Over at Bloggingheads.tv, reason Senior Editor Kerry Howley diavlogs with occasional reasonoid Will Wilkinson about the Dalai Lama, jingoism, Charles Murray, Barack Obama, and a whole lot else.

So one of them is in the living room and the other one is in the
office?
Actually Will looks like he might be on the the toilet, is that a
towel in the background?
So they've found a way to monetize their after dinner conversation? Awesome!

Heh. Maybe
he is using one of these.
The only way I would click on the link would be if Kerry Howley shows her breasts.
These comments are too funny. Reason is fucking garbage. First they post "stories" from a guy who was paid by Israeli propagandist organization to go on a "fact finding" mission. Now they're showing videos between a couple. Honestly, what the fuck happened? Who can I complain to? There must be someone that funds this rag since there's no way you guys are making money from the crap you're putting out these days.
Fucking garbage is a bad idea. Take it from me, the smell stays in your pubes forever.
First of all, shit, I thought kerry was single.
Secondly, why the fuck didn't you guys just sit next to each other
on the couch?? Was there really a need to go to two different rooms
so you can do the whole split screen thingy??
I demand that from now on Reason refuse to post videos if couples are involved. No more fucking garbage either.

Government subsidies.
The Kochtopus is funding Reason.
You know the same guys that BBC journalist Greg Palast discusses in
his book, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, that were involved in
the deal that saved Bill Clinton's presidency.
"Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and Minority Leader Tom Daschle
worked it out like this: the Republicans promised to impeach Bill
only for Lewinsky, not for his connections to the Riady family, as
long as the Democrats would promise not to prosecute the Koch
brothers."
So they've found a way to monetize their after dinner conversation?
That's a racket I can approve of.
Diavlog?
These neologisms have gone far enough.
To the Blogocution Pod with the lot of them!
So they've found a way to monetize their after dinner
conversation?
Wait 'till they find a way to make some money off their pillow
talk.
I can think of a few other activities they could "diavlog" if they
wanna make some serious scratch.
I've kinda liked the bloggingheads.tv. It's what 'talking heads'
television does, but a heck of lot more highbrow because of less
talking point shouting - and does it with even less
moderation.
The first one a saw though, was went Althouse had a conniption over
a throwaway comment from the other person, I can't remember her
name. So, because of this, for I long time I kept on reading the
name of these things as 'diva - logs'
I demand that from now on Reason refuse to post videos if
couples are involved.
Well, there goes the Dave Weigel-Jamie Kirchick video they were
planning.

I won't be watching this.
dear god, then I dont know why they even *bothered*!
Seriously though, thats got to be in the top 3 of 'dumbest types of
posts' people can make. Somewhere just behind threatening to 'kick
someone's ass' on a blog.
Whats up with all the haters? I really dont get it why people who
'arent down with the program' bother to go to
sites/blogs/publications they revile and state their total and
utter lack of fandom.
I mean, it's not like I lurk around The Nation, or Southern
Partisan or something, and remind them how much *they* suck every
week. I mean, I KNOW they suck. Isnt that enough for me?
Is the idea that people might hear your contempt and suddenly doubt
their own approval of this particular rag?
Has the idea that people really dont give a shit ever occurred to
them? Are they just that fucking dumb?
It makes me sad really. Its a cry for help of some kind.
That said = I must now poison Will Wilkinson and steal fair Kerry
away from him. Anyone know any russians with that radioactive shit,
or maybe like some Amazonian blowdart type thing? i'm in the
market. Holler at me.
Haha! I am sorry Gilmore, I enjoyed SIV's comment very much especially as it was the first one!
Man, all Will is missing is a tennis racket over his shoulder and a Fresca. I would get my ass kicked daily if I looked like that.
Reasonoid chick diavloging with a Catomite dude. That just sounds dirty. That's "dirty" as in "incestuous Kochtopus" dirty.
I like watching/listening to Bloggingheads.tv, especially when
one (or both) of the participants are libertarians. I also like
watching/listening to the Reason roundtable discussions.
I think Will can come off as elitist, but I find the discussions he
leads really interesting and thought provoking. And I actually like
the "diavlogs" between Will and Kerry.
So there.
Wilkinson often annoys me, but I didn't find the diavlog to be that bad. It was better than any Althous is involved in. Better than David Brin and Khaled Dawoud too.
I am with you JayDubya! Quite sickening. It says a lot about what Cato and Reason has become.
'bout 5.5 hours later and you can bet your ass I haven't watched
any of this feminist cosmotarian
crap. Jesus Fucking Christ, I'd rather read Jesse Walker "review"
somebody elses record review before I'd watch one fucking second of
this.
"I am with you JayDubya! Quite sickening. It says a lot about
what Cato and Reason has become."
Don't get me totally wrong, I can see how someone might do a lesser
of evils calculus between McCain and Obama and come out on Obama...
I think I'd lean the other way if I were coerced to pick.
However, the impression I got seemed to be that they were
considering it a binary choice... and I presumed that Cato and
Reason representatives might maybe want to consider voting for...
oh I don't know, the Libertarian Candidate?
Oh, and for another thing - if we are to be beyond superficial things like integumentary melanin concentration or the presence or absence of a Y chromosome, then perhaps we shouldn't consider the race or gender of a candidate as a check in the positives column.
JayDubya, Cato and Reason representatives cannot vote for the
candidate that represents their views most(the LP candidate), they
have to vote for the winner that is why they reside in DC.
And, didn't you hear Will and Kerry? It would be sooooooo cool to
have a woman or a black man atop the political power structure to
send a message to others! Swoooooon!
Man, all Will is missing is a tennis racket over his
shoulder and a Fresca.
I think Will is more of a Tab drinker :)
If Will Wilkinson is having a hard time booking people for his
webcast, I could disagree with him on just about anything. And I
could do it better than most. See, I'm a prick, but a gracious one.
Of course, I don't have a magazine title, but I think "asshole
corporate lawyer" would suffice. The problem is that then you'd
have two dudes arguing about minute policy ramifications, who wants
to watch that? I would tear that chump a new one, regardless of
whether I agreed with him or not. And this isn't a Kerry Howley
puff piece, I'm a KMW man myself (sorry, she posts the best
pictures....).
Query: how many people think it would be cool if the Wilkinsons of
the world debated with average joes (and by that I mean
above-average)? Who wouldn't want to see joe scrap it out with
Wilkinson?
Or hey, how about Reason editors scrap it out with regular
commentors? How about some Highnumber vs. Ronald Bailey? Thoreau
vs. Gillespie? Pro Libs vs. Sollum? dhex vs. Moynihan? Dave W.
against anybody. or my favorite: Warran vs. the lobster lady.
Seriously i hadn't watched the video until now, they really were in the same house hahahahah oh god i need more beer
Somebody needs a hug. No, a lot of people here need a shag. Seriously, maybe some of you wouldn't be such fanged pricks if you were getting more sex.
Fucking hilarious thread. Thanx all. SIV set the tone and then it just went from there. Gilmore tried to gallantly intervene (as many reasonites do when Kerry is involved), but was smacked down with crude hilarity. I like the fact that pretty much nothing was said about the contents of the video. Priceless! This is one time I can honestly write "LOL".

Hey Gilmore -- not only are you humorless...
You aint from around here are you?
I may suck, however.
Fucking garbage is a bad idea.
Well, I've never fucked garbage. But I have, on occasion, fucked
white trash. Sometimes, it's not so bad.
