Jon Henke Stirs a Storm on the Right (Or, Why I Like Hanging Out with Libertarians)

If you didn’t have a chance to catch Wednesday’s FDH Lounge radio show, they’ll be posting the link soon, and I’ll let you know when you can swing on by the archives ’cause you oughta give it a listen. Host Rick Morris and I talked for at least half an hour, covering everything from Ted Kennedy to conspiracy theories and propaganda to health care policy around the world — all we needed were some robot/zombie references and we’d have hit just about everything of worth in this sweet wide universe.

One thing that made it particularly fun is that Rick and I disagree a ton politically (though we may be closer together on Eagles football), but we can still talk about issues and personalities reasonably and with good humor. In part, I think it’s because Rick is at heart a libertarian, and as long as I’ve known libertarians I’ve enjoyed hanging out with them.

Last Chance to Vote for SXSW Panels!

Vote for my PanelPicker Idea!

Voting for panel ideas for next Spring’s South By Southwest Conference/Festival ends tonight (Friday) at midnight Central Time, so now’s your last chance to ead over to the easy-to-use SXSW Panel Picker and give your thumbs-up to my submissions for the Interactive and Music conferences. Both presentations would be based on ideas in the Obama e-book, but the Interactive panel would focus on online marketing, promotion and brand-building, while the Music panel would look more at how bands and musicians can find and mobilize fans.

Also, be sure to check out Interactive panel ideas from Julie Germany, Lynn Stinson, Amanda Marcotte (note flame war in the comments), Julie Blitzer, Sarah Granger, Kyle McLellan, Mary McClelland and Meghan Warby, all of which look really interesting. But wait, there’s more! Allyson and the Frogloop Folks (hmmm, they should form a band) have linked over to a bunch of good politics- and nonprofit-related panel ideas, giving you even more opportunities to spread warm fuzzies to all. See you in Austin!
