Huzzah for the SCOTUS
Thursday, June 26th, 2008If I'm to understand http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/ correctly, it would seem that the Supreme Court just recently released their ruling on Heller vs. The District of Columbia which has decided that the second amendment protects an individuals right to bear arms. This is outstanding news. Therefore, I hereby declare today Second Amendment ...
The Drug War
Thursday, June 19th, 2008I realize that it's bad form for me - the one author of this website that hardly ever authors - to have my most recent article in several weeks be nothing more than a simple drive by linking, but you know what? I do what I want! Here, John Stossel makes ...
“Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician”
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Take a moment and read this article. No, really. You'll thank me. In fact, allow me to reproduce parts of it here for your enjoyment. Essentially, a kid in Texas - Ralph, whom I imagine looks kinda like this - stole his father's credit card and proceeded to run up a ...
Google’s Quote of the Day
Thursday, May 15th, 2008For those of you that have a personalized google page, I certainly hope y'all noticed the quote of the day. Sitting beside my news bar - which is filled with news about Bush's vision for the middle east, and the Edwards endorsement of Obama - lays a quote by Lord Acton, ...
Even Cartoons Get It
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Why are you looking at me like that? You act like you haven't seen me in a while or something. This past Sunday, lacking anything to entertain myself, I tuned into an episode of King of the Hill. The fates must have been smiling upon me that day because it turned ...
Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich
Thursday, February 7th, 2008A friend of mine, Chris, wrote a cheerful and optimistic note about the upcoming election on Facebook: Due to extreme boredom, a desire to exercise my brain, and the fact that I am still apparently unqualified to be hired for any job in the Athens area, I have decided to write ...
He Needs More Cowbell.
Monday, January 14th, 2008You've probably already read this. But regardless, I'm linking it anyway. Christopher Walken is awesome. Last Second Clarification Edit: It should be noted that this is not actually written by Christopher Walken (or at least I suspect heavily it is not - if it is, though, it would be much more ...
Habeas Wha?
Friday, December 28th, 2007Is posting a speech a total cop out when it comes to submitting a post? You bet. But that doesn't make this speech, concerning the ever growing disdain the Federal Government has for every American's natural right to habeas corpus, any less relevant. Please, enjoy the wonderful Judge Napolitano. ...
Rhino Repellant
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007Wow, it seems that by agreeing to begin a libertarian blag with my friend John, I seemingly have unleashed a monster onto the world. When he approached me with the idea, I was concerned that we would not have frequent enough updates. It seems this fear was absolutely unfounded, since ...
Defining Libertarianism
Friday, December 21st, 2007Welcome to Blagnet.net. It is our intention here to have a forum for the discussion of libertarian philosophy and how it applies to modern American politics. However, before we begin to do so, it is important, dear reader, for us to first clearly define what we mean when we say "libertarian". ...
