It’s certainly the case that the cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor is shoved on patients unnecessarily because both doctors and Pfizer make lots of dough from the whole swindle. Of course, people – that is, the patients – are ultimately responsible for not questioning the pharmaceutical-medical establishment’s products or researching potential health issues on their own. However, [...]

The June 30, 2006 issue of Wine Spectator notes,

I saw a t-shirt recently, being worn by a woman who had the total look of a public school teacher. Her shirt said, “Failure is Success.” This statement is, of course, turning the act of “trying” into a heroic act on its own. It’s how we have dumbed down human life in order that we [...]

Okay, so a bunch of us take our Harleys about 250 miles (round trip), and nearly half the way to Toronto, to see these white squirrels, you see. We were told this place in Canada actually had white squirrels. Not brown ones or black ones, but lily white ones. There’s a whole website devoted to [...]

My oftentimes co-writer, Eric Englund, on the Feds and social decay.

Get opportunistic together. Or am I just misunderstanding Cindy’s “libertarian” bent here? Perhaps that’s because I caught her on Socialist Worker Online.

A mile north of Detroit, in “fashionable Ferndale,” this happened: A local man was handcuffed and arrested after standing at Nine Mile Road and Woodward Avenue in protest against the war in Iraq. Victor Kittila, 55, of Eastpointe was standing near the road in Ferndale last week [...]

My new article is up today at LewRockwell.com. It’s an expansion of an earlier blog post, with Eric Englund coming in to co-write and add his excellent analysis. I am getting more emails on this than perhaps anything in recent times. We are both very focused on the issues of financial engineering and the Federal [...]

Tom DiLorenzo brings up the economic ignorance of Warren Buffett on the LewRockwell.com blog. Warren Buffett is an incredible value investor, however, he is wickedly horrible on economics, and a social commie to boot. Here’s something interesting……within Berkshire Hathaway’s annual statements each year is the Letter to the Shareholders – always very animated, very interesting, [...]
