Coming tomorrow: A Delaware Libertarian Exclusive Interview with Mike Munger


OK, so as the Libertarian gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina trying everything to get into the debates, he'll probably talk to anybody.

But Dr Michael Munger agreed to let me have ten questions, no holds barred, and he provided extensive answers.

Answers that don't evade.

Answers that explain in great detail why the Chair of the Political Science Department at Duke University (who holds a joint appointment in Economics) is undoubtedly the best qualified candidate for governor of the Tarheel State despite (dare I say it?) the fact that he's a Libertarian.

I like Mike--everybody knows that. But I don't ask politicians easy questions, as George Phillies, Christine Smith, and Mike Protack (all of whom have chosen to answer my questions) can tell you.

The interview will be posting late tomorrow evening (wouldn't want to interfere with my beach time).

Waldo, that's a fair question.

I have short hair now, and have a for a year. But that picture above is from my web site, and it is fair to use it.

Here is the story....

Hahaha. Awesome pictures, Mike ! In a few of them, I could swear you looked like Meatloaf.

Great story, as well. I look forward to the interview with Delaware Libertarian.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
