — the Ron Paul Revolution could be the real Cinderella story of the year… or maybe of 2008.
