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 […]

  Somehow I missed this gem when The Onion first ran it in February (the fact that it’s dated the same week my son was born may have something to do with the oversight), but this is by far the best distillation of the Rudy presidential campaign I have read: “Let us all remember how

On Tuesday night Rudy Giuliani proved he is more willing to pander to fear, ignorance and nationalism than he is to seriously discuss the causes of terror and anti-Americanism.  He played dumb about the voluminous evidence of the direct causes of 9/11 (the reasons given by Osama Bin Laden) and the indirect underlying causes of

All right, the Manhattan Libertarian Party made the big time! We were officially one of the suspicious groups that the NYPD was keeping an eye on prior to the 2004 Republican Convention, thanks to our subversive Unauthorized Protest. On Wednesday, a federal judge ordered the police department to declassify its secret surveillance reports. The obvious lefty

  Bummer. One of the great NYC summer traditions has been nixed by City Hall. 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.

The great Audrey Silk, founder of C.L.A.S.H. and the 2005 Libertarian candidate for NYC mayor, has been sounding the alarm on Governor Spitzer’s prohibition of the sale of tobacco products on the state fairgrounds. Now Audrey is ready to take action in court, and she needs your help: After careful consideration, conferencing with a vendor that

…according to Rick Klein at ABC news, that is. Us crazy, internet loving bunch, have, according to Klein, “mastered the art of ‘viral marketing,’ using Internet savvy and blog postings to create at least the perception of momentum for his (Ron Paul’s) long-shot presidential bid.” The clear premise of Klein’s argument is that the internet is an

Here’s a cool video of Ron Paul supporters around the country having fun with some real grassroots activism. Just goes to show you can sometimes make a big impact for only a few bucks, some elbow grease and creativity: The NYC segments start at about 3:15 remaining in the video.
