In honor of GWB's 60th, I suggest baking a yellow cake.

Must be an error in the code of the "We're Libertarian, We're
Pragmatic" thread, because even after a wait of some hours, the
comment server still won't come up, but it came up right away in
the NJ shutdown thread. So I'm hijacking this thread to post what I
wanted to in "We're Libertarian":
Unity '08 is the latest manifestation of the kind of wishful
thinking in politics that started to come to prominence in this
country (it goes on elsewhere too) around 1990. (Look up Gordon
Black.) If we can just put aside our partisanship and look at
problems objectively, we can "solve" them. Yeah. So try to put in
power people who focus on means rather than agreeing on ends, and
it'll all work out in the end.
Here in NY the Independence Party (a product of that thinking) has
by far the 3rd biggest enrollment of political parties, in a
crowded field, and it also has gotten the 3rd greatest number of
votes for governor.
Psst, you didn't hear it from me, but Julian only posted this because his wife got him the gig. His wife, who shall remain nameless...
