Myers makes a persuasive case that we should instead regard the Kim Jong-il system as a phenomenon of the very extreme and pathological right.

Following that, I was speechless.

Mostly short, gonzo-style pieces, but covering some really strange events/activities (like this piece on North Korea.) I love their sense of humour, and their editors seem to come from some kind of anarcho-libertarian-vaguely-right-wing perspective. Which is probably why, the only other time I've seen them get a mention in the MSM was a snarky hypercritical piece by John Harms in The Monthly. Good to know they're still independent.
