ZARDOZ SPEAKS TO YOU, HIS CHOSEN ONES. IT HAS COME TO ZARDOZ’S ATTENTION THAT THE CHOSEN ONES HAVE FALLEN BACK INTO THEIR LINK IGNORING WAYS. SO BE IT. THEREFOR, ZARDOZ WILL INSTEAD PROVIDE ADVICE – BETTER THAN THAT OF THE BRUTAL “DEAR ABBY“… BEHOLD!
Q: My co-worker and supposed friend asked if she could borrow my wedding dress because she thought it was so beautiful. I was thrilled to lend it to her and paid for the alterations ($200 plus) as her wedding present. I accompanied her to her fittings and helped her plan her wedding for approximately 100 friends and family.
The kicker: My husband and I were not invited to the wedding, and when she returned my gown, it had lipstick on it and cake down the front. It wasn’t even in a bag — she just handed it to me. What should I think about this? — FLABBERGASTED IN FLORIDA

NICE WORK, ZED.
SOME FRIEND, EH? THUS, YOU SHOULD DO WHAT ZARDOZ FAILED TO DO – CLEANSE YOUR DRESS MESSING CO-WORKER AND SELL HER ORGANS TO RECOUP YOUR CLEANING BILL. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Q: My mother-in-law owns the building my husband and I live in. I moved in with him about a year ago, before we were married. Because she owns the building, she doesn’t charge her son rent to live there but asks that he help manage the building, which takes about three hours a month. (He has a full-time job outside of managing the building.)
When I moved in, his mom asked that I pay rent. I guess in the back of my mind I thought it would change after we got married. Do you think I’m a brat for thinking I shouldn’t have to pay rent? The amount she’s charging me is about what I would pay if we lived in another building and split the rent between us.
I don’t know how to approach this, or if I’d be stepping out of line to request living somewhere rent-free. Please help. — RENT-FREE IN CALIFORNIA

Q: My “friend” from childhood, “Camille,” has never had my back. I have done the heavy lifting in our friendship our whole lives.
While I was on vacation two years ago, she was diagnosed with cancer. I came home immediately and drove to the hospital at 1 a.m. to be by her side. I’ve always been by Camille’s side for everything, even though she hasn’t been there for me. I told her that several times, to no avail.
I went to every chemo and doctor appointment, and was there every day to rub her feet to make her feel better. I threw her a party for 100 people to “kick cancer’s butt,” took her on a vacation — it goes on and on.
I ended the one-sided friendship last year. My problem is, I feel guilty for doing it. I feel I left her with cancer. But I also feel that because someone is sick doesn’t give them the right to be abusive or inconsiderate. Camille hasn’t tried to contact me, either. In fact, she has told others that she will never speak to me again.
I bent over backward for her, but if some other person sent a card, she would make a big deal out of it. I’m deeply hurt and don’t know how to move on. Help! — WOUNDED ON THE EAST COAST
A: ZARDOZ IS LEFT SHAKING HIS STONE HEAD AT YOU, BRUTAL. YOU ARE MORE SERVILE THAN A GRAIN SLAVE OF THE VORTEX. ZARDOZ WOULD SEND THE BRUTAL EXTERMINATORS FOR YOU, BUT THAT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME AND RESOURCES. THEREFOR, YOU MUST DO THE ONLY HONORABLE THING REMAINING. GO FIND YOUR FORMER “FRIEND” ON THE PRETENSE OF WISHING TO PATCH THINGS UP. AT THIS POINT SHE SHOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL AT SOME TIME. GO TO HER ROOM AND SMOTHER HER WITH A PILLOW. THEN YOU MUST FIND HER MEDICATIONS AND CLEANSE YOURSELF VIA OVERDOSE. THIS WAY THE WORLD IS RID OF TWO MORE WORTHLESS BRUTALS. ZARDOZ HAS SPOKEN.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride!
CLEANSE HER!
Now hit my mother-f’in Theme Music !
Thanks. Spotifying the shit out of this.
Zardoz has no need for a wedding dress. The penis is evil. That is all.
The penis not evil.
The penis mighter.
They say that “the pen is mightier than the sword”. However, vagina typically beats them both.
Why do I get the feeling we’re not being told the whole story here?
Yeah, kinda like “did Camille ask you to do all that shit for her”?
