Some quick hits on a bad day

No, it wasn't bad because yesterday was primary day.  I'll post on that probably tomorrow.  I'm having a wonderful day with a sinus infection, so here's a few tidbits to hold you over. . . .


1.  Mitt Romney's Afghanistan strategy is different from Barack Obama's, except that . . . they are both the same.  And they're both terrible.

2.  President Obama--that great advocate for civil liberties--believes that the government needs even more unaccountable surveillance powers.

3.  Democrats want Elizabeth Warren to retool her ads.  I wonder when they're going to figure that that she's just a bad candidate.

4.  Something really big hit Jupiter and exploded.  Which will get about as much press as the fact that President Obama has been the worst president for civil liberties in modern history (against stiff competition from W, but Barack has stayed the course to finish in first).

Oh-My-God! Steve. Are you even an American???

My gosh! We were attacked yesterday. And you call Romney an idiot for wanting to have a strong response to the attacks.

Hey Steve, I have an idea. Why don't you just hand our country over to the Islamists. Surrender Steve. I'm sure you'll do just fine under Sharia Law.

My gosh. I am this fucking close to ending our friendship. You suck dude. I am just ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED WITH YOUR COMMENT ON ROMNEY. A BIG FUCK YOU STEVE. A BIG FUCK YOU!

Eric, calm down.

Any friendship based on lies, needs to end. Steve is correct. You aren't

Romney has no plan. Period. Romney creates problems. Period. We need someone to solve them. Period. And it ain't Romney.

Your defense of him has me cracking up just thinking you think you are serious. It is like someone defending Bozo the clown as a good leader... I seriously doubt even one person takes you seriously.

You Romney follower you. The longer you stay, the worse you look. Just sayin' for your own good.

I originally came to the comment page to say thank you for number 4 Jupiter. I would have missed that. Seems like sometimes we are just too busy with junky politics and miss the real important things.

Thanks for the save...

Eric: Are you a child?

Keep up the good work, Steve.

That's why you weren't at the debates tonight. You missed my LP tirade. Get well soon, I need you for the next fighting round.

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,...
