The Soggy Potato Chip Theory

The Soggy Potato Chip Theory states that, when a good potato chip isn't available, a child will accept a soggy one. And when "good" attention isn't available, a child will accept "bad" attention instead.

It is in this vein that I point out a story in Sunday's dreadful News-Leader, in which Greene county Libertarians chose their new officers.

The story, however, is about Doug Burlison abandoning principle for pragmatism (and not even realistic pragmatism at that) and Keith Rogers, who is apparently under the mistaken belief that the Libertarian party supports establishing a theocracy.

Any publicity is good publicity, I guess.
