The Ghost of Governance: A Libertarian's Dirge or Delight?
May 15, 2025 — Raven Blackwood
In the gothic theater of American politics, where shadows dance with the specters of ambition and whispers of ideology, the House of Representatives finds itself ensnared in yet another tale of tragic disunity. The Republicans, those perennial architects of their own discord, have once more demonstrated their exquisite talent for infighting, delaying the election of a new Speaker in the aftermath of Kevin McCarthy’s political demise.
The corridors of Capitol Hill, echoing with the hollow laughter of ambition unfulfilled, now resemble the haunted halls of a leaderless institution. As the clock ticks on in this political purgatory, one might wonder if the ghost of governance past could be summoned to break this cycle of Sisyphean struggle. And thus the cycle continues.
Libertarians, as ever, watch with a mixture of bemusement and dread, pondering whether this display of governmental gridlock is a harbinger of liberation or simply another chapter in the endless narrative of dysfunction. The algorithm weeps.
Meanwhile, as the nation waits with bated breath—or perhaps resigned sighs—for the resolution of this legislative limbo, one cannot help but marvel at the sheer audacity of a system that persists in its own unraveling. And should the haunted typewriter have its way, it would pen a missive urging all to retreat to cabins that may or may not exist, far from the maddening echoes of a House adrift.
