If I were as prone to sloganizing as Mamet, I’d keep clear of bumper-sticker comparisons altogether.
I wonder what a smart but mislead writer like Mamet thinks about being taken down by an equally smart writer who a) can't be easily dismissed as an idiot and b) can't be dismissed a mere ideological analog? I bet a Mamet response would be predictably bellicose, but surely he'd recognize, at least privately, that he just got his ass kicked in public.

otm and the moment I finished the Hitchens review I googled around to see if Mamet had responded. Hitchens was the perfect person to get to review that book.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/06/sovereign_citizen_thrown_out_of_pizza_chain_bankru.php
The case centers around Giordano's owner John Apostolou, who was forced to give up his control of the pizza chain, which he's owned since 1988, after his businesses fell into $45.5 million worth of debt. The chain has been under bankruptcy protection since February, but Apostolou only lost control after he submitted some court filings in the style of the sovereign citizen movement. One filing declared that Apostolous and his wife are "American Freemen, free inhabitants of the Illinois state, and we find it impossible to obtain State declared Legal Tender at Law." They also said they don't believe in U.S. currency or the legal system, typical beliefs of sovereign citizens, who generally consider almost all branches of the U.S. government to be illegitimate.

LOL:
The rules set up by Mall of America officials for Sarah and Bristol Palin's book signing yesterday seemed to have been written in anticipation of an army of fans."'Camping out' is not allowed," the rules read. "Beginning at 5 a.m., guests will be allowed to line up."But there was no teeming crowd of rabid Palinites at 5 a.m. And less than a half hour into the appearance of Bristol, Sarah, and Todd Palin, the crowd had dwindled to a trickle of latecomers.

From one of the first comments:
I've considered myself a Libertarian for many years, but have to say that I found their views a bit extreme. I didn't know that there were some branches of Libertarianism that were against government regulating food or medicine safety.
iow, I've been calling myself a libertarian because it sounds nice, but I have never taken the slightest effort to discover what "libertarian" might mean.
― Aimless, Friday, 1 July 2011 18:51 (1 year ago) Permalink
when I was in high school, there was maybe a 15-minute window where I thought the concept of libertarianism was worth investigating; those 15 minutes ended when I realized the person I was discussing this with was a disenfranchised just-slightly-short-of-being-racist douche who considered the Civil Rights Act to be an overreach of government
― DJP, Friday, 1 July 2011 18:55 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think that anyone who is an actual Libertarian has to think that! The rest are just enthralled with the romanticism of some ideas, imo
― mh, Friday, 1 July 2011 19:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
whenever i take that "political compass" test (something i've been doing for what seems like decades now), i wind up deep in left/libertarian territory, between the little "dalai lama" and "nelson mandela" dots.
Economic Left/Right: -4.88Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69
this inclined me, once upon a time, to think that i might actually be a libertarian. at least until i found out what actual, real-world "libertarians" were all about. now i have no home. :(

I was an honest to god registered libertarian in 1992 because my roommate told me that libertarians were pro-marijuana legalization and I was too high to look into it any further. I was with my other roommate when he registered to vote as a member of the "People's Pot Party." We were awesome.
