I turned it on in class- my students were intrigued by what a filibuster actually looked like. They had a lot of questions ("how does he pee?")  |

It's certainly inspiring. I am glad to see people standing up for what they believe in for a change.

Glad it's a talking filibuster.
It really is a travesty that the left's outcry against the war mongering Bush and Republicans (accurate) has fallen totally dead now that it's Obama. And worse, (since we expect the media and big wigs to suck) is how many "regular people" on FB I've seen totally supportive of it all. |

I've not read it. I was reading about Steil's newer book about Bretton Woods and I came across this title, and saw that it won the Hayek Book Prize in 2010, so I thought there was a good chance our resident Libertarians have read it.

And the troll crawls back out from under the rock where he resides.

Some prog fans enjoy lyrics containing fairtales and trolls. Some seek to become trolls themselves. |

Yeah even for Slart standards that last one is...well actually I have no idea what's even happening with it.
what's funny about this is....it heavily implies there is STILL oppression. Just we want the big bad corporations to do it : D Slart just prefers the government to do the oppressing! Granted, government is just a tool of big business interests but why tell a progressive that? They just agree, says it sucks, and goes back to why we need more government power to protect us from big companies  |

Ironically I like it in my vidya games but not so much music. Maybe fantasy to some extent but the only trolls I wanna hear are in Skyrim, being clubbed by my thor like skills. |
