#Libertarians Took Control of This Small Town in #NewHampshire. It Didn’t End Well.

A new book shows the troubling consequences of #GraftonNH’s anti-government experiment.

"Today, we are all living in Grafton. Armies of rabid bears are wandering through our streets, clawing at our window screens, and gnashing their teeth at our children while the phone rings unanswered at the state department of fish and game. The old village church is erupting in flames, but someone has slashed the tires on our town’s lone fire truck, and the fire hydrants—unmaintained for a decade—have all run dry. Terrified, we beg our neighbors for help, only to be told that the Lord will protect us, or that the cataclysm in the streets is just punishment for our moral failures or our political misdeeds."

Excerpt: "Certainly, the author is not alone in finding cause for amusement in Grafton’s funny little basket of deplorables. For years now, reporters and pundits have chosen to focus on the style, rather than the policy substance, of the growing #LibertarianRight. Again and again, we read stories of rural rubes clad head to toe in #MAGA swag, hunched over chipped cutlery in dingy diners, wielding biscuits to wipe the last of the sausage gravy from their oversized plates while vociferously proclaiming that taxation is theft and inveighing against the nanny state. In choosing to shoot these red, white, and blue fish in a barrel, Hongoltz-Hetling is in very good company.

"But had the author not chosen snark over substance, his book could have served as a peculiarly timely cautionary tale, because the conflicting philosophical principles that drive this story are central to understanding American politics today. The differences between the libertarian stumblebums who moved to Grafton and the staff of the #Koch-funded #CatoInstitute are mostly sartorial. And the sad outcomes of Grafton’s wacky social experiment are now being repeated in American communities every single day. "

There are reasons why #NewHampshire is NOT like the rest of #NewEngland (and why they are not part of #District13 in my version of the #Panem map).

"Some see an ‘emerging market.’ Others, an environmental threat."

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The federal Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, accompanied by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., today held a press conference at which they announced a new federal regulation that purports to pre-empt all federal and state law that make use of seatbelts mandatory on trains, planes, buses, and private vehicles, on the grounds of YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM! Spokespersons for the two agencies hid under their desks while yelling "No obbla inglays!".

Lying like Trump.

The North Carolina Attorney General’s Office said Monday that it is eyeing a political action committee created by billionaire Elon Musk following a complaint to the state election board over the PAC’s collection of personal data while failing to help users register to vote as promised.

While in Ottawa recently, Alberta premier Downadeepwell Smith created an inspirational political video exhorting all Canadians to end divise politics and to work together to build a strong Canada where even muddle-brained codswallop about First Nations history and climate-change may one day be welcomed as if she actually had a clue any day of the week.

After University of Lethbridge cancels lecture by crackpot former professor (Widdowson, not Peterson) who has maintained that residential schools had a positive side, Alberta's Education minister announced bold new measures to strengthen Albertans' Freedumb of Shpiel.

Federal conservasaur leader Putrid Pooleaver spoke at the Freedumb Centre for Public Policy in Winnipeg this week, where he further described his vision of a future where all Canadians, whether white or something else less desirable, can parade half-baked opinions and maybe even lead a federal party to unforeseen depths of self-inflicted shame. But on the other hand, he avoided mentioning crypto.
