The website now redirects to galt.io, a “members-only network of makers inspired by ‘Galt’s Gulch’ from Ayn Rand’s classic novel ‘Atlas Shrugged,’” according to the site. (You can see his old radio show site by clicking here.)

The details for non-members are a bit vague, but earlier this year the Business Journal did a small write-up on the “Libertarian tech start-up,” which raised more than $590,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.

“Galt.io is developing an online network that lets members create a ’cause,’ such as fighting alcohol regulation or public funding for the Minnesota Vikings stadium, and gain backing for that cause in the form of virtual currency called Galtcoins,” the Business Journal says.

"'She slapped a young girl and then assaulted the cabin crew with her prosthetic leg...They took it off her, but she started kicking them with her good leg'...Mr Smith continued: 'When police came on board to escort her off the plane, people started singing the Hokey Cokey.""

My dry town (in a dry county) is voting on alcohol sales for the first time ever.

It's been a big deal this year over here too.

Who's the money backing up the wet groups? Little country store business up in the mountains by the name of Wal-Mart.

I was talking about liquor laws earlier this week and realized I have only lived in states with very lax ones; Minnesota's sounded crazy to me so dry counties are sort of hard to comprehend.

A drunken man in a tuxedo fired a gunshot at a couple early Tuesday after they interrupted him having sex with a woman in a downtown alley, Seattle police said.

that reads like a madlib

that is perfect

dying at "said" for some reason

that's a hell of a wedding night

Back to the booze:

There have been all of these legal fights over the past 75 years from county to county, trying to go wet or stay dry. About every three years or so, one of the counties will finally go wet while the other ones fight it out. Each case usually has the preachers and the liquor stores located in the adjacent wet county taking the same side to keep the dry county dry.

But now - It's going to be a statewide yes or no deal. The majority of the population, who also live in wet counties, will decide the fate of all those backwards dry counties.

To which I can only add:

The worker wasn’t sure what Lind was doing, but she told police he had a “deer in the headlights” expression on his face when he noticed her behind him.

kinda goes downhill from there

While talking with officers, he admitted to ejaculating on his co-worker’s desk and coffee on Aug. 26, which was his birthday.

So the guy who killed his five kids in South Carolina, dumped their bodies in Alabama and was picked up on a DUI in Mississippi...his father is from here.

The mugshot of Jones Jr. is vaguely familiar, but I don't know if he's from here too.

"The caller went on to say, "He has four dogs, a shotgun, ammo, and other keys. "

FOUR DOGS.

GREENWOOD, Ark. (AP) - The Greenwood City Council has decided to outfit its animal control officer with a radio after he was attacked by a pack of dogs.

I mean, there are more details that follow, but you get the gist of it.

crime always surrounds itself with a pack o' dogs in Ark

glad he clarified the mail room issue

Shocked family spot man in blonde wig and wearing cream dress being spanked by another man in bondage gear

“I’ve heard about things like this before but I never thought I’d see it with my own eyes by the side of a B road 50 yards away from my house.”

I have to admit my first thought upon reading that was 'I wonder if that cream dress was maybe broderie anglaise or battenburg lace' because that would be a dress I would probably covet.
