| Shock: Red Sox SuperFan John Kerry Gets the Score Wrong, Twice »
October 25, 2004
Former Libertarian Candidate for President Endorses BushHe was a candidate in 1972, yes, but still. I make it a rule to never miss an opportunity to annoy a libertarian. They're so doctrinaire and dopey. Enter Stage Right has the goods (scroll down to headline). Hey! I Resemble That Update: A reader wants to know what I have against libertarians generally. Well, I don't have a lot against libertarians. I don't hate them or anything. But yeah, since college and whatever schooling may have followed, I have found them a little, well, pie-in-the-sky and sloganistic and whatnot. I also continue to maintain that there are a lot quasi-conservatives who call themselves libertarians because they just like smoking pot. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not really anti-pot, so much as I'm pro-alcohol. But I just never had the brain-chemistry to enjoy pot, and so I don't understand people who sort of structure their lives around pot. It's kind of cult, but with a stinky, skunky smell. So I'm really just kidding around (although, as usual, kidding for real). And I just don't get a lot of "libertarians" who are basically chosing their political affiliation according to who's going to let them get high legally. I mean, it's practically legal now anyway. posted by Ace at 03:54 PM
CommentsWhat the heck do you have against libertarians in general? Lots of us are voting for Bush. Posted by: Matthew Cromer on October 25, 2004 05:21 PM
Meanwhile, The American Conservative endorses John Kerry: Posted by: The Batman on October 25, 2004 05:22 PM

MoonBatman, That's one editor at the American Conservative. The others are for El Dubya. Buchanan himself is, if that counts for anything. Which it doesn't. I love how ever since he founded the AmCon, Pat Buchanan is every liberal's favorite conservative. Forget the whole "hate filled" '92 convention speech, forget that he worked for Nixon and takes a little too much interest in exculpating accused Nazis. Now it's, oh, PB's a brave dissenter from the Neocon orthodoxy that has gripped even gentiles within the Republican Party! ( I have heard from someone who has worked with him that he's actually a really nice, mild-mannered guy in person. But please, moral authority? ) Posted by: See-Dubya on October 25, 2004 07:26 PM
Pot almost legal? I wish. How can a guy light up and enjoy a fat one knowing he might get popped for a piss test at work? Friggen Piss Nazis! Posted by: RapidTransit on October 25, 2004 07:42 PM
Ace, I'm a big fan and a fellow Munuvian... you need to distinguish between small "l" libertarians and large "L" Libertarians. Many of us small "l"s (and I think it safe to assume mega-libertarian bloggers like Virginia Postrel and Stephen Green fall in this category) are likely voting for Bush this time around. The big-L libs are typically doctrinaire and rigid. Small-ls much more flexible. FWIW. Posted by: John Lanius on October 25, 2004 08:25 PM
I consider myself libertarian-ish. Mostly because I think the less power the government has the better. However I also believe in not being shy about spereading around the ass-kicking, so I'm not isolationist like some libertarians. I also think the government is better equipped to handle some things like the military and health emergencies. I also prefer alcohol to pot. But the drug war is a farce. I just don't really care about a number of republican social issues so I don't consider myself republican. There is no way in Hell I'd vote for Kerry because I think he is a) a liar b) defintely a socia.list c) will never act aggressively and d) is Jimmy Carter jr. I will vote for Bush and frankly don't have any significant gripe with him unlike like alot of people who consider themselves somewhere in the libertarian neighborhood. The deficit as a percentage of GDP is not as bad as some people have made it out to be. The recession was obviously started before the Bush admin. Raising taxes would therefore be a bad idea. Cutting spending was certainly not much of an option after 9/11. Iraq shoulda been taken care of in the 90's. When you start a war you better frigging finish it. Wars are fraught with failures and triumphs. The triumphs of this one have been quite stunning and the failures not nearly as big as many in past wars. So to libertarians who are down on Bush I say, Stop being whiny little bitches! Posted by: ctob on October 25, 2004 11:12 PM

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews. Henry Rosoff Oh my Totenkopf Tattoo, that is a DRUBBING! I'm usually very anti-antisemitism but if the Communist Antisemite Jihadists can pull this one off, Go Communist Antisemite Jihadists, Go!
Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:
Sahil Kapur I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into." Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign. And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life: ![]()
Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'" I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir" From the CA Post: Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met Oh and she's a vegan When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time? It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:
James Talarico He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country. No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!" Recent Comments
