FINDLAY, OH – If you’ve been exposed to the MSM over the past couple of days you’ve likely seen grainy pictures and video of Horizon, the British Petroleum-leased deepwater drilling rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. I wanted to touch on that incident here. And though it may seem a bit off-base for [...]

ARLINGTON, VA – Recently, after my flight was delayed three times, I found myself poking around an airport bookstore. A little bit later I left with a book called Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology by Eric Brende. Though I could tell that I didn’t agree 100% with Brende’s view on technology (which he [...]

The Surviellance State Expands…

ARLINGTON, VA – Almost five years ago when a Koch Fellow I touched on the harms stemming from drug prohibition in our required public speaking workshop.

Back! Now on WordPress…

Arlington, VA – Hey! After contemplating for a bit on where to house my thoughts since getting off the road with the Motorhome Diaries (MHD) I decided to resurrect Liberty Is My Homie, which I started on Blogger back in March of 2007 (according to the Wiki entry for that month pretty much the only [...]

Keep Your Mail from Government’s Prying Eyes…

…by using Earth Class Mail. Basically, instead of having your mail sent to your residence or a P.O. Box, it’s sent to Earth Class Mail. This is especially good for folks who are on the road (as you can view your mail after its been scanned by Earth Class Mail reps) or those who wish [...]

Multi-Billion Dollar Companies Take a Cue from Survivalists

Recently Hurricane Ike ravaged Houston. Yet, in the global economy, businesses cannot afford to take a day off due to mother nature. That’s why Houston-based Continental Airlines developed an off-site command center — in an underground bunker — where they were able to weather the storm just fine. More here.

OpenCarry.org Gets a Facelift

OpenCarry.org Gets a Facelift

OpenCarry.org, quite possibly the best site for communicating state-by-state legislation related to the carrying, transportation, or sale of firearms, just got an upgrade. The revamped layout even has video channels that showcase news clips by jurisdiction. But most importantly, the site will serve as a resource by those who currently conceal/open carry due to the [...]
