Let's say you inherited a multi-million dollar company. The company is doing okay. But it lags among its competitors.The management is tired but you don't know how to reorganize the company. Besides, you now have a lot of cash and you want to take that world cruise with your family.You have the budget to hire one superstar CEO. Someone to analyze and balance all the competing factors that impact

Taxes going to favored groups, industry, and individuals is morally corrupt. Wealth redistribution is bad. It’s wrong and nothing makes it right. Government is not a charity.The incorruptible way to “spread the wealth” in a free society is through the free market.Taxes for infrastructure, military, cops, firefighters and even general bureaucracy is morally neutral. These benefit everyone equally

Years ago, Knuckles was standing at a busy downtown intersection in a midwestern Canadian city that is occasionally compared to East Berlin.On the other side of the street, a grizzled, heavy-set man in his fifties was carrying heavy-laden plastic grocery bags in both mitts. The kind of plastic bags that cut the circulation to the fingers.Another guy who was not paying attention, was on a

Last week four RCMP officers were shot and killed by one man during a raid on a rural pot farm in Alberta, Canada. The suspect, James Roszko--a convicted child molester--was reported wounded and apparently shot himself afterwards.Two cops were there to execute a stolen car warrant.

Teen moms bringing babies to school on the school bus raises ire of parents.If there’s one thing that squashes the libertarian spirit, it’s being a parent of a teenage kid who isn’t knocked up.

Since Groucho Marx, they’ amused us with their antics, anarchy, and nekked bods. The 60s and 70s were soaked in their cum-encrusted movies and songs.

“The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands.” From Bush’s inaugural speech. He’s wrong. And he’s right.

Over the years, they’ve eroded the right of citizens to protect themselves and their country. Today, the borders are

One of the finest blog names is Scottish Tanker Hooligans. Here is a pithy diagnosis of ol’ Johnny. Knuckles grew up around an inordinate amount of Scots and knows better than to contradict them in public. Especially when they occasionally get it right.

Now that Samuel “Don’t Call Me Sandy” Berger is back in the news, headline writers will be searching for puns on Berger’s name. Knuckles thoughtfully jotted down some suggestions in this previous post.

Alleged stalker meets his intended victim’s family. To sum up: Teenage girl notices the same man drive past her bus stop several times over the last few weeks. He sometimes stops to ask her where she was going or to tell her how nice she looked. The girl tells her dad. Pop and uncle, stake out the bus stop. Guy shows up and the dad and bro proceed to “detain” the stalker until police arrive.

Stephen Schwartz writing for Horowitz’s Front Page quotes Shaykh Salih Fawzan al-Fawzan, a high functionary of the Saudi regime who claims “Allah punished the Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, and non-Wahhabi Muslims of the South Asian countries.” A stellar examplar of Islamic critical thinking, al-Fawzan explains Allah’s timing for the tsunami: “...at Christmas, fornication and sexual perversion

And Knuckles thought he was the only one who occassionally drove over stranger’s lawns as a teenager. And to think Knuckles thought it was a shameful episode in an otherwise exemplary life.

Jonah asks why? The patron saint of Knuckles’ Library & Tavern, Sam Kinison, once confronted such questions of pubic public health. During the Golden Age of Political Correctness (before Clinton’s blowjobs and 9/11), Saint Sam “thanked” gays for spreading AIDS: “Thanks a lot, you fucks. Now we have to do everything in the men’s room with our foot.” Knuckles is just quoting from memory. Sam

Just returned from Road Trip 2004.Knuckles just loves driving so the three-day-there three-day-back marathons were great. The new digital Nikon got a workout. Over 2,300 shots were taken. The one complaint Knuckles has is that you can’t just pick up a digital camera and point and click. You gotta turn it on, wait for it to boot, zoom, and finally wait for it to focus and capture the image.When

In 2000, the U.S. states were divided into red and blue. Red, long associated with communism, was used to label the heartland states. These were the states that were the most reliable allies of freedom and communism’s staunchest foes. Blue, a color associated most with the term, “True Blue American” was applied to the states that are most likely to appease totalitarians, choose state power over

Feels good to be back after Blogless Thursday. Arafatbastard is down with a mystery ailment. No word yet of a sinister Hebrew plot to poison the drooling terrorist. Expect it soon after humanity is finally rid of this scabby sociopath. By attributing Arafat’s death to The Great Jewish Satan, his accomplices can hail this murderous skidmark as a martyr as well as a “freedom fighter”. Knuckles
