The Morning Rant

"You know the idiot who shot up that school in Florida last week? He broke the law. In fact, he broke a bunch of laws. This is why he is called a "criminal". Criminals break laws. They do not abide by them. So, in the wake of the shootings, why do people, politicians mainly, want to pass more laws? What do they think they're accomplishing? Is the next psycho who gets ahold of a gun suddenly going to put it back down and say whoa, wait, I can't shoot up a bunch of kids because that would be against the law? That's not how criminals think. Because criminals are, by definition, law-breakers. So they will break the new law just like they've broken the other laws that are already on the books. Come on, this isn't rocket science."

Boys Will Be, Uh, "Boys"

Collusion

Here's a fun article about the National Laughingstock. No, not that National Laughingstock. I mean the national laughingstock, the one that calls itself the Libertarian Party:

The Libertarian Party is as ineffectual as it's ever been and has even managed to regress some...An enclave of stoners, sex hounds, basement-dwellers, pagan ritualists, amateur philosophers, goldbugs, and crypto-currency enthusiasts isn't fit to run a laundromat, let alone a country.

Heh.

I've saved this comment from Trimegestus, who beautifully describes the bifurcated nature of the Libertarian Party:

50 There are really two entirely distinct Libertarian parties, that just happen to use the same name and mailing address.

The first is the Guns Libertarian Party, which believes in the Bill of Rights, Separation of Powers, local autonomy, limited government, private enterprise, and personal freedom.

The second is the Weed Libertarian Party, which believes in legalized weed, polyamory, and maybe internet porn.

The last couple of election cycles have revealed the depressing truth that a lot of people we thought were Guns Libertarians were actually Weed Libertarians.

How Did It Get So Dusty In Here?

My youngest has had my old phone for a couple of years. Just for games, which I download for her before disconnecting the internet. Still has my old contacts though & it turns out she’s been messaging my dad, who died 5 years ago. I may have something in my eye. pic.twitter.com/RZ5ZTgGbnk