The lady in scenario 2 really meeds to make her husband move to a new place. A place of their own. Otherwiise, they’ll always be under the thumb of Mommy.
I love my mom, but she didn’t raise me to be a momma’s boy. The dude in scenario 2 is a momma’s boy.
The Mating Season
Thanks for the recommendation. Added to watchlist.
Not currently available on Amazon, and I don’t know if it’s on legitimate DVD at all.
Miriam Hopkins is TCM’s star on Thursday, but they’re not showing this one.
Added it to Amazon watchlist. Even though it’s not available, it seems like if enough search inquiries/adds reaches critical mass, it shows up. Usually in Prime. Give the people what they want, right?
Thelma Ritter is another one of those seriously underrated actresses. She got a bunch of great lines in Rear Window, and she’s tremendous in Pickup on South Street.
The Misfits, bruh.
Yeah, any scenario where you’re mixing friends/family and business is bound to go off the rails. I noticed elements of this in stories 1 and 2.
They’re already doomed. If hubby was aware of reality, he would have known immediately that they needed to get a place of their own as soon as they wed.
Momma’s boy. No hope for it. Neither party (mom or son) wants to fix it. Wife is seen as the interloper. He might as well divorce/annul and figure out if he wants to sleep with mom or get a boyfriend so there isn’t a female closer to him than Mom is.

Oedipus Rekt.
It’s a real thing. Seems to happen most often when a woman has only one child (a male) or has only male children. She cannot freaking stand for another woman to be closer to her sons than she is. Truly effed up behavior.
I have two stepsons, and my entire goal was to raise them to be happy, functional adults. Their mom is the type that wants them to be tied to her financially and emotionally for life. She fits the mold of the “sons only” thing i’d observed many times before.
Yes, there is quite a lot of that stuff here, too. Pathetic.
Sadly, my mother was the other woman in my grandmother’s life. When I hit puberty, I was the other other woman. I can’t count how many ways she tried to peel my dad off our family and get him to go back home to live.
My dad balanced it all the best that he could but he never really seemed to understand what was going on, and when he was told straight up, he couldn’t believe HIS mother would do such things.
I swore I would never marry a man whose mother was bound and determined to run me off.
“I swore I would never marry a man whose mother was bound and determined to run me off.”
Made that mistake my first marriage, which lasted barely over a year. Last I heard, he hasn’t remarried. She “wins” i guess, although that denying a child a happy adult partnership is a strange sort of victory.
Dear Mrs. Norman Bates,
Get the hell out before it’s too late!
My “friend” from childhood, “Camille,” has never had my back. I have done the heavy lifting in our friendship our whole lives.

Wife and I watched SALT with Angelina Jolie this afternoon. Outside of the implausibilities it was pretty decent. Also Would.
Plot reminded me of No Way Out with Costner and Hackman which was a better movie.
What about The Big Clock?
I am glad not to be the only one who enjoyed No Way Out.
Linda Darnell was excellent.
Lolz. Might have to look into that.
“I was scheduled to retrieve my belongings from an apartment where I had been previously staying while working together with [Charlie Boy] Director Timothy Hines and Producer Dominick Martini,” Young said. “I was expected and had confirmed my expected arrival with the building’s owner. When I arrived nobody was there to receive me but the door was unlocked and I assumed it had been left open so that I could pick up my belongings.”
https://people.com/crime/sean-young-burglary-new-york-city-film-office/amp/
I like No Way Out too. It’s a fun film.
Also Would.
Meh. The last time I found her attractive was in Tomb Raider.
Jolie was offered a chance to be the next Bond girl. She replied she wanted to be the next Bond.
SALT was filmed right after she had a baby. This was her getting back into the swing of things and taking a swipe at being Bond.
Dear Zardoz,
I wrote a piece for this fine site and ran it past my brother last night. He’s a shitlord, too. His reaction was, “Dude, you can’t say that kind of shit online.” Admittedly, it’s beyond offensive even by my standards. Any advice?
Tiddy Ogler at Nagano Rest Stop
There are things that are too offensive for us Glibs?
Most politicians would fall under that banner.
SP has vetoed me on two things. One was a Jewsday featuring Christian baby recipes, the other was a politician suicide story from Holland where someone’s name strongly suggested a bad joke. “Too soon” is not in my vocabulary.
