About Crackers

Making fun of government, collectivism, and other hooey since 2004.


How the Hell Did This Happen?

I am tired and I am cranky and I have little patience with the nonsense that seems to be overgrowing the planet like desert weeds out of control. I don't even make good company for myself these days. I'm doing the same thing again and again and getting frustrated that the results are the same. It's not healthy to live like this. In fact, it's absolutely crackers!

But I also feel driven not to just join an abbey and hide from the world either. So instead, I have created this mental resort/funny farm to which I will regularly retreat for several injections of humor to paralyze my face into some position which forces me to smile.

This site is dedicated to those who have inspired me with their wit and wisdom and good hearts helping hands and kind words and deeds in support of liberty and good sense. May you find something here that helps you smile or laugh when you need a reminder that life is not to be taken too seriously.

What Are We Doing Here?

We'll be making fun of government, collectivism, and other nonsense as the mood strikes. We might also make fun of people for advocating government, collectivism, and other nonsense. Our purpose is to expose government, collectivism, and other hooey for the big joke it really is. Also, we're not above taking a jab or two at the freedom movement. If we can't laugh at ourselves, why then we're just like my parents. I can't live with that.

Right now I'm planning one issue of Crackers a week which I'll intend to post on Sunday nights. It will consist of links to funny material on other sites as well as reader submissions, reprints of stuff I find elsewhere (with permission of the author where applicable), my own personal material, and other miscellania.
