On Bailouts

I had thought about writing a treatise on why bailouts are bad, but Ron Paul saved me the time with his article that is appropriately called “The Bailout Surge“, a clear poke at the Iraq Surge (emphasis below is mine): We must remember that governments do not produce anything. Their only resources come from producers […]

I’d like to propose a simple plan to really change things in the US. I don’t really know if this is even an original idea, but here it goes… Our current woes are due in large part to the two-party duopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties, and the people controlling the candidates within those […]

no, i can’t

Sorry Obama fans, as a libertarian, there’s no way I can in good conscience support someone that said: We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. The last […]

does that make him the mcdad?

I love redundant typos in news headlines: “Inventor of McDonald’s Egg McMuffin inventor has died (at CNNMoney.com)”

A while ago I mused about the rising price of gas. In the wake of the recent, dramatic 1.25% interest rate cuts, and the awesome campaign of Ron Paul, I started to wonder if there was a correlation between the devaluation of the dollar, inflation, the price of gold, and the price of oil. It’s […]

undo command and government

I’m voting for Ron Paul to undo the major problems caused by the current administration, and much of the governmental policies of the 20th and 21st centuries. After his presidency, […]

The successes of Ron Paul include $20 million in funds raised last quarter solely from individual contributions by more than 100,000 people. Ron Paul is basically becoming successful for many of the same reasons that open source software and social software have become so effective and popular. The campaign is truly driven my its active, […]

first nfl game

I had the opportunity to attend my first NFL game ever on December 30th thanks to Torrey. We had amazing seats… first row, 45 yard line, and the Cardinals won easily against the Rams, with their highest scoring performance in 30 years. The interesting thing about sitting this close to the players is that they […]

maxjet, we hardly knew ya

Lost in the Christmas rush was the announcement on Christmas Eve that MaxJet has shut down operations and declared bankruptcy. MaxJet was my new favorite airline, providing amazing all-business class service from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or New York to London Stansted. On our trip to Italy in October, we had such a great time […]
