Video funnies courtesy of the Green Party

A great video I meant to put up here about a week ago (the time it was first available) but never got to it.
It’s co-worker Eric Odom’s firsthand experience in a recent Chicago cab ride. Check it out below. It’s hilarious. My favorite part follows (although mere text does it no justice):
“The Democratic Party…you [...]

That which we’re fighting

Great visual representation of paternalism, of the state making sure the individual tows-the-line.
I would love to find something in the same artistic style but expressing the opposite message, a rejection of government paternalism for personal autonomy.
It would make a sweet tee-shirt.

About that “1 in 4 teen girls have an STD” statistic…

It just came out a few hours ago, but by this point I’m sure you’ve seen the headline everywhere: 1 in 4 teen girls has a sexually transmitted disease. The title suggests a plague, a disease! Sick, rampant promiscuity at historically high levels. Lots of bad stuff. I mean, Jesus, that’s 25%!

A couple of modern-day Ellsworth Tooheys

Observe:

“MY PLACE. MY CHOICE. SMOKING ALLOWED.”

Jon Hemminghaus, from Williamson County in southern Illinois, posted an anti-smoking ban sign in front of his business, Wounded Rig Inc., about a month ago. It reads:

Wham. Bam. Boom. A cogent 6-word argument for property rights and self-ownership. Bad ass.
It is Jon’s property and therefore John’s right to determine what activities are performed on his [...]

You’re fired–or, a whole lot richer anyway

Coming from Liberty is for me…, we get the state of the Texas public education system and, as usual, her thoughtful analysis:
Texans have paid $2.4 million dollars for shitty bureaucrats, Superintendents, to leave the school system.
A $2.4 million dollar buyout — paid by, of course, taxpayers — in order to do something that in any [...]

Political Suicide, Literally

As a protest against Islamofacism and the Left’s passive method in dealing with it, right-wing political blogger Ronald “Ronbo” Barbour (pic left) allegedly killed himself two weeks ago.
I say allegedly because, while his final post did describe the how and why, the obituary to surface was from a “Ronald Barbour” 12 years younger. At this [...]
