When the news started circulating through the blogosphere yesterday, a lot of people assumed it was a hoax, because the story was so absurd. But no, the FBI and the Secret Service really did raid the headquarters of the Liberty Dollar. To be honest, I’ve never been as big a Liberty Dollar fan as some other Libertarians — […]

Historically, Iran may be the poster child for tragically failed US foreign policy and the past is prologue if Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton are elected.  To his credit, Barak Obama has a more intelligent position though he seems to have wised-up from his previous more hawkish rhetoric.  Ron Paul ?  No surprise –

Apparently “everything changes on Day 1” referred only to Spitzer’s campaign promises. Remember when Eliot promised repeatedly not to raise taxes? Well, he’s at it again. If you plan to do any Christmas holiday shopping on the Internet, better get it in before November 30. On December 1, the Spitzer administration is going to start

I just received a mailer from the Marijuana Policy Project.  If you are not a member – sign up now.  This is one of the most effective organizations anywhere promoting an issue important to libertarians. The mailer includes a report card for 16 Democratic and Republican presidential candidates and the results are pretty interesting.  The only

Fortunately, the snark is mostly aimed at

It’s fashionable in some libertarian circles to dismiss global warming  but I think sustainability is very libertarian. Think about property rights.  For example,  it’s pretty obvious that if you dump your trash on my front porch, or more accurately my front stoop,  that’s a crime against my property.  If your factory belches smoke that provably gives my kid

Holy crap, Dick Cheney will be hunting in New York on Monday! Break out the orange vests! Better yet, get yourself to an undisclosed location.

I’ve noted before that Bob Dylan is a global warming skeptic. As if to drive home the point, old Bob is now pimping for the Cadillac Escalade:   Maybe Al Gore can get together with his record-banning wife Tipper and burn their old Dylan records. That would create a lot of noxious emissions of course,

Matt Lysiak, a frequent contributor to Serf City, wrote an article for amNew York about some new cellphone app that sends you targeted ads based on where your phone GPS says you are. Matt plays the Big Brother card, but quotes me in the last paragraph as saying it’s no invasion of privacy, since users voluntarily
