Man, it felt good to not blog or write anything for the last week-plus. I’ve especially enjoyed not discussing the future of the Republican Party. May it rest in pieces.

But, alas, all good things must come to an end. So, here’s more from Brink Lindsey on “liberaltarians.” Needless to say, I think there’s a lot to be said for his arguments — especially given the fact that the GOP seems to have learned nothing from its defeat in November. While a libertarian alliance with the Democrats remains a fairly shocking proposition, it seems increasingly plausible.

Most notable fact from Brink’s latest piece: Democrats gained with libertarian voters in 2006, without alienating other major voting blocs. This at least puts a dent in the idea that no one can offer anything to libertarians without sending the rest of the electorate screaming from the room like a call girl from Milton Berle.
