Kindle Fire + Mises.org = WIN. I will now consume as much Austrian Economics as my brain can handle.
Has the no-3G been a problem for you?
What if there were no government? (Video series)

No. I just transfer the books from my PC. I got it mainly for reading, so the lack of 3G doesn’t really matter.
Ha, I found this on the People’s Cube:
RD is this yours? You go to UVM?
Nope, just a video from an online friend of mine. I can, however, get you in touch with him if you like.
Interesting interview of a defected KGB agent, dating from 1985. I somehow strongly doubt that he was really a defector but in any case I don’t think he’s bullshitting in this interview. I believe there is and will continue to be a policy to bring the American public to heel. America was too free for too long and this created a serious crisis for the ruling Elite in every part of the world. If such a small government is good enough for Americans and consistent with the highest levels of productivity and prosperity, why isn’t a small government good enough for everyone else?
But I think the process has been underway since long before the Soviets were around, since at least the founding of the Federal Reserve but the intent has been there from day one (consider the failed first and second central banks of America). I think we are currently in the Demoralization stage and on the brink of the Crisis stage. We’ll see what happens next. I think the issue will be forced to crisis or resolved (“normalized” without a crisis) by 2013.

Too soon, too soon. Some books will be cooked, some men paid off, and the crisis will be averted and kicked down the road until some bigger crisis happens in maybe 20 or 30 years. Maybe even more. Who knows.
They really should be trying to find something new. The caucus is less than a week away and Paul’s at more than 50% on Intrade.
You’d think someone would have realized by now that a fairly large number of people don’t have landline phones…especially young people, whom the news reports are all too happy to point out make up a lot of Paul’s most enthusiastic base. 435 people who will respond to a political survey from a landline phone do not an accurate caucus prediction make.
The crowd knows much better…caucuses are for dedicated, involved people, which even Paul’s worst enemies won’t deny make up his supporter base. Mark my words, Paul will win Iowa and take at least second in New Hampshire.

JJ, the same young people-cell phone argument was made last time but the polls were actually pretty close to the turnout.

And Krugman’s not exactly and underwear model… why is he the only that gets to keep his shirt on??

What are you talking about? Look at Murphy’s pecs
Brilliant quote from user “_red” from Reddit:
If there existed a company whose business model resulted in killing millions of people and was now 15 trillion dollars in debt, very few people would have trouble pointing out that it was a completely failed idea.
However, due to the power of indoctrination, they can’t use the same level of rationality when talking about the state.
