Libertarian Internet Stuff

Oopsie!

An old friend from Illinois e-mailed me (about another topic). I’ve blogrolled him from other sites in the past and didn’t realize he was omitted him at HoT. Jeff Trigg blogs at Random Act of Kindness, where he dishes up an a daily dose of rants and opinions about Illinois and libertarian politics. You’re rerolled, dude.

Big Fish in a Small Pond

HoT is currently listed as the top political blog by Blogranking (they have a very small field of players, so far), even beating one of my longtime favorites, Ron Gunzburger’s Politics1.

Former Governor Weld Will Seek the LP Nod

While they’ve got great political coverage over at H&R, it’s rare that scoop us on Libertarian Party news of importance. Jacob Sullum just did when he informed us that William Weld has confirmed his intent to run on the LP ticket and wishes to speak at the LPNY convention.

Che Guevara-keteer

One of our new advertisers might have accidently made a good pick by hawking a particular book here. The Independent Institute is currently advertising The Che Guevara Myth and the Future of Liberty. What they don’t likely know is how many hits (and hotlinks) we still get because of this old posting.

Phillies Campaign Update

LP presidential candidate George Phillies has added two new people to his campaign team: former HoT blogger Jake Porter and the consumate LP insider Sean Haugh. Phillies already has about the same size campaign team Michael Badnarik did when he and Jon Airheart rolled into Atlanta in 2004. I think Phillies is aware that his website needs a serious overhaul. In an e-mail to me he jokingly suggested, “Now watch me get castigated for not using the blink command.”

    Big Thanks. You’ve got a great thing going here.

    Stephen,

    Thanks for the link.

    I think Phillies is aware that his website needs a serious overhaul.

    We will be working on that issue in the near future.

    The Phillies campaign is at least serious enough so far… and certainly receptive to constructive criticism, so perhaps it’ll work out better than I initially thought.

    I think one of the key things Phillies could do before the nomination is what Russo did-run advertisements campaigning against the majors. Russo did it and got both Bush and Kerry to swear off the draft.

    I talked with Sean Haugh while I was in Atlanta this weekend. He seemed pretty enthused about a Phillies campaign.