Sounda like we need a Glibertarians Holiday Special.
Halloween “Anything Goes” posts.
Can you eat Christian babies? I mean, is long pig as verboten as regular pig?
Mitteleuropeans are quite convinced that (((we))) can.
I have survived the Ren Faire. No alcohol is served there (due to… issues in years past), but lots of terrible (for you, not tasting) food and lots of crafts and shows. On the way home we stopped at a distillery and a winery with a brewery, so the house is well stocked with alcohol now.
One stand was selling some slick mugs made out of horn for $55, but I don’t need more drinking vessels. I had to tell myself that each time I walked by the booth.
“due to… issues in years past”
Please tell me there was a sword involved.
“LARPers Gone Wild”
Never been to one? Fun?
There’s lots of people walking around doing improv, there’s shows (usually fire eating, magic, singing, dancing, etc.), fried foods, smoked turkey legs, jousting, animals to ride, and lots of dragon/unicorn/viking craft cruft to purchase.
The sword incident is why they no longer allow live blades to be carried or sold in the Faire. The first couple of years, they allowed people to carry (peace tied) and sell weapons to be carried on the grounds. One patron was “overserved” and decided to pull out his newly purchased sword and challenge one of the show performers to a duel while he was trying to get a bite to eat. From what I heard, the performer talked him down for a bit before some other patrons tackled the challenger.
They still had their beer/wine license for several years beyond that point. It took a couple other complaints and issues for them to lose that.
There’s always that one guy that ruins it for everyone
The beer/wine license was really due to the people running the Faire and the neighbors. The Faire’s been running for over 20 years now (I worked a year of it back when I was 18), but the locals still complain about the added traffic, and the Faire bringing the “wrong kinds of people” in. The ones running the alcohol sales weren’t carding people and would fill up any mug you brought. So there were people bringing giant liter mugs getting them filled for the price of a pint, and when you get the reputation for cheap beer and wine, you attract a clientele that will take advantage of cheap beer and wine. Then for a couple years after they lost their license, they were allowing people to bring in their own alcohol, which just led to more issues.
That’s more than one guy ruining it. Shame.
Ruins? That guy is a hero.
His name is Florida Man.
PA ren fair is at a winery/brewery. *points and laughs at Nephilium*
This one is fairly large: Great Lakes Medieval Fair and there’s a good half dozen wineries around, a distillery, and a brewery (part of one of the wineries). It’s been a couple years since I’ve last gone, the last time I took one of my nephews he got bored about an hour after we got there. This year, both of the nephews complained to me that I used to take their sister to it all the time, so we went again. This year they lasted about four hours (and my sister came and paid for their stuff).
Probably a bit of a drive for you, but it is quite the production: http://www.parenfaire.com/faire.html
Yeah, that’s about five and a half hours away by car. And I’ve already got one road trip (Canal Winchester, OH) and one vacation (Denver, CO) planned in the next couple of months.
“No alcohol is served there…”
Well, hell, what’s the point then?
Since “Jugsy” the girlfriend is a mere baby at the age of 34, she’s never been exposed to the finer works of Redford and Newman in ‘The Sting’.

Dear ZARDOZ I find I spill my white wine spritzer when mounting my pizza float to rid myself of tan lines. How should I overcome this unnecessary waste of alcohol?
..fill the pool with white wine.
Duh.
https://youtu.be/Fx2G28nc_QA
And you can use it for self-defense too!
It is not so much the glass, but the action of a drunk man mounting the float. I need harnesses, overhead attachment points and remote control to lower me to the optimal tanning position without blocking the sun which is not going to happen, so I will spill my Franzia.
Vietnamese spin fuck chair configured for an aquatic environment.
Solved.
Grow a pair and drink whiskey?
*ding ding ding*
I just started doing that. Eagle Rare.
Nostalgia night here; I’ve got a shot of white corn whiskey at my elbow. Not home-made stuff; this is factory likker, George Dickel White Corn Whiskey #1. Mind you when it comes to corn squeezins, even the good stuff is kind of tough; the old home-brew we used to buy back in the day was like swallowing razor blades.
I’m amazed I lived to be twenty. I really am.
