Like a pig opposed to the trough

According to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me (where all right thinking Americans get their news)," after (not) testifying before Congress, he took his nameplate when he left.

It's not surprising then that this Libertarian is opposed to "government sloth."

Working with another former Seal, Al Clark, Mr. Prince sought to create a world-class training facility that could be used by American military and law enforcement personnel. They built their facility in 1997 on a rural site in North Carolina, just south of the Virginia border near Norfolk, which is home to a major Navy base and other military posts. But it was only after the Sept. 11 attacks that Blackwater began to emerge as a major security contractor in war zones.

Mr. Pelton said it would be wrong to assume that Mr. Prince’s political connections account for his success. “It is a mistake to characterize him as his father, or by the right-wing groups his father supported,” Mr. Pelton said. “Politically, I think he is more of a libertarian. He hates government sloth, even as his company gets most of its business from the government.”

Of course he does.

UPDATED to fix some linkage.

Oh, THAT alternative universe

In a typical, as Roy puts it, "glibertarian" post about what we dirty fucking hippies should call ourselves (progressives, donchaknow, are really closet eugenicists), comes this strange passage, apropos of nothing else:

Incidentally, those good goverment reforms (combined with the legal culture changes in the 1970s), are the reason that it takes about seventy years to get anything done at any level of government. My father likes to point out that had George Bush come into office saying "Shoring up the levees in New Orleans is my #1 priority" and proceeded to act on that, by the time Katrina hit the Army Corps of Engineers would probably have just about finished the Environmental Impact Analysis on the preliminary bids.

D'wha?

Ah, right. Just as "progressives" are stirring up memories of eugenics-past by now trying to destroy the human race by insisting on the science of global warming (Are you following me? I'm not.) , environmentalists can also be blamed for Katrina.

Or they could, if George Bush had tried to fix the levees.

I believe, in reality, that preznit had come into office saying he would restore honor and dignity to the White House. Other than the new rug, how's that working out?
