Enjoying My Time At The New Hampshire Liberty Forum

Was The Miami Herald Biased In Their Article About Me?

For more than a week, Miami Herald reporter Paradise Afshar worked on the story about my arrest covering the Occupy Miami eviction. Yet she still failed to provide the answers to some very basic questions, specifically the outcome of my previous arrests. It’s not like I didn’t tell her the outcome of those arrests.

At Least One TSA Screener Knows Photo Policy At Checkpoints

Unlike the last time when I left the TSA photo policy sitting in my printer before leaving to the airport, I made sure to print out 30 copies in case I had to hand them out to several Transportation Security Administration officials at Miami International Airport as I prepared to board a plane to Boston this morning.

The goal was to increase accountability, which is important for a department that is facing a federal takeover this March. However, the above video, which shows several officers with their body-mounted cameras turned off [...]

Hilarious Spider Prank Turns Even Funnier When Victim Confronts Videographer

A hilarious spider prank on an unsuspecting man in what appears to be a univeristy got him all bent out of shape when he realized he was being video recorded. Somebody from a higher level dangled a spider down in front of his face as he was sitting at a table, working on a computer, causing him to have a minor panic attack. Most of us probably would have reacted the same way. Well, most of us [...]
