Kelsey Grammer's Libertarianism; Scott Dilbert's Federalism

On
CNN, Frasier talks to Piers Morgan about his political
beliefs:

The actor pointed out that, like the tea party, he believes
"smaller government's a good idea. Always have. I think lower taxes
are a good idea. Always have."
Grammer does, however, fully support gay marriage, which many
tea partiers oppose.
"I guess I'm more libertarian in that way," Grammer said. "I
think marriage is up to two people that love each other, and if you
find a church that you want to get married in, you go right ahead."
Grammer added that he doesn't believe the government should be
involved in marriage.

Whole thing, including video (and four marriages, and laments
about greed)
here.
Meanwhile, on
his blog,
Dilbert creator Scott Adams is talking constitutional reboot:

I like the idea of states operating as test sites for social and
economic programs. In some ways, that's the opposite of how things
are operating now. For example, the federal government is clamping
down on California's state-legalized medical marijuana industry.
Does that look like a government system that is worth keeping?
If you want the rich to pay more taxes, there are two ways to do
it. One way is to use force, but that path leads to ruin or
gridlock because the rich have plenty of force of their own. The
other way is to change the system to make it worth the extra taxes.
I'll gladly pay 5% more in taxes in exchange for a better system of
government, under the theory that a better government will create a
better economy and give me a return on my investment.

Whole thing, including creepy capitalization of titles like
"Transitional Leader," here.
Previously at Reason, Kelsey Grammer slammed
the stimulus as benefiting "evildoers," and former editor
Virginia Postrel interviewed Scott Adams in a memorable, if not
quite ideologically coherent,
February 1999 Q&A. Excerpt from that:

Reason: How do you define yourself
politically?
Adams: I find that I do not align with any
well-established political viewpoint that has a name associated
with it. So I've called myself pro-death. I looked for what
commonality there is in all of my work and in all of my political
views and realized that I support abortion, capital punishment, and
a strong military. When I put together the things I'm in favor of,
the only thing they had in common was that they all ended up
killing someone, whether it was a fetus or a terrorist.
Reason: What's your idea of how government
should work?
Adams: I've always thought that, if I led the
world--and God help us all if that ever happened--that the first
thing I would do is make a list of what I considered the top
priorities. And I'd have a criterion for why they were the worst
problems. Probably on the top of my list would be something like
tobacco and cigarette smoking, because it kills people.
Reason: Smoking is at the top of your list of
the world's priorities?
Adams: Well, of the United States'. Maybe a
strong military is at the top of the list--but it seems to be under
control and nobody is attacking us. Anyway, I would have my top 10
problems and then I would bring together the experts. Let's say the
problem was what to do about teen smoking. I'd get 100 of them in a
room. Sixty of them say we should do this one thing, 40 of them say
to do this other thing. By and large, not knowing anything more
than these experts know, I'd go with the 60. I'd say, here's the
experts, here are their credentials, so this is my policy. You'd
never see that because it would never be politically viable to do
that. But I've always imagined that it was the most sensible form
of government.
