libertine - 1) a dissolute person 2) what Reds who call themselves libertarians call actual libertarians.

On the issue of the freest states, see http://www.mercatus.org/upload.....ns/Freedom in the 50 States.pdf

Wow, TONS of questions about the Free State Project.

Look how nice that chat worked out without threads.
Eric the .5b|11.19.09 @ 2:29PM|#
Well, if you want comment-posting delayed until someone's ready to respond, I suppose that would work...
|11.20.09 @ 12:35AM|#
look how nicely threaded comments work. Now anyone who doesn't care, doesn't have to read this comment. I'm dumbfounded that anyone would complain about such an obvious improvement to the site.

Fucking classic.
|11.19.09 @ 2:40PM|#
My question that wasn't answered: How much did you guys pay yourselves for this live chat?
Art-P.O.G.|11.19.09 @ 2:45PM|#
Damn, Lonewacko didn't get to ask any ToughQuestions.
|11.19.09 @ 2:47PM|#
How dare you slime me with that slanderous label of he-who-should-neither-be-named-or-read?
Art-P.O.G.|11.19.09 @ 2:54PM|#
I keed, I keed...
|11.19.09 @ 3:03PM|#
You hurt my feeling. All one of them.
Inkman|11.19.09 @ 2:42PM|#
We were ALL winners, really.

I had three completely pointless questions answered while some of you crybabies had none. Suck it, those who are not me.
|11.19.09 @ 2:49PM|#
Yeah, I had two meaningful ones ignored. Congratulations on degrading the signal to noise ratio. Not that it matters anyway, it was still an entertaining way to watch my lunch hour go by.
John Berger|11.19.09 @ 2:55PM|#
Increasing noise at the expense of signal is the primary method I used to make half of my college classes marginally bearable. Never underestimate the power of a stupid question!!
John Berger|11.19.09 @ 2:58PM|#
As an aside its also how politicians are able to skate through townhall meetings. They respond for 5 minutes on a pointless question while smiling like they farted in a crowded room all the while pimping their talking points. Followed by a 15 second non-answer of an important question.
|11.19.09 @ 5:28PM|#
Hey, now that I think about it, we're much better off knowing that Matt Welch is the resident perv, Bowie & Gary Glitter are the preferred glam rockers, and Matt enjoys the beverage 'Squirt.' Maybe you guys were the ones with the retarded questions, not me.

Twice I asked where the bathroom was, but to no avail. What shitty hosts.
|11.19.09 @ 2:48PM|#
I liked it.
My humble recommendation - Do it once a month/quarter with different staffers.
Art-P.O.G.|11.19.09 @ 2:54PM|#
+1...it was fun
Eric the .5b|11.19.09 @ 2:59PM|#
Agreed.
|11.19.09 @ 3:03PM|#
Indeed; plus one on the agreed.
|11.19.09 @ 3:19PM|#
FTR, I wasn't joking about a Reason TV Lonewacko interview. I think it would be hilarious. Perhaps they could film it at a cocktail party.

RE: threaded comments
The silent majority should shut the fuck up.
JB|11.20.09 @ 1:33AM|#
John, Matt Welch has been in a causal relationship with himself since he started working here.
Is that 'casual' or 'causal'?

this is nice
