Today’s Dilbert cartoon has a wonderful line in the last panel: “And you’re programmed to scoff at what I just said.” Ironically, I often get that same reaction to my articles. If I had a beer for every time someone labeled me a “crazy old coot” – or a @#$@$@ SOB etc. – then — I’d […]
Is anyone else having trouble distinguishing today’s two most popular acronyms – SOTU & STFU? When people ask why I watch Obama speeches, I shrug and admit that that is part of the terms of my parole. What will Obama’s biggest howlers be tonight? I am expecting a burst of candor as much as I […]
Libertarian talk show legend Brian Wilson is guest-hosting the Virginia Institute for Public Policy’s weekly radio broadcast. We had a rattlin’ good time flogging federal agencies, a few presidents, and anyone else conspiring against our rights and liberties.

The New York Times ran an article on a Johns Hopkins University study on the beers most frequently associated with visits to hospital emergency rooms. This study proves what I have always said: drinking Raging Bitch is more socially responsible than drinking Budweiser, Colt 45, Bud Ice or Bud Light – which were linked to […]
To be honest, I don’t recall if this photo was taken before or after the beer that day. I do recall that I put a dent in the supplies of the Holsten brewery on the banks of the Elbe River. This is one of the dozen or so photos included in Public Policy Hooligan.
Brian Wilson’s Libertas project is rattling right along. He and I palavered for 40 minutes earlier this week talking about Public Policy Hooligan, Brian’s legendary cursing as a Baltimore radio host, and other zippety topics. The discussion was fairly high-toned until Brian brought up “Raging Bitch.” You can listen to or download the interview by […]
