What Penn Said...

I'm not gonna lie...I love me some Wil Wheaton. I read his blog, I read his books, I listen to his podcast, I follow him on Twitter, I follow his Tumblr...yeah, I know. Anyway, ever since my unfortunate "unfollow John Cusak or go insane" incident on Twitter, I try to stay away from the political ideologies of the people whose work I admire.

Wil posts a lot of funny things on his Tumblr feed. That is why I follow it. He also uses that platform to provide commentary on politics, sometimes his own and sometimes links to quotes from others. I don't mind the bashing of the republican party because, hey, I don't claim to be a part of that party either. I do, however, have a problem with the insistence that all things conservative are evil and that anyone that agrees with conservative ideas is either brain dead, incompassionate, or both.

I've been considering putting my thoughts down in a blog post here, but two things have kept me from it: 1) With everything that has been going on at work and in my personal life...who has the time! and 2) Who is going to read this anyway? Probably just the 2 people who follow the link from my facebook post.

Luckily, I don't need to. Someone posted a link (thanks, LaLa!) to an article by Penn Jillette that sums it up nicely. So I link for you: I don't know, so I'm an atheist libertarian
