The other day someone said to me, “Wow, you’re going to make a lot of money if you get elected.” And then I thought – oh yeah, I forgot . . . politicians make a lot of money! What was I thinking? Here I’m trying to run for U.S. Congress because I think it’s […]
In February of 2014, the largest and oldest bitcoin bank, MtGox, disappeared. It was really odd – one day they just . . . vanished! Hundreds of thousands of bitcoins disappeared along with it, totaling more than 450 million dollars. Many friends seized the opportunity to run to me and say, […]
Imagine if we gave students grades, the same way we paid teachers. In Kindergarten, all kids would get an F. By the first grade, the entire class would all get a D minus. Fifth graders would all get a C, and so on, until in the twelfth grade, every student would have […]
Currently, it’s almost impossible to copy someone else’s work of art and sell it as your own. But there is one easy way to get around that. Make it funny. If something’s funny, no one can sue you. That’s because parodies are protected under copyright law.

In the movie “Lean On Me”, Principal Joe Clark said, “Forget about the way it used to be. This is not a democracy. We are in a state of emergency, and my word is law!”
