Hear, hear! After hearing his rant on the latest episode... I felt "seen". He perfectly articulated my own drunken feelings in a far more coherent, entertaining way.
Matt has played a big role in my political evolution. When I first got interested in libertarianism, he was one of the first writers I really gravitated towards. I first started reading Reason when he was editor-in-chief, and I was "radicalized" by <em>The Declaration of Independents</em>.
But more importantly, it's no secret that there are many prominent libertarian thinkers who happen to be lunatics and psychopaths. I'm really glad I was exposed to Matt's moderate, non-dogmatic, "squishy" brand of politics instead. He probably helped prevent me from wandering too far down the rabbit hole. (Too bad he couldn't save Kmele though...)
