Colbert: Takes Our Game, Goes Pro
By: Barry Belmont

It’s one thing to make fun of politicians to others, and quite another to do it straight to their face. If only more of us were willing at all times to be this utterly scathing in our mockery towards political figures, maybe, just maybe, they’d get how pointless their whole title/position really is.

“We Can’t Stop Poverty By Making It More Comfortable”
By: Barry Belmont

This is from a recent op-ed by Michael Tanner over at the Cato Institute. The power of the article comes from its subtle implication that those who comprise the governmental agencies that establish programs to help those below the poverty are actually more concerned about making their money, than they are about giving it to [...]

Economics in One Lesson
By: Barry Belmont

In the coming weeks you’re going to be hearing all about the UNR Students for Liberty’s skirmishes with their student government (the ASUN). In fact, chances are you have already heard too much about it. But the reason we continue the fight, the reason we keep up the mockery is because ultimately it stands as [...]

As you can see from the previous post, the Abolish ASUN club was denied ASUN recognition status due to a brand new policy that was instated quite recently.

Capitalistic Philanthropy at its Finest
By: John Russell

This is an example to those who believe the rich are only but exploiters who need coercive regulations and taxation in order to do [...]

Proposition 8 Struck Down
By: Barry Belmont

Take that bigots of the world. And that people-who-think-you-can-vote-away-other-people’s-rights. Go get those criminals…oh wait…that’s if I saw them two days ago… Silly me, I thought rights (you know, like the basic fundamental cogs that turn with every action such as voluntary interaction) were now and forever…

A Government Won’t Update from IE6?
By: Barry Belmont

Go figure. Despite the fact that it’s slow, cumbersome, and protects users as much as tissue paper, government officials in the good ol’ UK have decided to keep Internet Explorer 6. Government, after all, likes to take it slow, be cumbersome, and protect its users as much as tissue paper. Next you’ll be saying that [...]

On the Ninth Day Before Christmas…
By: John Russell

… nine funding caps compelled me … When I was referred once again to another edition of the CK brah’s literary masterpiece from the VisLupis kiddies, I was ecstatic and dumfounded. Ecstatic in the fact that the inherent problems of ASUN are being illustrated through our newest campaign of showing people how terrible it is, [...]