The Eagle Rare is surprisingly good for the low price. I went with some Woodford Reserve, and am now on home made orange sangria. But I did have an interesting bite with my bourbon, Chocolate truffles the girlfriend and I brought back from Louisville, and I just opened the package of Majestic Truffles (made with Eagle Rare).
Yeah, for a $35 dollar bottle of bourbon, it’s damn good. Pretty much everything made by Buffalo Trace is good.
It’s been a while since I’ve had it on the shelf, but I think it’s only ~$25 here, which makes it an even better buy. I need to hold off on buying more bourbon until I kill off some of the bottles I already have on the shelf. There’s one that’s bad that I need to kill some night after heavy drinking.
Buffalo Trace is $29 here. Where do you live?
$28 at BevMo.
Ohio. Looks like the Single Barrel has been removed from our options to purchase though.
Are you talking about the 17 year old Eagle Rare? I have not seen a bottle of that in 10 years and it’s very expensive now. It’s almost impossible to even buy Blantons anymore. The last time I saw it, they had 3 bottles and I just bought them all. The guy checking me out was sad and said ‘I didn’t even know we had it’ and I said ‘Maybe you should paid attention, because it’s too late now’. That being said, this Eagle Rare is excellent for anything user $60, period.
No, just the Single Barrel. It appears we can still get the 17 year old through a special order, but that will run $100 retail. Blanton is also listed as a special order at $55 a bottle. The link I had includes all of the liquor options available to us due to the state controlling the liquor availability, but at least they make it searchable.
I would give you $55 a bottle for all of the Blantons that you can buy.
Hyperion: I’ll check to see if any of the liquor stores around me have any on the shelf or if they can order it for me. Hit me up at my handle at Google’s mail, and I’ll let you knwo what prices I see, and can estimate shipping for you.
Larceny for $27. McKenna 10 y/o Bottled in Bond for $32. You will thank me for it.
Sipping a Smirnoff and Perrier with a twist of lemon. We’re gonna head out to a whiskey bar after dinner. I’m taking notes.
I love Vodka, maybe the best alcohol buzz ever. I like Tito’s though for a go to vodka.
Look for Rain Organics. It’s about $20 and comes from Buffalo Trace distillery.
???
Tito’s is a great base vodka for mixing. I will say if you want a flavored vodka, go Deep Eddy. Their Ruby Red Vodka is fucking awesome, as long as you remember to shake it before pouring. They use real grapefruit, and the oils can separate.
Ordered the Eagle Rare 10 yo, neat
New bar.Makers neat.
New bar. Wild Turkey neat.
My sweet Lucy cat got outside 6 days ago and never returned. I fear there is a pile of coyote poop with a microchip out there in Hidden Meadows proclaiming its name is Lucy.
I hate those vermin. They’re very invasive into suburbs thanks to the fires.
Welcome to Cali
…and good luck Lucy!
Aw, sorry 🙁
That happened a couple times when I was a kid and both times they came back pregnant.
Godspeed, Lucy!
Never nice to lose a feline friend. Or canine. And yes, coyotes despite being canine are vermin. Hope she miraculously returns home.
Don’t worry yet, I had my 7 year old yellow tabby disappear once for 6 months. I mean it wasn’t unusual to have him disappear for a few days, but not for months. I just took it for granted he was dead after a few weeks. I just got back from a business trip one evening and was in the kitchen cleaning up some. I thought I heard something and turned off the running water in the sink. Yeah, that’s a meow for sure. Someone’s cat is outside. Then it got louder and I noted it’s coming from near the patio doors in the dining room. Walked over there and I could not believe it, there is that missing little bastard looking up at me. Opened the door and he just walked in like he owned the place, fat and sassy as ever.
Oh, and I should add, it was not unusual for me to see 2 or even 3 coyotes on the same deck I let the cat in from.
sorry 🙁
Oh I am so sorry.
Sorry.
Thanks, all, for the kind words. I’ll let you know if she reappears. She’s microchipped, and the San Diego human society assures me they always check.
Yes, please update us.
I’m sorry. I hope she returns.
Who else thinks the SEATAC plane theft was a hold my beer moment? I kind of have respect. Sort of.
The person was an airport employee so I hear. If the person was in airport security, he? would have access to the tarmac. So if he knew how to fly a plane, which he obviously did, then there’s a chance. I just wonder, don’t they lock those things? Maybe he was some sort of technician or something and was able to get access? Sounds like the plan was suicide, which I also do not get. I mean unless you are a loner who has no family or anyone who cares about you, that has to be the worst thing you could ever do.
