Champaign for our real friends, real pain for our sham friends. Good health to those who love liberty.

A libertarian blog, eh? Viva Bookchin!


Posted by Chris Baldwin at January 1, 2007 02:21 AM

I prefer to describe myself as a social individualist or classical liberal lest I be mistaken for the Rothbardian flavour of libertarian. Bookchin, eh? For my views on 'libertarian' socialism see here...

So Perry - is the beard coming back this year? Sort of an "AntiTrotsky" look.


Posted by CFM at January 1, 2007 04:14 AM

Sorry, that was a joke! Neither sort of libertarian is really my cup of tea. Nice looking blog though.

Happy New Year All.
Where can I get one of those T shirts with the evil-eyed cat on then?


Posted by Robert at January 1, 2007 11:59 AM

Robert... the shirt comes from here.


Posted by Perry de Havilland at January 1, 2007 01:14 PM

Happy New Year!

A very cool t-shirt indeed.

BTW, who is who in that picture? (I only recognize Perry, Adriana and Brian).


Posted by Alisa at January 1, 2007 03:15 PM

Happy New Year, Perry. Looks like you all had a great evening. Excellent chamagne selection!

Here's hoping that the cause of liberty gets a few doses of good fortune this year. We can all hope, anyway.


Posted by Johnathan Pearce at January 1, 2007 09:18 PM

Happy New Year, folks!

And may the only sane ur-libertarian blog on the Internet have continued success and prosperity.

Okay, one small quibble: why does Adriana always look sensational, and the rest of you look like grubby escapees from some Bloomsbury playreading society?

Kim, if you want to know I am the Sean Connery of the group, or so my wife tells me.

(okay, try not to laugh)


Posted by Johnathan at January 2, 2007 10:39 AM

Thanks, Perry.
One on order.

I like the picture of the attractive young carer with her group of elderly clients at the bottom.
