This graphic rather made me chuckle. It’s aimed at the American audience but most people who live in western social democratic type countries will notice many similarities with their own criminal gang running things.
If you know a statist this new year (and who doesn’t) given them a link to this simple graphic and watch ‘em [...]

Phelim McAleer to show his pro-fracking film on Mark Cuban’s AXS network
Dateline 12/25/12. Story continues, and there’s a photo of Mr. Cuban looking as if he’s playing football, at the source. Oh, and comments, too.

Major network set to show FrackNation, which attacks anti-fracking groups….
FrackNation, the controversial film supportive of fracking, has secured a television deal and will premiere January 22, 2013 on AXS [...]
I am not Farticus!
You know what the intermong is like: link, link, link…?
I recently discovered this utter gem:
Which is serendipitous. Sort of.
Spartacus Chetwynd (born Lali Chetwynd, 1973) is a British artist known for reworkings of iconic moments from cultural history in deliberately amateurish and improvisatory performances.
You want “amateurish” and improsivatory” performances you should have seen me trying [...]
The Dead Zone…
I’ve always thought of the time between Christmas and New Year as a kinda dead-zone when nowt happens. You know Soviet physicists called black holes “frozen stars”? That if you know a bit of Relativity (I do) is a pretty good description because of what happens at the event horizon is radial distance rather than [...]
My Hero.
Nick did a brilliant job on Sir Patrick Moore’s obituary, but we just didn’t know how much of a Libertarian and anti Statist the great man was did we? My hat is truly doffed to you Sir Patrick, wherever you are.
The World is Mad!
I just heard Cherie Blair is to be made a CBE for “Services to Charity” and “Women’s Issues”. Now to be fair to Ms Booth she has advanced the position dramatically of at least one woman. Or perhaps she ought to have got it for “Services to Drama” for she (a) owns the world’s largest [...]
How to be a dictator (UK edition 2013)
1. Make guns illegal and the innocent unable to defend themselves against armed criminals or government thugs.
2. Subjugate parliament to your will by stuffing the place with thieving, lying, criminal non-entities who will vote for anything the three line whip tells ‘em to.
3. Remove the right to silence on arrest.
4. Make citizens prove they [...]
Roman law, modern law and “Feudal” law - a hint as to what that wild madman Paul Marks is on about.
I am no legal expert (”we have noticed Paul”), but I do want to give an hint about what I am on about when I mention the words “Feudal law” or Roman law or modern law - it if be wrong….. well see later for my “get out of jail” card on that.
Before I say [...]
Merry Christmas
Or, of course, Happy Yuletide if you prefer. (Me, I like the presents…and the various scenes in public parks, store windows, so forth–whether Santa, elves, happy wild creatures in the snow, or *gasp* the Nativity Scene…streets decorated for Christmas…FOOD…and the music.*)
May Santa deliver all the gifts you wanted, without getting any of them stuck [...]
Best Libertarian films?
Reason TV recently did a light-hearted piece on Libertarian movies. I thought it somewhat wide of the mark and so I present some personal choices for great films with Libertarian themes, and of course I invite you to do likewise. You have to be sick of the mandatory but un-watchable Christmas offerings, right?
First is [...]
This is it!
It’s become something of a tradition around this gaff for me to post this for Christmas. (obviously if you prefer you can always listen to (should be thrown of a) Cliff Richard’s simply magisterial rendering of “Mistletoad and Whine”).
So to all of you, a very Happy Christmas!
I once almost spent Christmas in NYC [...]
That’s it? You have nothing more to say?
Damned insomnia struck again the other night and so after a quick scroll through the internet, I found myself watching “Jeff Randall’s Christmas Dinner” Basically, the pretty decent Mr Randall interviews three captains of industry over dinner and drinks and gleans their collective wisdom. It was about 3am and so I decided to listen to [...]
Apocalypse postponed - again.
We all know it was finito on the 21st. Due to the end of the Mayan Long Count.
Except it like wasn’t… Mind fair play to the Mayans - they still exist and still have their language and culture - shorn of human sacrifice - that does happen in Mexico mind mainly as a result [...]
Why I despise the Daily Mail.
Hypocrisy is the short answer.
The longer answer is their cutsey-named “Femail” sidebar on their website. It by and large consists of stuff like this. Note the second image where Ms Moss’s nipple is clearly visible. And this from the valiant crusader (that’s all over the front page of the print edition) against online pornography. This [...]
Demandaplan?
No, have a clue. Have even the sketchiest grasp of what you are talking about, understand that the issue maybe more complex than your toddler-like brains can grasp. Hope no-one notices that as uber-wealthy Hollywood types you already have bodyguards and the armed protection you would deny others as well as high-security homes [...]
