| Pat Caddell: Undecideds Go For the Incumbent »
October 27, 2004
Ann Coulter Speaks (Kinda)Actually, she responds to an email interview; for some crazy reason, she doesn't trust the liberal media to print her answers accurately. Some good stuff, some vintage Ann, but I liked this especially: Q: Why don't you convert to libertarianism? You and John Stossel could get married and save America. Yup-yup. Libertarians are nice people and all, but seriously, a political philosophy has to be built on a more vigorous intellectual foundation than Weeeeeeeeeeeed! Weeeeed! Weed, man! Weeeeeeeeed! I mean, seriously. Conservativism goes back to John Stuart Mill, Edmund Burke. People like that. Big thinkers. Near as I can tell, libertarianism was born after a midnight showing of Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams. And reliable sources inform me that most votes for a libertarian candidate are cast due to losing a bar bet of some sort. Come on, libertarians. Straighten up. Fly right. Come in on the winning team for the big win. posted by Ace at 02:15 AM
CommentsUh, Ace, why didn't this turn up first on your blog? Posted by: someone on October 27, 2004 02:27 AM
With your cries of "Weeeed!" I thought you were channeling Bill & Ben, not Cheech & Chong. Posted by: Pixy Misa on October 27, 2004 05:56 AM
Damn, I guess that means my chances of getting a more conspicuous link are down the shitter. I didn't register as a Libertarian- I just voted that way. ish. Posted by: thebastidge on October 27, 2004 06:25 AM
You and Coulter couldn't be more right about Libertarians, at least the ones in my state. All they care about is changing cannabis laws. Oh, one guy is obsessed with banning the draft, and seems to have made it his mission in life. I mean, he was trying to get laws passed forbidding it in the 90's. Posted by: Moonbat_One on October 27, 2004 06:46 AM
Ha! Well said, Ace. And as for the two-party system, I posit most wars are not three-sided affairs. Michael Moore, a hungry beefalo, and a plateful of tacos? That's a three-sided affair. Posted by: Velociman on October 27, 2004 07:08 PM
Um, Ace, John Stuart Mill was a libertarian. David Hume, now there's a good atheist conservative for you. You're right about the pot thing, though. Posted by: See-Dubya on October 27, 2004 07:08 PM
I always liked the definition of a libertarian as "A Republican without the morals." I think that sums up my political philosophy rather well. Posted by: francisthegreat on October 27, 2004 07:25 PM
There's a big difference between _l_ibertarians, and _L_ibertarians. Mainly, the little ell folk vote sanely. And I'd call Ann Rand one of the leading lights - though they're calling AnnRandism 'Objectivism' or something. And francis - I don't think it's without _all_ the morals. Personal property rights/self-defense and a few others can be considered 'morals'. Posted by: Al on October 27, 2004 09:28 PM
I'm with See-Dubya, Mill was a libertarian. He made me into a Libertarian. Look, Ann is right that we Libertarians need to talk less about drug legalization. It's but one part of the Libertarian platform, and a fairly unpopular one at that. For the record, I ran for state house as a Libertarian, but I'm voting for Bush because the Libertarian Party is wrong on the war on terror. Posted by: libertarianjim on October 28, 2004 12:22 AM
Libertarians are not conservatives. They are not liberals. They are not moderates/statists. http://lawgovpol.blogspot.com/2004/09/political-philosophies.html Posted by: Niffur on October 28, 2004 12:40 AM
Since folks are talking libertarianism here: check out this long letter to an undecided libertarian blogger from Ohio. HD Miller (at Travellingshoes.blogspot.com) linked to it a couple days ago: http://fladenexp.blogspot.com/2004/10/clint-taylor-elliot-you-better-vote.html
Posted by: See-Dubya on October 28, 2004 01:15 AM
I used to like Ann Coulter but lately she has made some stupid remarks and her latest libertarian remarks show what schmuck she really is. What did Bush say "I once tried blow but I didn't like the smell" rofl. Yes legalization is but one of their many rational ideas. Comming soon to a theater near you: Bush Vs. Kerry - Who ever wins, we lose. Posted by: gothpunkr on October 28, 2004 10:59 AM
Libertarianjim said==>Libertarian Party is wrong on the war on terror. Really? America's imperialist policty is guaranteed to result in terror just as every imperialist entity throughout history has experienced terror. Why do we support the Saudi Royal Family? Money and Oil. Lets get all of our troops out of Saudi Arabia I personally could give a crap where the price of gas goes, its cheap as hell inflation adjusted here at $50/barrel (was $80/barrel during first gulf war in adjusted dollars).

One wouldn't expect coherent arguments from someone who uses the s/n "gothpunkr." And one would be absolutely right. Posted by: zetetic on October 28, 2004 11:24 AM
Of course your use of the "ad hominem" invalidates your views. Your a putz but not in an ad hominem sort of way. Posted by: gothpunkr on October 28, 2004 12:16 PM

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.) Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right. As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller." She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2: Remember the bamboo from Part 1? Do I ever! It's all I remember! Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy. We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations. I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said. She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
