Awesome. :D

michaelduff offers a link he titles "James Lileks provides new asshole for Patrick Stewart." Apparently, Mr. Stewart thinks humans have no business traveling in space, and thinks it's the height of arrogance. Way to go, Captain Picard!

From subbes: Ohio's Governor Taft thinks it's "urgent" to adopt one of the country's most far-reaching gay-marriage bans because they're going to be legal in Mass. soon. Good heavens, what comes next? Thinking of gay folks as normal people? Oh no!

What would "economic freedom" entail?


As I recall, libtertarianism (simplified) is social liberalism and economic conservatism, where the left is traditionally liberal on both scales and the right is the opposite.

The old World's Smallest Political Quiz tried to rank you on your views about social freedom and economic freedom, and it viewed social freedom as the domain of the left, and economic freedom as the domain of the right.

That's changed, of course, with the Bush Administration and the Neo-conservatives; they're good old fashioned authoritarians.

Aha. "No taxes" would seem to be the extreme of economic freedom, then.

Which seems oddly incompatible with the republican offensive agenda.

Well, they do seem to like tax cuts--but so does every politician, because it's what the economically-ignorant populace wants to hear.

It's okay if you can decrease spending, but they did exactly the opposite.
