A surprising recommendation from Alexander Cockburn?

From "Change," "Hope" ... Why They Must be Talking About Joe Biden!:

Face it, if you want to stay true to reason and conscience, the man to vote for is Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate.

Edit: Reaction from Dylan Hales.

I thought Chuck Baldwin was going to appear on the ballot this November for the Constitution Party, but I hadn't heard about the infighting going on in the American Independent Party.

From LRC blog: Pro-War Faction of California American Independent Party Pick Keyes Over Baldwin

Following a split in the California American Independent Party, the Secretary of State has decided that the pro-war faction is the legal party on the ballot in the state. The result of this decision is that pro-war demagogue Alan Keyes will be on the California ballot and Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin will not.

The two factions held separate state conventions. The larger convention was the pro-Baldwin group, but the pro-Keyes faction was headed by the outgoing state chair, Ed Noonan. The Secretary of State said the office has no knowledge of who was at either convention, and of which convention had the larger attendance of state central committee members. The office made their decision based on the fact that Ed Noonan is listed in the records as the state chair.

It is too late for the Baldwin campaign to organize a petition drive, so their only recourse is to file suit, which they are expected to do.

If Baldwin is not on the ballot, then I'm definitely voting for Barr.

Someone has been posting his statement of Declarationism (RenewAmerica Forum) at various paleoconservative groups on Facebook--some sort of Straussian? Someone should tell him that Declarationism is at odds with paleoconservatism.

Barr and Buchanan on Colbert

I enjoy watching The Colbert Report, but I don't keep up with it as I do with other television shows. I came across this from Jack Hunter: Bob Barr and Pat Buchanan on The Colbert Report:

Tonight (6/4/08), the funniest man in TV news (frankly, I consider Colbert’s comic spin on news as credible as most of the knuckleheads on the major networks) will have 2008 Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr on, and tomorrow night (6/5/08) Colbert hosts the most prominent, true conservative this side of Ron Paul -Pat Buchanan. Buchanan is doing a book tour promoting his latest, a revisionist WWII history, focusing on Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler.

I will be putting up the videos once they become available.
