Now days, the television show with the strongest libertarian content is Penn and Teller’s Bullshit on Showtime. They have looked at such diverse subjects as recycling, PETA, the funeral industry, the Bible, and the war on people who use certain kinds of drugs, in a very entertaining way, always using a free market and individual liberties perspective. Tomorrow night, August 19th, at 10PM (it will be repeated numerous times) they take on one of our most sacred of cows, 12 step programs. It is certain that they will remain consistent in their point of view because the show will include Jeff Schaler author of Addiction is a Choice.

My favorite Penn moment did not occur on Showtime, however, it came during Politically Incorrect. They were discussing a TV appearance by Bill Clinton related to that woman he did not have sex with. Penn said he was a little disappointed because he was hoping for an on the air suicide.
