PM intervenes in Patil-Ramadoss tiff over gay sex

Ok, whatever, I just hope there are no gay penguins, otherwise Respected Ma'am will have to intervene.

Indian blogosphere sucks: Exhibit, never mind

Alternatively nonsense begets a bigger, and deeper pile of nonsense .

PS. If this was absurd, this is too embarrassing, but not as much as this* which is achievable only by likes of Desi John Galt, Eminent douchebag and Jagadguru.

Chetan, I have always maintained on my blog that I support libertarianism from a first-principles/moral perspective. It is rather clever of you to admit defeat in that regard, dispose of it summarily, and then try to bury us (at least me) in an avalanche of utilitarian arguments.

I am not qualified or knowledgeable enough to enter that argument. More importantly, I am not interested in that argument.

* To explain I find this talk of first principles sophomoric and tedious. Sure it is necessary to have a starting point, but that is just the assumption (or set of assumptions) you make, please, oh please don't confuse the assumptions with a a universal physical or even moral law.

They say patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Accusations of racism is the last refuge of the liberal scoundrel, and it has been used again and again on the part of the Obama campaign.

Quite. In India of course  it is communalism / fascism / casteism which share the honour for the refuge of liberal scums, hence the existence of Big Boob and his boy toy.

However, I would appeal to you and to all Americans to acknowledge that the preservation of our liberties ultimately depends on the enormous dedication and self-sacrifice of our military men and women. I am very concerned about whether our professional class, buffed all shiny and bright by the elite universities, will ever have the will or stamina to defend this nation in a major crisis. As I've predicted for years, we're heading down a path similar to that of the Roman empire -- with a sophisticated, self-absorbed upper class enjoying a comfortable lifestyle whose security is maintained by a career military (increasingly foreign or mercenary as Rome declined). Soldiers must do or die by the good judgment or shallow caprice of a nation's leaders, who are the ones who bear all moral responsibility in this matter.
