Mike Denny,

I enjoyed the Timothy Geithner ballad; thanks for bringing this humor to my attention. The attorney who created the Geithner ballad also created a funny song about Nancy Pelosi. If interested, click the following link to hear "That's Pelosi": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNcYtpq8VsQ&feature=channel

All the best,

Mike,

At different points in the evolution of my political awareness, I identified with Democrats, Republicans and, for the longest period of time, neither of the above. One day back in 1993, I heard Harry Browne on the radio during a top-of-the-hour news break congratulating Speaker-of the-House Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton for shutting down the federal government over a congressional budget fight. Browne, one of my political fathers (Vince Miller is my other political father), went on to state that he encouraged both parties, Democrat and Republican, to keep up the good work. I doubt Browne's sound bite was more than ten seconds in length, nevertheless, hearing Browne's statement was a "religious" moment for me. When I heard Browne make those statements, I doubled over in laughter and laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. (I think of that experience as a political exorcism in which all statist demons were cast from my political soul!) It was at that exact moment that I became aware of the Libertarian Party, was given an effective thumbnail sketch of libertarian philosophy, and found my political home. I went on to vote for Harry Browne and, to this day, worship the ground he walked on. It was Harry Browne's humor (same for Vince Miller), not fear tactics or knowledge of statistical minutia, that drew me into the LP. Your idea to link libertarian humor with the LP is an excellent idea.
