We Are WaCK

Oh great, you’re saying. Another libertarian blog. I bet this one will be totally different than all the other Libertarian Blogs! I cannot wait. Well sorry, Lord Sarcastic Cynicism McPantywaist. Why don’t you take your dismissive wanking motion elsewhere. Or you can pack up your expectations and projections and save them for your own blog.

Whiskey and Car Keys is your home for the life lived libertarian. We live, work, and play in the cultural mecca of D.C. and Northern Virginia, where apartments are too expensive and the summer is too hot. We share a common world-view, with varying interests, pursuits, and tastes.

You can expect some policy, some politics, some art, music, humor, and original writing. We’re mostly libertarians, we’re mostly friends, and we’re mostly awesome. Enjoy.

 

Meet Whiskey and Car Keys


Aaron – A time of darkness. A nation in peril. A town, in need of a hero. THIS SUMMER. ONE. WILL. RISE. In a theater near you, Whiskey and Car Keys, starring John Cusack, Kate Beckinsale, Wilford Brimley, and introducing Aaron, as Aaron. Rated R for brief (Wilford Brimley) nudity.

Christina suffers from an identity crisis of having lived in two states before journeying to DC: Texas and Kansas. She prefers to be considered a Texan, unless in certain circumstances it’s more convenient to be from Kansas. And for that matter, wildcats are real animals; Jayhawks are not.

PicantePants is a southern-born pepper with an unfortunately small hint of Mexican blood, but that does not prevent her intense appreciation of all foods spicy and black bean dominated. Nothing about Chipotle is terribly authentic to Mexican street food, but who cares when it is that damn good. PicantePants is pleased to bring you along on her journey to sample all D.C. Beltway Chipotles, and don’t be surprised if other D.C. cuisines makes cameo appearances along the way.
Phil Raintree is a retired dishwasher from Maryland. He keeps his fingernails cut short so old bay doesn’t get under them and sting when he takes out his contact lenses.
Seth hails from the Old Dominion.  He likes torte, but loves tort. He’s probably digested three Nozick articles in the time it took you to read this. Not physically digested. Gross.
Tate grew up in Nashville, TN and studied economics at Clemson University in Clemson, SC. He likes reading, writing, PBR, Texas country, southern rock, some bluegrass, and not talking to people.
