Yeah, like let's blame libertarians

Reason Magazine:

A similar thing happened to me over the weekend. I twisted my ankle playing pick-up basketball. As I clenched my jaw in pain, I could only look up to the sky, shake my fist angrily, and curse the name Robert Nozick.

Read the whole entry. It's not like government didn't have anything to do with the 2008 meltdown.

She's at least consistent

Cindy Sheehan speaks:

The "anti-war" "left" was used by the Democratic Party. I like to call it the "anti-Republican War" movement.

Not exactly. The anti-war left let itself be used by the Obamatons.

Alice! It's Nixon or the highway!

Vintage Gleason for Nixon. "Dick Nixon's time has come."

Lost in bizarro world: Prince makes anti-gay remarks

How can this be? The artist formerly declared as Prince now known as Prince makes controversial remarks.

Asked about his perspective on social issues—gay marriage, abortion—Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

Hold on. The miniature singer who used to perform in bikini briefs, leg warmers and platform boots said what?

This is the effeminate musician who played the androgyny card big time with his wild, sexy costumes and provocative lyrics to create album-selling controversy?

The guy whose music was so darn dirty that it inspired Tipper Gore to slap parental advisory stickers on music deemed not suitable for minors?

He’s now against gays having equal rights?

Wow. Talk about alienating your base.

Why the change of heart? Hollywood asks:

What do you think? Is Prince, now a converted Jehovah’s Witness, totally off base? Will you continue to buy and listen to his music? Or do you agree with him?

If the music is good then don't worry about the politics. Why is it that patrons of the arts have to take an artist's politics so seriously?

Decency from the loyal opposition requires such sentiments.
