Hopefully coherent thoughtlets

I have a cold. This is very annoying but not in the least surprising, I always get sick when I stop worrying about something/am about to start a new job, and unless I stay sick *mutter* my Scitech interview is on Friday. Sometimes being me is very annoying.

For anyone who saw my swancon costume and didn't know who I was, I was dressed as Claire from "Bite Me".

During some panel at Swancon (I forget the context) strangedave disagreed with my assertion that libertarians are right wing, saying "What about socialist libertarians". I decided to look it up when I got home since it sounded like a contradiction in terms to me. So, I just remembered to google "socialist libertarian", and what is the very first link? The Libertarian National Socialist (Nazi) Green Party. Whose page starts with a little thing about how they're against racism. No, there's no contradiction there at all :) (Currently I'm half reading the wikipedia page but I'm too sleepy for politics)

Also this reminds me of a comic I came accross while going through the tailsteak.com archives today (still going). Nothing like interent archives when you're sick and bored.

Reading the wiki entry I realised it's like in Ursula K LeGuin's "The Dispossessed" and all was clear(ish, I am still sick). Thank heavens for that book, I'd never been able to quite get my head around anarchic socialism before I read it. Still not sure it would work of course, but at least I know what people mean :)

*shakes fist at Capitalist Libertarians, boy they make me testy*
