How to accept an endorsement

So, who do I favor over all? The candidates of the Boston Tea Party.

That's Dr. Walter Block, writing at LewRockwell.Com today.

As a big fan of Dr. Block's work, I'm flattered and offer sincere thanks on the part of myself, BTP presidential nominee Charles Jay, and our "favorite son" VP candidates.

No, wait. I think I read somewhere that there's a better way to do this. Yes, I remember now:

- I'll send Dr. Block a private note indicating that I'll publicly accept and acknowledge his endorsement at a later, specified, time and place.

- At the last minute, I'll call Dr. Block up and inform him that I've changed my mind -- "it's just not worth it," as he does mention others as well as the BTP's candidates. If he wants further explanation, I'll tell him to go f**k himself.

- Then I'll go to work trashing Dr. Block, claiming that I'm too important to be seen with him and others whom he thinks are worthwhile, that nobody's going to notice any of this anyway, and that he's a small man who's all about himself.

That ought to get the Walter Block Fan voting bloc in my pocket! After all, that's how those "serious" guys over at Bobby Barr's campaign do it, right?

Or maybe not. Maybe I'm just better off gracefully accepting the good wishes of a respected libertarian thinker. I think I'll just do that. Yeah.

Thanks again, Dr. Block.

I like the clever comparison to Bob Barr's work yesterday. Whee!

How did we get such a great stack of candidates, both our own and endorsed by our team? Well, we applied a very simple rule. We looked at their published statements and simply noted where they were for a bigger government.

We've had differences of opinion, obviously. Susan Hogarth thinks that she knows more about the state of Tennessee's plans for building a new fairgrounds on a new site rather than making effective use of their existing fairgrounds compared to Lisa Leeds. But, we found our way clear to endorsing both these ladies.

Have you seen the petition against Barr and Root as the LP candidates? The signers are here:

About 547 when I just looked, and I think it just came up.

Now the petition has 881 signatures.
