The best recap of the “debate” between Obama and Romney I’ve seen yet. It would be truly hilarious if it wasn’t a parody and this wasn’t such an critical and important election deciding our future.

Plaxico Burress and Unjust Laws
Plaxico Burress, former NY Giants WR, recently got out of 20 months in prison for bringing a gun into a club and accidently discharging it, hitting him in the thigh, but hurting no one else. This punishment is an example of how our current legal system does not do its job in ensuring justice is […]
Ron Paul’s Predictions Come True

Osama Bin Laden and Cost-Benefit Analsis
Suppose you are a home owner and some punk decided it would be a fun time to throw stones through all of your windows. Also, suppose the cost of hunting this criminal down through private investigators, as well as the cost of lawyers and court fees were all yours to burden (no help from the […]
