“Free” Government Money w/ Matthew Lesko

Remember the question mark guy who appeared on those late-night commercials pushing all those “‘free” government programs that would allow you to get Uncle Sam to pay your tuition or for some money-making scheme? Well, he’s come up with a new “commercial” relating to the federal bailouts:

Obama Man Can

This video is quite funny:
It reminds me of the great Simpson’s number “The Garbage Man Can.”:

Hopefully Americans wake up and realize that government simply can’t and shouldn’t do everything for us.

Mr. Disrespect P. Ad-hominem (Jon Hendry)

Yesterday I had a letter in the Albuquerque Journal on our recent analysis of the conflicting New Mexico film industry studies. Then I saw this little missive from film industry hack (he’s the business agent for the local film industry union) Jon Hendry.
Hendry sure is an arrogant fellow. First he hits the Journal. Thankfully, the [...]

Follow Me on Twitter

I hesitated and delayed for weeks. I don’t fancy myself to be on the cutting edge when it comes to technology…in fact, I consider myself to be a “late adapter” when it comes to most technology. But, other free market advocates have been very persuasive in convincing me of the benefits of Twitter. So, in [...]

Motor Home Diaries Coming to Albuquerque

Three liberty-loving guys are coming to Albuquerque, NM as part of their year-long quest to find liberty. I was just in Los Angeles with these guys at the Heritage Foundation’s Resource Bank and Atlas Liberty Forum. The difference is that I flew back while they are driving their motor home all over North America, meeting [...]

Wet Teabags on the Left

As I wrote last week, analysts on both the right and left don’t completely “get” the tea party movement. And while I’ll never change my opinion that both parties are to blame for our current economic problems, given some of the reaction from the left to the tea parties, it would seem that there are [...]

What if the game Monopoly Were Created Today?

A decade ago, if the board game Monopoly were created, there is no doubt that Microsoft, a company that the government deemed to be “too competitive” and successful would have been the central focus of the game’s creators.
As bad as it is for a company’s competitors to use government power to fleece one company and [...]

Is Caroline Kennedy Qualified to be Senator?

As John Stossel points out, Ms. Kennedy fulfills the qualifications. Of course, Stossel being Stossel, his qualifications for Senator are a bit less lofty and unrealistic than those ascribed to senators by many Americans and the media.

Sign Albuquerque is Desperate to Raise Revenue

I was downtown the other day and received a ticket on my car. I wondered what I did wrong and when I took a look at the ticket, I saw this. How many of you, dear readers, knew that parking more than 18 inches from the curb was an infraction? It would seem that our [...]

Bush Says “I Sacrificed Market Principles to Save Economy”

George W. Bush remains an enigma. Does he really believe in the free market? Does he completely misunderstand how markets work? Or, does he simply pay lip service to markets while continuing to undermine them? Regardless of his innermost feelings, there is no doubt that Bush abandoned free markets early and often in his presidency.
Unfortunately, [...]
