Really just looking for a woman who doesn’t take things too seriously, starting with boyfriend choice.

So according to Obama’s campaign, women are giant vaginas who don’t care about the last four years. Who is sexist again?

i hate when you go to get your gun cleaned and you have to admit to the guy that you were using it as a utensil to eat cake

An investment group is making an experimental city in Honduras that will have no taxes on income, capital gains, or sales. So it’s the ultra-libertarian colony Heinlein predicted, but instead of on the moon, it will be in South America which will probably make it a lot easier to work this.

Wasn’t the whole point of federalism that we could do experiments like this in individual states? But that’s long gone and now all the idiots in California who destroyed their states gets say in all the others. And now South America is going to become the better part of America because they’re actually willing to take chances. Anyway we could do some freedom experiments here? I doubt it; it would be considered too scary to have minimal laws and taxes. And that’s the problem: We’re too sissy for freedom anymore. Still, I guess I’ll work on making Idaho an ultra-libertarian safe-haven. We have lots of guns and potatoes; it’s a good start.

The Middle East is in chaos, Americans are murdered, and the economy continues to crumble, and Obama is going on The View after his fun time with Letterman. You ever get this feeling that the problems facing America just aren’t that interesting to Obama? I felt that way early on when everyone was complaining about unemployment and Obama responded by… working on a big new health care scheme. I mean, there’s no interesting solution to employment as it will always goes up and down, but Obama could create a big new government program that could change things forever! It’s the same with our problems in the Middle East — Obama can’t make a lasting legacy out of handling those, so they’re not of much concern to him. Because that’s the way it is with the left: They want to create vast new things that fundamentally transform our country and earns them a place in the history books. Solving day to day problems just isn’t a part of that. So why worry about little things like debt and jobs when he can go on friendly TV shows and be loved?

We really should consider changing the presidency to the way I describe it in my book. He should be this guy we never see or hear from except when we have enemies to crush. For some reason we have it in our head that the president is the leader of the country when his real function is closer to janitor than CEO. He’s just supposed to handle the problems we don’t have time for while we get about transforming this country and making it great. And for that job, we don’t need to see him on TV at all.

what hope is there for freedom in cultures that don’t necessarily reject freedom of speech, but can’t even conceive of it?
[…]
the typical Egyptian protestor is as unswayed by discussions of the range of acceptable free speech as a badger would be impressed by your algebra homework

I recommend the whole thing.
