Happy birthday Murray Rothbard! In your honor I read Nietzche's "On the New Idol" from Thus Spake Zarathustra, because it sounds a lot like something you would have said. Next we look at the disaster that was alcohol prohibition, and try to pass on the lesson that prohibition of anything is doomed to failure. Salute!

Boxing. The finer things... And oh yeah, a struggle between authoritarian systems for hegemony.

A quick dissection of a trash PolitiFact article aimed at "debunking" the fact that total federal tax receipts in 2018 were a record high. Short one, a party awaits

The news is too stuffed for us to focus. A small town gay cowboy tells us he's sheriff, a British drunk celebrates drinking by himself, and we question the G in GDP.

Thaddeus Russell claimed Thomas Jefferson's "Notes on the State of Virginia" and the American Revolution mark the birth of scientific racism in the US. We investigate, and come up with mixed results.

The pendulum has swung a bit, and progressives who are good on foreign policy sound better than ever. Let's revisit some history and economics to steal the joy from the moment.

Trump just fell into a neocon trap and made us all less safe. This is the war that hawks have been praying for... We go into the history of US meddling in Iran to explain why the this terrible situation is inevitable, and to counter the automated support for it on the right.

After a week of no sleep, I sit down with Vincenzo and attempt to string words together into sentences. If it makes any sense, this is a critique of consumerism in American culture attempting to divorce it from how people view free market capitalism. Happy Chanukah, stop snitchin, and a happy New Year.
