Although I was previously unaware, it shouldn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that they didn't include former Libertarian Party candidate for governor of New York (and occasional radio-show host), Howard Stern in that list!

Still, I am undecided between which of two Lazarus' political insights best applies to the party platform:

1.) "Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors — and miss."

2) "Political tags---such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, facist, liberal, conservative, and so forth---are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort."
