Update: Today’s quasi-eventful live-tweet is up. I’ll have a full photo-essay in the coming days.  As I mentioned in the activism tab, I’ll be documenting all the May Day festivities tomorrow-including any random undocumented citizen sightings.

That’s the word from organizers of the May Day general strike. No word yet on whether there will be any mass disavowal of loot, booze, or fun.

That is Congressman Ron Paul, speaking to a surprisingly large crowd of supporters on the extremely wet lawn of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the day before today’s Republican presidential primary. The site where this nation’s founding charter was drafted was an apt forum for a candidate whose entire campaign is based upon a...

Sunday morning I’ll be leaving the warm cocoon of New York City in order to attend the Philadelphia Phreedom rally on the lawn of Independence Hall. Held two days before the Pennsylvania Republican primary, the event is intended to bring together disparate members of the liberty movement in order to support one of the...

A little late for filing day, but since rendering unto Caesar is a year-round profession for some people I’d like to alert you to a piece I wrote for the Brooklyn Young Republican Club which explores the fairness of our tax system. Feel free to contribute your own thoughts, questions, criticisms, etc., in the...
