Last week, I had the privilege of appearing on Fox News' Freedom Watch With Judge Andrew Napolitano to discuss auditing the Federal Reserve, health care "reform," and whether small-government libertarians can reform the GOP. Also appearing: Investment analyst and Senate candidate Peter Schiff.

Thanks, Nick, but I'd sooner watch trash accumulate during a trash collectors' strike. Let me know when there is one.

  Fucking hilarious that the troll has nothing better to do than chime nonsense on posts he doesn't even check out. Cracks me up.
  1. Morris 15 years ago
    
    What cracks me up is the idea that there's a difference in quality between the nonsense of trolls who haven't checked out the posts and the nonsense of true-believers who have. Fucking hilarious.

        I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER... WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I'M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN'T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT... THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT'S A FUCKING FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW .... WHY? ... BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!

  Moe Szyslak killed Arthur Fonzarelli, stole his jacket, and is parading it as a trophy on national television and you applaud this?
  
  For shame, for shame!

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
The American voter is motivated by two things:

1. Hate
2. Greed.

Hating gays and free drugs is what brings the voters to the booths.

To tell Republicans that they should become small-government libertarians is equivalent to tell them to kill themselves, which isn't such a bad idea, but I doubt they're stupid enough to do it.

    "Gillespie" is Italian? Who knew?
    1. The Art-P.O.G. 15 years ago
      
      Scottish Italians are very sneaky. Oftentimes, as with Sean Connery, there's no evidence that they're Italian (or Egyptian) whatsoever.

        Sean Connery's Scottish?
        I thought he was a Spanish Irishman.

Is anyone else using Chrome in Linux? Hit & Run seems to break it a lot, and I've had no problems with other sites.

So, we're taking bets on window #1 - is crayon a sock-puppet or a brand-new troll? The opening Vegas line is 2:1 for sock-puppet, due to the polished delivery of time-worn patter, which indicates a certain experience at this.

    Well, you do a good Warty impression, so that's something. Still a caps-lock abusing troll, though.

Great stuff. I thought the gold standard talk was a rabbit trail. Why do people who agree 99% of the time have to talk about the 1%. There is no one "for" the Fed not being held to account...except those Fat-Cats in Capital City.
1. crayon 15 years ago
  
  True.
  Even a regular central bank would be better than the fed.
