Last week I was honored to be asked by Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty if we could arrange to work together on a project to interview the best of the Austrian school of economics, whose understanding and love of capitalism necessitates their complete and total opposition to corporate welfare of any description. And so we did. What causes the business cycle? Is the bailout necessary? How does fractional reserve banking work? What is the relationship between inflationary money and empire? Is...
Bush is a Commie

A Few New McCain Stickers
Re-elect Dan Quayle
McCain Camp insiders say Palin "clueless" Capitol Hill sources are telling [Ed Schultz] that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin.

The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is "clueless."
Kids say the darnest things
In his September 11 debate with Harvey Kushner, Scott daringly opened his introductory statement with a denunciation of democracy, which Kushner wants to spread like lice. Democracy, hold your hand over your heart and dab your lids when you invoke the god-word, still has a very high reputation among the young and naive. Not in Los Alto Hills, California. In the spring of '07, then seven-year-old Zoe Holtz planned to open a lemonade stand on her parents' lawn. In an earlier America, Young Holtz...

Stop the Bailout!
[AG: A friend sent this along:] Not that it would work, but it's worth a try. Call or at least email your Congressman/Senator. Contact your Congressman here. Contact your Senator. Here's a sample email, written by me and my friend. Dear Congressman/Senator (insert name here), I am writing to urge you to oppose the Treasury Secretary Paulson's "bank bailout" proposal. Not only will this bill, if passed, force the American people to pay for the reckless behavior of financial institutions, but it...
