Does Jobs deserve kudos for his acumen? Absolutely. That doesn’t mean I have to approve of the grotesque beast that is the modern super-corporation. It is something that could only exist in the statist world, and it is a disturbing hybrid of free market principles and ultra-authoritarian government interference, fused together in a way that brings out the very worst of all worlds. – Commenter ‘Jaded Libertarian’ August 25th, 2011 | 40 comments - (Comments are closed)

They are designed to melt ice caps, kill the poor, poison the water table, destroy the ozone layer, decimate indigenous wildlife, recapture the Falkland Islands and turn the entire third world into a huge uninhabitable desert, all that before they nicked all the oil in the world. – Sage and raconteur Jeremy Clarkson.

When travel writers start going on about how “vulgar” and “overdeveloped” Cuba is becoming, I’ll book my flights.

American government spending will be higher in 2011 than it was in 2010. Government spending will be higher in 2012 than it was in 2011 – much higher. The above is all that matters – everything else is piss and wind. The deal is one great big shining lie. – Paul Marks August 2nd, 2011 | 14 comments - (Comments are closed)
What a pity there is no culture of personal defence and widespread concealed carry in Norway as it would have been nice to see one of the victims shoot back at the bastard. – A sentiment much echoed in various armed self-defence forums regarding the recent atrocity in Norway.
