I’m not an American and am rooting against the Celtics.

An extra couple of links.

A letter in response from a certain John Vernon from the Libertarian Party of California says he is “appalled and embarrassed” that Rockwell identifies as a libertarian:

The fast lane thread read like an application to Dunning-Kruger University - “I’m an excellent, experienced driver, therefore I am capable of driving at speeds that are proven to be dangerous while dictating how others who I have not met nor will I ever meet operate their private vehicles”.

Right, piss off. I could rearrange his life in countless salutary ways (starting with “I don’t waste my money on speeding tickets and you shouldn’t either, which is why I have the money to never fly coach”) but I don’t because it’s not my place to do so.
