I will always have fond feelings for Playboy, though not for the stereotypical reason.
My appreciation for the magazine is largely based on the fact that I got a very nice honorarium from the German version back in the 1990s for writing an assessment of Bill Clinton’s likely approach to economic policy (confession: he turned out to be much better than I predicted).
Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten almost all of the German I learned in high school, so I can’t read the translated version of the article that appeared in the magazine.
Now Playboy has done something else that I appreciate, putting together a very clever matrix showing what Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Greens think about various policy issues.
It’s obviously satire, but it’s very clever and effective because it does a good job of capturing stereotypes from each group (just like this poster showing 24 types of libertarians).
As you can see, the “libertarian chicken” obviously provided the answers for the third column.
In addition to mind-your-own-business Libertarians, Playboy gives us abortion-über-alles Democrats, elitist Republicans, and fuzzy-headed Greens. A bit of truth in all those caricatures.
So kudos to them for mocking all parties equally. Comedy Central probably wouldn’t be losing so many viewers if it also took this even-handed approach.
P.S. If you like libertarian-oriented humor (both pro and con), then click here and here.

Democrats want to act as if they are entitled to dictate how much money people can keep. Republicans want to act as if they have the right to interfere in the affairs of other countries. Libertarians think people should be able to live freely, without government telling them what to do.

I agree with the libertarians on pretty much everything they say.
the saintly deeds of democrats and republicans… from a new book:
The Confessions of Congressman X and it promises “a devastating inside look at the dark side of Congress as revealed by one of its own.”
