Is there a difference between Republicans and Libertarians? And why English Majors make the best political analysts. And Driftglass compares and contrasts a tea party gathering... with a Star Trek convention? More at ProfessionalLeft.blogspot.com.
Teachable moments on TeeVee: "Yeah! Fry MOAR killers!" makes the corporatist camwhores on CNN, ABC, et al bite their knuckles whilst they lunge for the fainting-couch mainly because those bug-eyed, frothy-lipped whackjobs are the same folks their sponsors pay them to suck up to.
I have no doubt the angst at outing their status as proud gold-card members in good standing of ClubSickFuck™ is truly sincere.
Their own implied attribution of their display of dismay to real moral pangs? Hmmm. Their consciences never seem to cause any hesitation whenever it comes to booking their warlord-wannabe reps to "report" yet another ground-breaking protest of 200 - or 29 - or 5 - of these God-fearing Colonial Cosplay neo-Bircher assholes = SMELL-TEST FAIL.

Ann Laurie at Balloon Juice had a good take on the glibs this week:
"Glibertarians!—can’t live with ‘em, can’t responsibly allow them to live in the kind of winner-take-all dystopias they so love to yammer about. Or, rather, force the rest of us to live in those dystopias, with the HOA enforcing shoot-to-kill security outside the gated communities of Galt Gulch and St. Ayn’s Haven."

Also, THIS. This is golden.
I have often heard it said that libertarians are among the most socially-maladjusted adults one could possibly have the misfortune of meeting.
PS: And coming from Yours Truly, that's sayin' somethin' indeed!

Libertarians = people who read On The Beach & see an instruction manual.
Outsourcing an apocalypse to Ayn "Me=ME" Rand? Her coterie was a clusterfuck of abuse, neurosis & permanent mandatory bullshit.
