Set Tivos to Stun! C-SPAN's Brian Lamb Interviews Nick Gillespie on Sunday, July 10!
On Sunday, July 10, C-SPAN will run an interview of me by the great Brian Lamb about my new book with Matt Welch, The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong With America; the ins and outs of Reason.tv; my abiding dislike for politics and most politicians; and why I think my kids will inherit a better world than the one I did. And just to show that Lamb is the cagiest interrogator this side of Lynndie England, he even includes a clip reel highlighting my dazzlingly varied wardrobe over the years. It's a wide-ranging, fun, and probing interview, so please tune in.
The interview is part of the Q&A series and it airs at 8pm ET and will be rebroadcast at 11pm ET on Sunday, July 10 (an earlier post had the time wrong). For details or to watch online, go here now.
Last July In July 2009 [d'oh! time is a jet plane, it moves too fast…], C-SPAN asked me to talk about my summer reading schedule, which included Peter Bagge's Everybody's Stupid Except for Me, RU Sirius' Everybody Must Get Stoned, Joe Scarborough's The Last Best Hope, Ayn Rand bios from Anne Heller and Jennifer Burns, and Ha Jin's great novel War Trash. Full disclosure: I did not get to Balzac's The Black Sheep, though I did finish the Steig Larsson trilogy [last summer] (my comments on its verisimilitude here). Here's that clip:

Now we have a contest!
Posts about Michelle Bachmann, dude. They win. HERC and the Gillespe/Welch shilling can't even compete.
One quote from that Human Events Q&A needs repeating:
Also, if anyone has $30 million, I have a spec script....
Flush it all away...
Hey! You SMILE when you say that!
How was Babylon Burning?
The book was fun. I liked the reprinting of his sexual fantasy letters to Penthouse.
His fiction was outstanding, even then
98% of Democrats think Brian Lamb is a Democrat.
98% of Republicans think Brian Lamb is a Republican.
According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, Brian Lamb political affiliation can never be determined with 100% accuracy.
92% of libertarians don't believe anything you tell them.
YOU LIE!
So you change his political affiliation by thinking about it?
Yes, but you need a live cat and a poison gas pellet.
That, and a cushy position in the Nazi atomic bomb program.
Koch Industries does not fund the Nazi atomic bomb program.
Ya, brothers
I was a guard at the Nazi bomb program.
Does that mean he can be a Democrat and a Republican at the same time?
Can I be a male and a lesbian at the same time?
Seems to me you can
Can I be a male and a lesbian at the same time?
Rather says male societies have no art....so I can see no reason why not.
Is it OK if I use my VCR?
Only if you're Amish.
Does Amish-friendly count?
You know how to program a VCR? Shit. Mine ended up going through the window.
Damned kids with their fancy technology!

"DVR - So Simple Even Old Guys Can Use It!?"
Yep. Getting hard to find those betamax tapes though...
Set phasers to abortion!
Set phasers to penis enlargement!
Set phasers to rohypnol! (sticks phaser in Troi's mouth)
Set phasers to hypocrisy:
Libs Outraged Over Paul Ryan's $350 Bottle of Wine? But Were Silent When Nancy Pelosi Pounded Down $101,000 of Booze On "Pelosi One" ?Update: And Obama Served $399 Bottles of Wine to Chi-Coms
Pelosi owns a fucking vineyard... AND uses non-union labor.
Fucking hypocrites.

More hypocrites.
At least Paul Ryan paid for his own wine, rather than sticking taxpayers with the bill.
woo!I like it!everyone should know it
SET PHASERS TO [JOOS]!
What are the chances CSPAN's links are crap or hidden and it's impossible for west coasters to watch this at anytime resembling the times you've listed? I'm guessing 200%
I just got done watching it, Central Time. Worked out fine.
Just check out betasell.com
