Democrats drink pinot. Republicans drink whiskey. Libertarians drink at bars. Even better, the grumblety-peg curmudgeons host their political conventions at watering holes – or at least our local cranks will at the Maricopa County Libertarian Party Convention today at Ticoz Resto-Bar. Action items on the alcohol-stained agenda include the election of new officers and “speeches of interest on the future of the party and liberty in America” by talk-radio host Charles Goyette (pictured) and Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Buttrick. As always with politics, even the Libertarian kind, there’s a catch: To get in, you’ve gotta buy some grub.
