Ron Paul always brings an interesting and unique perspective to any issue, and yesterday he addressed the swine flu on his Youtube channel.
RP discusses his first year in Congress in 1976, when the government created a swine flu scare and initiated a mass inoculation program– which killed more people than the original swine flu had.
RP’s [...]

Before I saw Ron Paul speak at Wake Forest University Monday night, I had not heard more about the Rick Perry secession story other than coming across a few stray headlines.
Congressman Paul mentioned that news outlets had been eager to talk to him about the story, because he is from Texas and because he’s probably [...]

I was shocked to receive an email today regarding the death of Ron Paul’s campaign chairman, Kent Snyder. I met Snyder when I was in Iowa campaigning in January, and he was a very personable guy from what I could tell in the brief time we crossed paths. I’ve been waiting for the perfect piece [...]

I recently watched the ’70s movie Serpico, which is not a Mafia movie as so many Pacino movies were then, but a true story about a New York City police officer named Frank Serpico who happened to be pretty much the only cop on the force not taking bribes from criminals– or at least the [...]

Ron Paul has now said he is focused on continuing to further the message of liberty rather than continuing his presidential campaign (although he will continue to contest primaries and collect delegates). Everyone is wondering what’s next– could Ron Paul’s [...]

“Libertarianism is the heart and soul of conservatism.”
That quote becomes more interesting when you find out that Ronald Reagan said it in 1975. Today would have been Reagan’s birthday. Why not sit back and listen to a vintage Reagan speech and decide which candidate is most like him among today’s GOP candidates (I’ll give you [...]

I just received an email from Amazon.com with the subject line, “What Type of Taxpayer Are You?”
It reads: “Click on The Office characters above to determine what kind of taxpayer you are and match you personality to the right software product.”
Apparently the options are:
EZ Breezy Filer
Fancy Filer
Procrastinator
Extender
Typical Taxpayer
Amazon conveniently doesn’t provide the option [...]

Ye Olde Waffle Shop, on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of their opening by bringing back their original 1972 prices for a day. The differences in prices are absolutely shocking (graphic courtesy of The Daily Tarheel).
Why would waffles costing $1.25 in 1972 now cost $5.55?

The richest person in the world raps with Jay-Z, calls Bono and Barack, and asks to be Ron Paul’s running mate (along with most of the other candidates).
