Is the Manhattan Libertarian Party Part of Big Telecom?
Over at the Fierce Telecom website, someone posted an article today criticizing a new paper by Scott Cleland of NetCompetition.org. Scott’s paper (which I have not read) apparently asserts that Google uses 21 times more bandwidth than it pays for. The criticism gets rather ad hominem, using words like “stupid,” “moron” and “telecom shill” to

Beth Hoffman, RIP
It is with great sadness that I report the untimely death yesterday of Beth Hoffman, a true hero of the freedom movement. For over three decades, Beth was a FEE staffer and editor; she served as Managing Editor of the Freeman for many years and in her own humble way, truly was the backbone of

How about Bailout Ballpark?
This may be one of the best frivolous ideas to come out of New York Silly Council in a long time. The last of the Mohicans Republicans, Vincent Ignizio and James Oddo, are proposing that the Mets’ new stadium be renamed Citi/Taxpayer Field, in honor of “the taxpayers of the country who will foot the

Constitution Bars Hillary from Secretary of State
It looks like New York may be stuck with Senator Clinton after all. Some eagle-eyed constitutional scholars have pointed out the obstacle presented by Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution: No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of

Scenes from the NYC End the Fed Protest
Despite the bitter, bitter cold, Saturday’s End the Fed protest at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was very well attended and high-energy. I’d guess there were about 200 activists when I was there. (I only stayed for about an hour, because I had my 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters with me, and they couldn’t

Shitigroup
I was among the first wave of 17,000 Citigroup employees to get downsized back in 2007, when the firm’s problems first began to surface. Perhaps surprisingly to some, getting rid of me didn’t get rid of their problems. It’s never fun to get the ax (although I have to admit, I did enjoy the extra quality

Mukasey Smacks Down Kelly
It’s almost inconceivable that a government agency could have even less regard for civil liberties and the rule of law than the Bush Justice Department, but the NYPD is no ordinary government agency. It seems Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey are in a spat over the NYPD’s overly broad —
