See, this is why I won’t subscribe to Ron Paul newsletters
By Thoreau
I don’t know if you’ve been following the story of the ricin contamination in Nevada, but police are now saying that an “anarchist type textbook” was found in the same hotel room as the ricin contamination.
Great, now they’ll decide that we libertarians fit the profile of chemical terrorists, or something.

I wonder what sort of font could be considered “anarchist type”.

Wingdings, of course.

I find the juxtaposition of “anarchist” and “textbook” sort of amusing. We believe in nossing, Lebowski, nossing.

It’s gotta be the Anarchist Cookbook, right?

I was going to write an anarchist cookbook. Add some eggs. Or don’t. And some chicken. Or tofu. Or peppers. With a pot. Or not. However you want! Enjoy. Or don’t! It’s up to you.

Is that why there was no Foodie Friday this week?

Anachism is not the definition of libertarian. They are two separate political movements.
Please do not confuse the two.

DONDEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
In the eyes of a fed looking for somebody to profile, anarchists and libertarians are close enough that anybody subscribing to a radical newsletter is suspect.
Of course, I’m not a REAL libertarian because I’ve never stood in 40 below weather handing out fliers before going to Tijuana and getting into trouble with a brothel owner.

If you don’t stand for something you’ll stand for anything. Who cares. What makes me laugh is that Americans actually believe their opinions/views on issues really matter. We have no say in anything. That is all. End of story. It’s foolish to think that we do.

Since 1978, ricin terrorism seems strongly correlated with ineptness and futility.
These are my homies:
Wheeler still lives around here.

Somewhere I have the PowerPoint handouts the mighty and non-terrorist State of Texas gave me when worked for TxDOT and had to take “Hazardous Materials Training.” (I occasionally might have to change a toner cartridge or something, and copier toner qualifies as a hazardous chemical, especially to non-Goths who wear something other than black.) Anyway, said documents include a list of common chemicals that can be lethal in combination with other common household stuff, listed together for easy reference. If for some reason I got arrested and they found my yellowing notes from that class, would I be a terrorist?

Liberalism and “Islamofascism,” on the other hand, are precisely identical in form and detail.
