Stacy is set to appear on Libertarian Politics Live at 2150 Eastern, which is 9:50 PM for you anachronistic types. I don’t know if his planned trip to Wasilla will come up, but, pending distraction by some shiny object, that’s his stated intention.

If any generous benefactor ever wishes to endow the R.S. McCain School of Journalism, students who report on the first day will be handed a pack of Marlboros and directed to start brewing strong coffee. They’ll have until six o’clock to file 700 words of news and finish that pack of smokes, with nothing to drink but coffee. Lunch will be purchased from a vending machine and eaten at their desks. All instructions to freshmen will be delivered in a manner somewhat like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman addressing Marine recruits in Full Metal Jacket:
In addition to being graded on the quality of their reporting — and the quantity of their coffee consumption — freshmen at the R.S. McCain School of Journalism will receive bonus points for especially imaginative uses of profanity and vulgarity.
That’s just how the job is done, which is why there are so few Christians in the news business.
“Lead us not into temptation” — or journalism. It requires a powerful trust in God’s mercy and grace for a believer to enter this contemptible trade. Fortunately, we are saved by faith and not by works, and in heaven there will be no Election Days and no politicians, neither will there be deadlines nor any %$#&ing telephones to interrupt us in mid-paragraph.
