Undecided voters are the biggest idiots on the planet
Monday, November 3rd, 2008In Michigan and probably some other states, there has been some moderate amount of discussion, amongst state legislators and radio hosts and other worthless people, about whether voters should be allowed to wear political shirts to their polling places on election day. Since campaign advertisements such as signs and flyers ...
Hamburgers
Friday, October 24th, 2008In a valient effort to not be very productive at work on a Friday, I stumbed across a group on Facebook that has a collection of amusing pictures. Like most of my college aged cohorts that populate Facebook, this group is unabashedly pro-Obama. He's the new Jesus, so sayeth the ...
Liberals obsessed with Sarah Palin
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008My hardcore-Democrat friends (read: my friends) are officially obsessed with Sarah Palin.

Mob-rule is the answer
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008Yeah, 'cause that worked real great in ancient Athens.
“Libertarian paternalism” is idiotic
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008This concept of "libertarian paternalism" is possibly the stupidest thing I've heard since some self-described libertarians suggested that Rudy Giuliani had a libertarian molecule in his body. It is so stupid because it is a metaphysical impossibility. Tim Harford of the Financial Times seems to be largely amenable to the ...
