Welcome to Happy Fun Pundit

The only blog chock-full of crunchy pundity goodness.

Okay, seriously. Let's talk about what this site is up to. First, our political affiliation: We are firmly in the conservative/libertarian wing of the building, but George Will kicked us downstairs for making too much noise, and Pat Buchanan upstairs drove us absolutely NUTS with that damned goose-stepping. So here we are in the basement of the conservative wing of politics, where we can make as much noise as we want and throw parties without waking up the old fuddies.

This site is dedicated to the idea that conservative/libertarian philosophy is not just correct, but fundamentally optimistic. It's impossible to believe in the rightness of free markets without believing that they will ultimately take us to a better world. And if the future looks bright, why are so many conservatives so damned sour all the time? If you really believe in free markets, you should have trouble keeping yourself from giggling inappropriately just thinking about what's coming. So call us O'Rourke, Dave Barry, South Park conservatives. We're here to spread the word, have some fun, and kick some well-deserved asses from time to time.
