Inspection- Honest Libertarianism

July 31, 2009
By

Note: I am not specifically arguing with some classic definition of Libertarianism here, more a few specific Libertarians I have encountered and some glaring inconsistencies amongst these same folks who claim to be Libertarians. Oh, boy, as if my limited readership needs to be thinned by ticking off Libertarians? But, hey, I didn’t start Inspection 37 years ago to get hugs and deep throated French kisses. Besides, getting French kissed by the actual Deep Throat these days? Ewe. I don’t know exactly what to call myself politically speaking and I admit I do tend to resist labels. Too much like bad boxes of cornflakes; they may be less than half full, or even full of something you didn’t realize was there because you’re too busy looking at the label on the box. Seems sometimes these days that’s all we see. In fact I would suggest the majority of people that’s all they ever see, sad to say. This is why labels are powerful propaganda. I consider myself to have some libertarian tendencies. I think, for the most part, what consenting adults do is up to them… 1. When it comes to sex, I would rather not know about the sloppy…

Right-Wing Talkers: How Low Will They Go?

Sure, they are contemptible, cynical buffoons; drama queen fearmongers scraping the bottom of the barrel for ratings now that the neocon bubble has burst and they likely don’t believe a word they say. (It’s a performance!) Still, how much pure stupidity and racism do they have to spew before sponsors pull their ads and an outraged public demands their dismissal?

…reproduced in full. A toast to Mr. Wolfrum for hitting these nails squarely on their empty heads. New Poll: 80% of Americans would give up breathing if it helped corporations make more money by William K. Wolfrum from his blog William K. Wolfrum Chronicles SOUTH CAROLINA – A stunning new poll by William K. Wolfrum & Associates shows that nearly 80 percent of all Americans would stop breathing right now if a major corporation gave that order. The poll – which was based on looking into how Americans will gladly vote against their own self interests – made several other discoveries, including:

Ye Olde Scribe Presents: Navigating Tasteless Presidential Beer

A note from Professor Good Ales: Because of content this post has also been posted elsewhere at LTS. Written by Ye Olde Scribe (Scribe is simply providing a convenient pun and admits to having never tasted Duff, which apparently is a real product inspired by the fictional Duff. But he does dedicate this column to Duffman style politics being practiced in the White House on the day this was posted.) Scribe longs for an Arrogant Bastard President. No, not Saint Junior, may he rest in peace. Not dead yet? After choking on a pretzel and the transportation device accident, Scribe is surprised. Well… enough of that SEGWAY. No, Scribe is referring to an actual beer made by Stone Brewing.

Today’s Quote: TV or Not TV?

July 29, 2009
By

“Everything Americans think they know, they learned from a televised morality play. It’s all theater. You root for some good guy and boo some bad guy. You pick your own, but you dance to the tune of the men running the show. It’s mind control, pure and simple, and if there is an American immune to it, then he is probably living in a snow cave somewhere in Alaska.” – Gypsy Joe Hess (1919-1988), prospector, self-educated philosopher and horse trader, as quoted by Joe Bageant.
