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.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
