Libertarians Split Down the Middle? How Mysterious…

Here's an article on "Hot-Tub Libertarians" by Ryan Sager. Go ahead and check it out, it's not that long.

Here's the part that kills me:

Given that libertarians' traditional home has been in the conservative base of the Republican Party for about five decades, as part of a strained partnership with social conservatives, their almost 50-50 split between the two parties today is big news.

Big news? When the Democrats and the Republicans have, for all intents and purposes, become a single party? And we split down the middle to vote for one or the other because it really doesn't matter which one we give our votes to? This…is big news?

Reminds me of a Bill Hicks routine about the puppet on the left and the puppet on the right. Gah.

Widge and an ex-duck

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
