Badgers will probably get mauled.

I'm not debating the earlier points but I would like to say something about 'libertarian' Bootstrappers. I am fairly active in libertarian (almost exclusively with the small l) circles so I encounter several of the people, consistently. Almost without fail, they will all be very spoiled, very sheltered, young students (or aged versions thereof) who have been nothing but coddled their entire lives. It is relentlessly aggravating to be around them. When these people are added to the mindless Randians, libertarian functions can be hell. For the record, though, we're not all terrible.

That was it, Rubio!

Yet Arum thought whoever Pavlik destroyed a few weeks ago was a big enough name Stateside.

Sorry, I'm not going to debate philosophy with you.

And that free will has to be for everybody, not just straight atheists who agree with everything that Ms. Rand ever said.

Annual reading of Sometimes a Great Notion.

A Glen Beck article just isnt the same without all his funny faces/voices.

No, she's not. Or even close. The absolute foundation of libertarianism is human freedom and liberty. Rand, a homophobe and totalitarian, does not fit that bill at all. She gets the selfishness doctrine right, but you can't be a libertarian and be opposed to the rights of certain different individuals/groups just because they're different..

I like several Republicans. Newt Gingrich isn't one of them. But I'm glad he's not apologizing to Rush Limbaugh.

Eric Clapton should have been thrown in prison years ago.

This issue, and the article above, are far too nuanced for TSM.

How will Rush Limbaugh allow the GOP to handle Nancy Reagan's statement on the stem cell reversal?

Barack Obama has hurt the feelings of stem cells everywhere.

I could do without the Smashing Pumpkins/Visa commercial.

http://dinosaurjr.com/ has the dates and information.

Dinosaur Jr is doing a tour of very small venues. Mike Watt is opening some of the shows.

Barack Obama doesn't have the same kind of gun/ATV roundin' up skills that we would have seen from John Kerry.

Thanks, Dad.

I spend far too much of time thinking about such alternate-world Presidents.

I find the Wow signal and the bloop/sounds to be most interesting. Both are, to my knowledge anyway, confirmed to have actually happened and none have been given an explantion yet.

This party might not even make it to 2012 at this pace.

She'll have to support him financially, as well, since he'll be touring venues known more for their buffet tables than their evening entertainment.

In a replay of a speech at the same covention, I think I just saw Newt Gingrich say "Nailable Rights."
