Somewhere in Hell a Snowball Is Laughing


Crossing the party lines is becoming a rather trendy fad these days, eh?

The Celtic Tiger is Waking Up


And saying no to globalisation.
Good for them.
I wonder what would happen if other EU “member” states had to put such issues to a general vote.

The Internet is Awesome


So is free speech.
This is why.

What will you do with your Federal Bank Subsidy, eh . . . I mean Federal Economic Stimulus Check?


Don’t pay down credit card debt. Let’s let these motherfuckers twist and writhe a little longer. Of course, you could use your check to buy something useful like Hammacher Schlemmer’s 14 mph ride-on cooler (just be sure to save some cash for the inevitable yet humorous DUI that will follow):

I’m off to buy a […]

Quinn

Quinn is forever a cynicist, so be warned as you read his contributions to this little corner of cyberspace. It's hard to find someone more bearish about the long-term future of the U.S. economy, although he admits to hoping he's wrong. Quinn also comes at libertarianism from left of center, so his views often have a unique and decidedly liberal bent. His current concerns include the restoration of true civil liberties, privacy, and property rights in the United States, reducing government spending, eradicating police brutality and unconstitutional policing, checking open hostility and bias in the courts, preventing a corporate run police state, and recognizing gay marriage on the federal level.
