“Trump, Fiorina, and Howard Stern” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I write of the prospects for a troll/woman-in-tech ticket and how it all seems very 1994.

“17-Candidate Lightning Round” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

My brief reactions to last night’s massively multi-candidate debate.

“Tech in Self-Destruct Mode” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I write of philosopher Alain de Botton creating a porn site, a Mexican horde attacking Uber cars, and other market-flouting tech-related ideas.

“Paul on the Road to Damascus” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Rand Paul is basically a “minarchist paleolibertarian” and should say as much in tomorrow’s debate, albeit admittedly in simpler terms, I write.

“Rand Paul Debate Prep” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Rand Paul apparently confuses people, but I think there’s a coherent philosophy there, and this Thursday’s debate is the perfect time to defend it explicitly, I write.

“From the GOP 17, a ‘Fantastic Four’” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

There may be no heroes among politicians, but I try whittling the massive GOP field down to the four least-villainous in today’s column.

“American Torn, Like a Tiny Fetus” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

The U.S. is actually pretty moderate and uncertain on abortion, which I argue in today’s column contributes to its queasiness over Planned Parenthood revelations.

“The Lion in Twitter” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

There’s something odd about the anti-lion-hunter outrage when it evokes tears from Jimmy Kimmel, who encourages stealing candy from children, as I write today.

“Disputed Border Between Sanders and Trump” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Bernie Sanders calls immigration a free-market scheme, and I heartily agree.

“Gay Swedish Right-Wing Freedom March” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Perhaps we can all learn from tomorrow’s gay right-wing Muslim-baiting march in Sweden, I write.

“Trump as Reform Candidate” by Todd Seavey from SpliceToday

Trump seems sort of populist, like the weird minor party he flirted with in 2000, I write.

“Asswar, Racewar: Nicki Minaj vs. Taylor Swift” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

I write of the celebrity butt-battle that almost became something larger and uglier.

“Trans vs. Tolerant” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

The trans movement can get a bit ugly and weird, even in the eyes of sympathizers, I write.

“Marriage Evolves (on Another Planet)” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

Unlike Shikha Dalmia, I still think the end goal should be completely privatizing marriage and letting countless types of contracts bloom, I write.

“Wrong Time to Pummel Trump and Gawker” by Todd Seavey on SpliceToday

McCain seems as if he should be fair game for Trump, and a member of the media-government-corporate elite is probably fair game for Gawker, I write.
