“Liberty is a necessity rather than a luxury, and we can ill afford to be without it.”

– F.A. “Baldy” Harper, IHS Founder

When the Koches are your benefactors there is no end to the wingnut welfare that will pour into your pocket. And all you have to do is sell out your fellow man!

Judas was born far, far too early. If Judas Iscariot lived now he would have a fellowship from the New America Foundation, and a sinecure from the Institute for Humane Studies, just like little Miss McArdle. Forty pieces of silver? That's ridiculous when you can make 400 or 4000 pieces of silver!

Give up everything and follow Jesus? Why? He and his followers were nothing but looters and moochers! Do unto other? Why? It just encourages the lice to keep sucking off of the producers!

Instead we should all get paid lots and lots of lovely money to shill for polluters, to undercut democracy, to screw over anyone and everyone unlucky enough to have been born poor. So what if people die? They should have thought of that before they became poor!

Fortunately for Megan McArdle she will never be poor. She can always find someone to pay her to lie, shill, propagandize, sell out---you get the picture.

The same people who whine and cry about paying taxes are raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars for cranking out fake scholarship and opinion. And to top it all off, they want respect as well. They want professorships and top media jobs and comment sections full of sycophants. And since they can't get them honestly, they'll get them dishonestly instead.
