Reason editor Nick Gillespie dropped by TV squawker John McLaughlin’s interview show (yes, it’s still on) over the weekend to talk politics, and he gave a very libertarian performance — pretty middle of the road, nothing too extreme.
But we did learn one anomalous morsel about the always-clad-in-a-too-big jacket journo man: Before becoming the mag’s editor in 2000, he edited teen magazines–a fact not mentioned in his publication bio, nor in his Wikipedia entry.
No wonder leather became such a teenage a fad in the 1990s!
Is Gillespie ashamed of being a former champion of the likes of Girl’s Life and Seventeen? We hope not, because young people can be libertarians, too. Just ask all those Reason kids who never knew their boss probably has a copy of YM hidden in his desk.
He did it for two years, no less. No one who knows him knows this.
He was probably brainwashing our nation’s young gals all along.
jesus, EVERYONE who knows him knows this already. Get a clue.
lol, not John, though, who did a HUGE double take.
I know NG and didn’t know THIS.
My question: Is his hair real?
Hair is real. He just needs to cut and style it.
This aired a month or two ago, Scoop! Also, what’s middle of the road about legalizing drugs and having an unfettered free market?
I don’t understand the last comment. Unfettered free market? I wanna talk Nick’s hair. And I think he’s due for a cut.

Earlier today they reported that the presidential candidate had more than 20,000 donors serving in the military when he actually got more than 20,000 DOLLARS from those donors. Big difference. […]
Where is Nick from? He looks very New york.

[…] Reason went on to improve both its physical and literary qualities, and was soon sold — handed over? — to Bob Poole, who edited it until sometime in the early 1990s, I believe. I had my disagreements with Bob, as did the “Rothbardian” wing of the movement, mostly over foreign policy, but I never expected the mag to degenerate so rapidly under his successors. Virginia Postrel, one of the more pretentious writers around, claimed that her own personal philosophy, which she calls “Dynamism,” is superior to libertarianism, but the real ideological direction of Reason became all too clear when Reason began taking on a distinctly neoconnish air. When the magazine became so boring that not even the funders could stand to read it, they got rid of Postrel and installed one Nick Gillespie, who is the kind of guy who will wear a black leather jacket to his “One on One” interview wih John McLaughlin (!). During Gillespie’s thankfully brief reign, Reason became the go-to place for articles on why we ought to legalize methamphetamine immediately, if not sooner. The mag’s response to the Iraq war: a “debate” in which both pro and anti sides were given equal time. No such equal time, alas, for the opponents of meth legalization — after all, some things just aren’t debatable. […]
