Another low-wattage celebrity has joined the Libertarian Party cavalcade of mediocrities: Dean Cameron.

“He made his name as a funnyman actor in lighthearted teenage comedies like ‘Ski School’ (1991), ‘Ski School 2’ (1994), and ‘Summer School’ (1987),” says the LP News.

Just wait ’til they promote this in their ads:

“Wow, honey, that guy from ‘Summer School’ is a Libertarian. This changes my whole outlook toward them. No, not Mark Harmon, honey. He was one of the two kids obsessed with splatter movies. Don’t you remember?”

Cameron “has been in the news more recently as the inventor of the ‘Bill of Rights, Security Edition’ for travelers — the first 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution printed on sturdy, playing card-sized pieces of metal. The product is designed to set off the metal detectors in airports and force airport security to ‘take away your Bill of Rights.'”

That’s actually not half bad.

Meanwhile, the news brings me yet another sign of my severe underachiever status. Jason Sorens, like me, is 26. Unlike me, he is leading a group of 20,000 libertarians who plan to move en masse to New Hampshire to tilt the state in a more freedom-friendly direction.

You see, his day job as a political science lecturer at Yale University just wasn’t enough to brag about; he had to become a libertarian social revolutionary as well.

This may or may not be a boon to liberty (I rather doubt it), but it’s doing nothing for my self-esteem.
