Garbage through my door #1 – Alun Michael Cardiff MP

I keep getting stupid campaign leaflets through my door. I pick them up and am consistently amazed at how they manage to one up each other in the retard stakes. Seeing as none of these leaflets are remotely libertarian, and yet people all across my city (Cardiff) are getting them spammed through their letterbox, I [...]

Free Talk Live

For those who don’t know, Free Talk Live is probably the most popular liberty radio show in the world. It’s broadcast six days a week from the home of the Free State Project, New Hampshire. I’ve been listening for over a year now and it still continues to entertain me. I’m giving the shout out [...]

Myths & Stupidity – New John Stossel Video

Stossel is just [...]

Yes leftists, you might have felt good voting for Obama and supporting his “change” mandate but unfortunately you got DUPED. The man is ESTABLISHMENT through and through, and if you find the idea [...]

Video of the day: Symphony of Science – ‘We Are All Connected’

Not exactly a libertarian video, but I wouldn’t want anybody to think I wasn’t a fan of science after the recent Dawkin’s post. I’ve been humming this for days; it makes me happy:

Airlines not government should be responsible for their passengers safety

Hilarious interview with “Lord” Adnois on his handling of the Icelandic volcano fiasco. To paraphrase his position: “Government may have messed everything up, but we were doing the best we could… after all, it’s important that planes are safe. Act of god… Act of god… safety of passengers. Blah blah blah.” There is absolutely no [...]

Video of the day: Our sham democracy

Both hilarious and relevant–from Armando Iannucci’s Time Trumpet: Hat tip to Fraser’s Soap Box.
