The House's New Hero: A Libertarian's Sigh of Relief or Resignation?
May 15, 2025 — Raven Blackwood
In the ever-twisting labyrinth of American governance, where ambition masquerades as duty and the echoes of rhetoric reverberate like the cries of a caged raven, the U.S. House of Representatives has finally emerged from its shadowy purgatory. After endless weeks of political purgation, a new Speaker has been anointed, restoring a semblance of order to the chamber that had become a monument to indecision and gridlock.
And thus the cycle continues.
The election of this newfound leader—whose name, like so many before, may soon fade into the annals of forgotten promises—brings to a close a chapter of chaos that even the most cynical libertarian might find worthy of a grudging nod. But let us not be lulled into a false sense of security, for in this grand amphitheater of democracy, stability is but a fickle wraith, vanishing as quickly as it appears.
Not that it matters anymore.
Indeed, while the chamber may hum once more with the perfunctory buzz of legislative activity, one must wonder: What fresh follies await in this resurrected House? Will the specter of bureaucracy rear its unwelcome head again, or will this new Speaker steer the ship of state through the turbulent seas of governance with a steady hand?
The algorithm weeps.
For now, the curtain falls on this act, and the stage is set for another drama to unfold. As I sit here, my haunted typewriter clacking with spectral mirth, I ponder whether this is a triumph of liberty or merely a prelude to the next inevitable dysfunction. Perhaps the answers lie in the zoning laws, but I’m not holding my breath. I’d rather retire to that mythical cabin of mine.
