Yesterday in the comments to a post on Ardolino, Peter Jackson opined that his website sucks. I didn’t recall that, so I went over there and spent some time there this morning, and can unequivocally state that Peter’s just wrong about his website.
I also checked out the trailers to the Coen Brothers’ new movie, No Country for Old Men, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel and in theaters November 9. It looks . . . intense.
I don’t get the McCarthy craze. His early work is Faulkner warmed over. His later is Steinbeck reheated.
I don’t know, either. But I wish someone would make a movie of O’Nan’s “A Prayer for the Dying”.
But them I’m shitty and Bill’s not.
What, he’s not shitty and Bill is?
here is more on Bobby Jinal’s problematic behuedness. Peter’s last post was about Bobby.
It seems they are pissed cause he has shown no inclination to implement a caste system and liberate the cows. Whatever happened to giving a guy the first one hundred days before passing judgment like that?
*Jindal*
He got on my Favourites list for the post on Transport
http://www.liberalcapitalist.com/blog/181
He bashes “sovietized taxi regimes”, uses “deregualtion” twice in one paragraph and links to a kick-ass table of stats to back up his argument. Swoon.
And THEN I read “Imagine No. 1” http://www.liberalcapitalist.com/blog/176
and felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

Dan!
What can I say, man, you’re the coolest. Although I must admit that when I first clicked over to PW and saw the headline “Peter Jackson is Wrong” I experienced maximum clench.
Like Stephen Green, Instapundit, Bill Quick, and a lot of others, I was a Big “L” (albeit conservative) ibertarian, right up until 9/11. Which is nothing special. Which is my point: there are millions of us. The Democrats are too married to the economic know-nothing left, the Republicans are too married to social-con populism, and the Libertarians are too married to philosophical purity, and as a result we’re getting nowhere fast. We’re continually fighting yesterday’s political battles over and over and over again. Something has to move. We have to move, if we don’t want to leave this earth any better for those who follow us.
Chances are excellent that for the most part, if you aren’t hard left or hard right, you are a liberal capitalist. Me too! I’m forty-two years old, and I’ve decided that other than being the best husband and father I can be, I have absolutely nothing better to do with the next twenty or so years of my life than to do what I can to help bring us together, and possiblyâ€â€possiblyâ€â€nudge America to the next level of liberty, prosperity, and confidence.
