Just launched nuclear armageddon upgraded the website’s software innards. Everything seems to work from Stinque HQ, but we live a charmed life. If something misbehaves, email God and curse as creatively as the Lord intended.

We have a quota to meet.Beefcake Iraq anti-war vet and deep-fried Libertarian Adam Kokesh has been a declared Congressional candidate for only a week, and already he’s embroiled in controversy.

For not being Libertarian enough.

Make no mistake, Kokesh knows his Galt from his Roark. And he proudly displays an endorsement that proudly references libtard strokefest V for Vendetta.

But Kokesh, who hasn’t yet declared a party affiliation, is also happy to pick up the endorsement of something called the Modern Whig Party.

You remember the Whigs. Abe Lincoln’s pals, before everyone deserted them. Or as the anonymous leader of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Libertarian Faith considers them, fucking statists:

Um, can you excuse us for a few minutes?Sure, she misquoted Plato, but nobody cares about that outside philosophy departments. But now Talibunny’s tweeting Uncle Walter:

“Most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they’re not, by my definition, they can hardly be good newspapermen” W. Cronkite

That one’s a staple among wingnut “media watchdogs” — and to nobody’s surprise, it’s twisted out of context.

The occasion was the June 1973 issue of Playboy, back when people really did read it for the articles. Then as now, elected officials were bitching about the “liberal” slant of the news. (And also then as now, elected officials were subverting the Constitution, but that’s another story.) So let’s join the interview, already in progress…

Red Fish Dead Fish.

Something’s not making sense.

Which isn’t news when it comes to Sarah Palin, but bear us out.

Talibunny’s minions claim she owes more than $600,000 in personal legal expenses. But back on June 21, the Alaska Daily News reported that a “conservative Web site” boasted of covering $100,000 of that in a week.

Leaving $500,000. And presuming absolutely nothing else was raised since April 24, when the “Alaska Fund Trust” was announced, including coverage in the Wall Street Journal. (SarahPAC, her other joint, doesn’t raise money for legal debts.)

Donations to the Trust are limited to $150, for reasons the organizers won’t explain, but by happy coincidence matches the Alaska cutoff for 30-day gift disclosures. Trustees promise to release a full list of donors in August, although legally the fund is free of official oversight.

So let’s do some math.
