Kent Snyder, RIP

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

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 [...]

Frank Serpico Likes Ron Paul

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

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 [...]

“We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.” — Congressman Ron Paul
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 [...]

Reagan’s Birthday

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

“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 [...]

What Type of Taxpayer Are You?

Monday, January 28th, 2008

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 Prices of 1972

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

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 answer lies in the [...]

Bill Gates’ Last Day at Microsoft

Monday, January 21st, 2008

If you haven’t seen the video that accompanied Bill Gates’ keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show, you have to.

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).

Ron Paul Knocks It Out of the Park

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I thought these pictures were appropriate to elaborate further on my last post. Ron Paul was apparently the star of the Congressional baseball team in the 1980s, as well as being good friends with baseball legend Nolan Ryan.

Credit for the photos goes to this blog.

Ron Paul Wows in South Carolina

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

I was reading a fringe blogger today, who called Congressman Ron Paul “a fringe candidate” without mentioning him by name. That’s really amazing that a “fringe candidate” could come 3% away from placing 3rd in the first two major primaries of the election season.
I’ve had a couple different people tell me this week [...]

New Hampshire: …. Or Die?

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

New Hampshire apparently doesn’t want to “live free” anymore, so they’re in need of a new slogan. Any suggestions?
