Here is how some math classes celebrate and don’t miss the pi song — it will hang in your brain for sure! Students participated in special PI Day activities, celebrated the day by singing PI Day songs, and (of course) the traditional eating of the pies. Think I’ll go have a piece of pie now just to help celebrate the day. Continue reading →

“The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people.”
All I know about him is his name is Brad and he posted a link on DailyPaul that lead me to his site only to discover that his work is very interesting and we share some mutual heroes too! If you go to his pricing page you will see that a portion of what he makes goes back to the efforts of his heroes and I like that too.
Thank you Brad for sharing your work with the world and your philosophy too!
I had to think long and hard about the whole “smile” thing when I was starting. I knew it’d be different.
To me, there’s something largely lifeless and static about traditional head busts. They either strike me as a somber memorial to guys that died in the last few decades, or (in the case of the classical busts) they literally strike me as a “recording” of a guys head… but not a celebration of their life. There’s nothing endearing about them to me.
If you examine the statues on this page (LINK) and pay attention to the postures of the figures depicted, you’ll find their shoulders are rarely uneven… and their heads are rarely tilted or turned just a bit… That’s robotic to me. They look like robots waiting to be activated…
Some show a little more range, of course. Some figures show a bit of posture (some movement). They go that far, and then they just stop at the face… no life there… I just go one step farther.
Murray Rothbard was a quirky little man that loved to laugh… He was a goof. Harry Browne made several references to the idea that he was a kid in an old man’s body. He even explained once that he and his wife were always just playing grownup… These guys weren’t grim intellectuals. Ron Paul is the most approachable man in congress… He’s a really lighthearted guy.
I think that (like me) most of their fans look at them affectionately… I want to reflect that. Besides, they’re different… They’re not Abe Lincolns or Henry Fords… They don’t deserve the same kind of statue.
So I hope the world forgives me for making my heroes smile. They make me smile…
All that said, I don’t know what the future holds. Some figures just wouldn’t seem appropriate to me with a smile. But I’ll still try my hardest to make them look alive.
Thanks for the kind feedback, guys. I appreciate you.
Republican politicians who tout their American Conservative Union rating do so to distract from their big government record and are citing a ranking system that essentially means nothing.

It was almost a year ago now that I met the most amazing musician at the Midwest Liberty Fest in Duquoin Illinois. I was there to talk to everyone about social networking and he was there to unravel the message of the movement in song and delight the audience of faithful followers with his talent, his smile and his message. We shared briefly in between sets and I learned of a deep faith and warm personality and a depth of character that brings joy to all he touches. His songs challenge us to understand where we have been and to point the way forward.
In biblical times praise and worship actually led the way into the battle. In our day the message in the music often precedes the political will of the day. It is like a foretelling and an awakening going on in the depths of our being. You can sometimes see the war being raged for the hearts and minds of the people in the arts and music forms of a people. I was raised in a Christian home and learned at an early age songs straight from the Bible. Words set to music are embedded deeply in our psyche and people respond to the message in multiple ways and on multiple levels of being – individually and corporately.
As I watched Jordan Page in Illinois that night I learned that he loves his audience and they love him. He loves his music and treasures his gift and his Lord. He gives of his talent and love for the freedom movement in so many ways and on so many levels it is impossible to convey. He also knows his guitar so very well that it is almost an extension of his body. The rhythms he set to play for us that night were embedded in the songs and the words were embedded in our hearts for a lifetime.
“Liberty” (Acoustic Version)
Jordan Page writes for us and sings for us and leads us to the place God has called us to be in Him – citizens of our heavenly home walking free and sovereign in our earthly dwelling place.
Song For Bob, The Pendulum and more!
Song for Bob
Now it is 2010 and Jordan Page has a new CD coming out soon. Find out all about this wonderfully gifted muse of our movement on AxXiom for Liberty this Friday night. I will be cohosting with AxXiom this Friday night from 6-8PM on Rule of Law Radio and our guest will be Jordan Page. We hope to have some previews from his upcoming release and will tell you how you can keep this troubador on the road for liberty and where you can see him next.
