Sigh. Do Cato people ever really *work*? So here, Tom Woods is painted as a KKK f***head? Palmer needs a goddamn shrink, and quick.

According to Tom DiLorenzo’s speech in Vegas today, the Fed’s head janitor is known as a Support Service Director, and he makes approximately $200k per year.

Someone forwarded another remarkably erroneous CrazyLand post about me last night. Once again, my cyber-stalking Fan Club claims to know all the details of my personal life.
