  • Ever wanted to know how to hire an “escort”? Maggie McNeill tells all. (Well, not quite all; she doesn’t get into prices.) This is part of Reason’s daring “Burn After Reading” issue.

    • Politically incorrect tee-shirt giveaway

    Published June 2, 2018 2:38 pm by Claire

    It’s rummage sale season again. This politically incorrect tee-shirt (black, size XL, Hanes 100% cotton, very lightly used) was one of my finds. Not being a grandpa or having pretty granddaughters, I’m giving it away. I’ll give it away at the end of the day this coming Wednesday, June 6. If I get multiple requests, they’ll go into a hat and I’ll draw the winner’s name. Want it? Let me know in comments. Please use a real email address (unless you know for sure I already have a working addy for you) so I’ll know how to find you.

They refused service to several people, but only the one belonged to the Offended Class. (H/T jc2k in comments)
  • Stockton will become the first city in the U.S. to give out free cash in hopes of ending poverty and inequality. (At least it’s donated cash.)
  • Those new tariffs will harm everyone. Except perhaps a few cronies.
