I think the concept of providing both left-wing and right-wing views about a variety of different topical subjects side-by-side is a refreshing one, but it would be a lot more valid and useful if they included a third category, namely libertarian views. I sent the website a note to that effect, and encourage others to do the same. Their email address is Editor-in-Chief@... .

P.S. - Wasn't William Weld the governor of Massachusetts? Did he move to New York, or is this a totally different guy? Or am I imagining things?

This is what might be termed useful Spam.

Dear Starchild;

I believe the candidates are in NEW YORK not Massachusetts.

Weld hopes to capture Libertarian Party line
BY JOE MAHONEY
DAILY NEWS ALBANY BUREAU CHIEF

ALBANY - GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bill Weld is sailing into uncharted
waters in New York Republican politics: He's making a major run to line
up the backing of the tiny Libertarian Party.

Weld confirmed to the Daily News last night that he would "definitely
be interested" in winning the Libertarian line

"'Libertarian' is not a bad word in my lexicon," he said, noting one of
his favorite expressions is: "I want the government out of your
pocketbook and out of your bedroom."

Asked about the party's opposition to the war on drugs, Weld said he'd
back medical marijuana, but added, "I'm not for the decriminalization
of drugs."

Because Republicans are outnumbered by Democrats in New York by a 5-3
ratio, GOP candidates covet a second ballot line.

Overwhelmingly, their partner has been the Conservative Party. But
Weld's more conservative GOP rival, John Faso, has a virtual lock on
the Conservative line.

     You are absolutely right! William Weld was governor of Massachusetts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Weld

     Aside: he is married to a distant relative of mine. He's a great guy! He could be a tremendous asset to the libertarian movement if we can get him straightened out on some issues!
