Reasoner on the TV: Nick Gillespie on Stossel Tonight at 9pm ET
In addition to spots on Parker Spitzer, Freedom Watch, and Red Eye, Reason's Nick Gillespie also has a cameo on tonight's episode of Stossel, which airs on Fox Business at 9pm ET and again at midnight ET.
Though Gillespie has never tasted Four Loko, Joose, or Moon Shot Ale, he defends your right to drink caffeinated alcoholic beverages as long as you don't wake him up drunk and speeding in the middle of the night to tell him that you really really really - no, really - appreciate him for doing so.
Read John Stossel's Reason col on the stupidity of banning such beverages here.
Watch Reason.tv's Why the Feds Banned Four Loko (and is your favorite beverage next?).

I'll wake him up in the middle of the night to tell him how bitchin the Jacket is.
Freedom Man: When wearing his magical black leather jacket Nick G. possesses the powers of debate, calm demeanor, and a sonic attack (generated from his movement while wearing the jacket) which causes his foes to lose their train of thought.
Arch foes: Nasally pundits who repeat talking points from their political team whether they relate to the debate or not.
Team Stossel, assemble here!
"Nick Gillespie on Stossel Tonight at 9pm ET"
So Stossel's a bottom then. That would explain the mustache.
Dude, have you seen The Jacket's new stache? I suffered through PArker/Douchenozzle, and "The 'stache" shows up, disguised as The Jacket.
He looked like 70's Movie Cop, or The Other Guitarist (not Slash) w/Velvet Revolver.
Very disturbing...based on your logic, which is good, The Jacket COULD BE a bottom, too.
**shudders**
I was eating dinner and saw CNN on a tv in the back and I had to do a double take. Handlebar mustache on Nick Gillespie. When did he grow that? Was it real?
My resolution was to start drinking nicotine.
Four Loko label warning:
May cause fearmongering hyperbole in politicians when held up in front of cameras.
Santa Clause vs. Seth MacFarlane. Go!
Ha, "no evidence that they're safe".
Those cops are enjoying pointlessly pointing their guns a little too much.
Capitol Hill has vaccinated itself against empty nest syndrome.
Chocolate covered pelicans.
Ezra wants Ted Kennedy's funeral pyre boat's view marred by offshore drilling rigs instead of wind farms.
Ha, Stossel goes to Shep Smith as an example of media hysteria.
Smith was probably the guy who first made claims of cannibalism at the Superdome (after three days).
"Any human activity has some negative environmental side effects."
Even my victory garden?
John Stossel, in the pocket of Big Gas.
An anti-malaria commercial. I guess it's an ad for DDT.
John Stossel, town drunk
Jittery town drunk.
Next on ER: Dr. Noah Wylie gets his extra high soap box to talk about Four Loko.
Gillespie!
HFS, is that a new jacket?
FDA, PROTECT ME! Don't make me think.
Ooo, an ejaculation joke.
Well, let's not use France, Italy and Spain as selling point on this.
Rhonda is looking better and better through Stossel's beer goggles.
A reference to SWAT raids and Balko nowhere in sight.
Guess what, Ann, you're paying for the Drug War now. And it's pretty costly.
Coulter is grasping at straws.
No one likes the taste of gin.
Ouch, for the Dutch.
There's a difference between not encouraging something and throwing people in jail for doing that thing.
WE ARE PAYING FOR THE WAR ON DRUGS.
Some of these drug trying people even become president.
Why isn't Ann out here to hear the panel's takedown in person?
Oh, Megan. Antivirals are already legal.
What, no audience participation?
Uh-oh. There's that regulation fort John likes to hide behind.
Was that an episode of "Married... With Childern"?
Seacrest out.
Must suck being the only commenter on this thread, Fist of Etiquette.
I enjoy the tranquility.
