That’s right, from now on, Windypundit will have considerably less libertarian content. No, it’s not that I’ve converted to mainstream politics. It’s just that from now on, I’ll be posting most of my libertarian rants over at the new Nobody’s Business blog.
The original Nobody’s Business blog was created by Rogier van Bakel, and named after Peter McWilliams’s wonderful book Ain’t Nobody’s Business if You Do: The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in a Free Society. Rogier ran it for years, but lately he’s been having trouble keeping fresh content on the home page. Meanwhile, I’d been thinking of starting a new multi-author libertarian-ish blog for a while, but first that meant I’d have to find other libertarian-ish authors. One day, Rogier and I got to talking, and we realized there was a solution to both our problems.
Soon thereafter, we roped California criminal defense lawyer Rick Horowitz into our mad scheme. He’s still exploring his libertarian urges, but unlike pundits like me, he actually gets out there and takes on the leviathon in its lair on behalf of his clients.
We’ve got plans to recruit a few more authors to the blog, and we’re not loving everything about the new blog design (which is mostly due to my iffy design skills and unfamiliarity with WordPress), but we went live a few weeks ago and have been posting new stuff pretty regularly. Here’s some of the latest:
- From Rogier: Young people these days: selfish, preening monsters
- From me: Chinese prosperity is not necessarily a threat
- From Rick: There’s a war for that
So drop on by, check us out, and say hello.
Looking forward to reading you guys. Have fun.
Thanks. Fun is a big part of it. Although we wouldn’t hate getting ahold of some of that Koch money that we keep hearing about.
