On Tuesday I gave a presentation on Dr. James Dobson–you know, the Focus on the Family guy who is seemingly obsessed with homosexuality that I earlier discussed here–and his views on child discipline. To prepare for it, I mainly read his 1970 book Dare to Discipline, which I will have a hilarious joke about soon, and [...]

In their latest report, the Corporate Crime Reporter, which I naturally assume to be a leftist anti-corporate outfit of some sort, takes Whole Foods founder John Mackey to task for endorsing a book by Georgetown professor John Hasnas that argues for prosecuting individuals within a corporation who commit crimes as opposed to the corporation itself.

As the title implies, here is a website that contains multiple pages of artwork featuring artwork of Conan O’Brien fighting bears. Also, while I’m at it, I promise some more substantive posting tomorrow. I just wrapped up a four week course that really sucked up a lot of my time so far this week, but [...]
Rick Santorum has been going around the last couple of days caterwauling about how a bunch of shells containing sarin and mustard gas prove that Iraq had the dreaded WMD people were so exercised about in 2003.

Bias was the NBA’s second overall pick in 1986, and on June 18 of that year he celebrated his signing with the Celtics a little too hard and was found dead [...]
If you’ve ever been here before, you’re probably saying to yourself, “Wow! When did this place stop looking like dogshit?” The answer is about eighteen hours ago. There are still some changes and additions I have to make, but for the most part I’m pleased with how the place looks now.
Despite some pro-government nonsense, this 1948 cartoon offers an excellent and simple explanation of how the market works. Take a gander. Link via Liberty and Power.
Over at the Huffington Post yesterday, David Sirota boasted about how he “publicly embarrass[ed]….right-wing pathological liar…John Stossel on national television.” Now, John Stossel is a major reason why I am a libertarian today. When I was little I watched 20/20 every Friday night, and I always looked forward most to his pieces on government meddling. [...]
