James I of England, by Daniel Mytens

While looking up some info for a new project I’m working on with my friend Dave, I ran across an unexpectedly funny (in a “oh no he didn’t just write that” kind of way) treatise by King James VI of Scotland and I of England — that is, the guy who authorized the creation of … [Read more…]

Earlier this week I went running and heard the May 21 episode of Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me — whichfeatured 2012 presidential hopeful, Republican Gary Johnson, in the “Not My Job” segment.

The chimera of Net Neutrality

October 24, 2009 by Curtis Leave a Comment

So, many fellow libertarians probably will be upset with me when they hear that I don’t give a rabbit’s left toenail about the whole “net neutrality” regulations being considered by the FCC. Even the ever-stunning Shelly Roche hasn’t managed to convince me that I should care – and her video updates typically convince me plenty. … [Read more…]