According to the latest info, he was a ramp agent for the airline and had unrestricted access to the aircraft as part of his duties. He was 29, which seems to be a prime suicide age for males.
If, as a male, he had a college education, and it a white male, it would probably ramp up his suicide tendencies a great deal. Why would anyone want to live in a world where they’ve had it drilled into their head that they are the problem?
YOLO!!

Nice one. TTB is definitely one of the best live acts out there right now. I always try to catch one or several of their shows whenever they are within a couple hundred miles.
I had a very memorable experience after a show at the Minnesoda Zoo on their first tour. The band was staying at our hotel and partying at the same bar as us next door. Ended up partying with them for about three or four hours at the bar and a hotel room. Me and Susan hit it off really well and did many Jameson shots together. She even dedicated a song to me at a show in Milwaukee a few nights later. All of the band members I met were exceptionally nice and friendly.
Two nice Les Paul’s.
So, I started listening to them and they seem good, but I need to know, is they woke? Are they resisting? I can’t listen to them unless I know their politics.
They are woke, to be sure. They have some “resistance” songs, but they aren’t overt and they don’t “preach” on stage.
Obama is a dickhole, but he does have great taste in music. Three of my favorite musicians performing at the White House:

I test drove a new WRX (2018) today. Overall I liked the car…but the 6 speed shifter seemed notchy and kinda meh. My girlfriend wasn’t a big fan of the seats or the ride quality. Anyone have one? I’m kind of in the fence on this one and looking for any experiences with the car.
I really like the way they look. One of my friends just bought a Crosstrek and really likes it. I mean, we’re talking SUV compared to a sports coupe or small sedan like that. But I guess Subaru has a really high rating for dependability. Is that a standard shift? The Hyundai Tuscon I drove a few weeks ago is a 6 speed automatic turbo and I love it. Again, talking SUV, but I’m probably going to buy one as soon as wife gets back from Europe. The car you’re looking at is fairly pricey so you should def look around first. But I do like the way they look, one of my neighbors has one.
Oh, she loved the Crosstrek and is strongly considering buying one for herself.
I’m replacing an A3. I’m finding it hard to find a comparable replacement.
How about a GTI unless you need AWD?
The guy is driving an Audi, I can’t see him being happy with anything less than that level, but that’s just my opinion.
I had a 2010 GTI. I liked it a lot, except for road noise on the highway. It felt very Audi “familiar.”
But yeah, comfort and convenience things are stuff you really get used to…
Road noise is a definite issue. And you have to get way up the food chain to get it really quality. We’re in extreme savings mode at this time because I want to retire in 10 years and my wife in 5. So we need to save. But we need new cars. I think we’re going with Hyundai because the value for what you get. I drove a Rav 4, Rogue, Mazda CX-5, and Honda HRV, and Tuscon, and the Tuscon was by far, to me, the quietest and best ride of them all. The CX-5 was funner to drive, but noisy and no way near as good a ride on rough pavement. Wife will probably get an Elantra. The Audis or BMWs are after retirement. But I envy you being able to drive an Audi, those are really great cars.
He’s replacing an A3…not a high standard.
Oh, a GTI is next on the list of test drives. That has a high probability of success.
They used to be built on the same platform as your A3 (I think, Audi yes but not sure A3). I’m not sure if that’s still the case but the feel should be similar but probably sportier. A friend has a 2017 GTI and he loves it.
“I’m replacing an A3. I’m finding it hard to find a comparable replacement.”
Another Audi or a BMW maybe. Otherwise, I think you are not going to be happy in that price range.
Replacing an Audi is always a wise (and inevitable) decision.
I usually swap them while still under warranty…though I had a 5000CD out of warranty that was great. (Looked just like the one in Ferris Bueller’s…)
My girlfriend wasn’t a big fan of the seats or the ride quality
I have a 2015 Civic SI. It’s no where near the performance level of a WRX but it is most likely a bit softer*. It still handles well and can be tossed about. And being a civic it is reliable and infinitely modifiable. The downside is fwd as opposed to awd. I would likely have bought a WRX if I could afford it.
*Which is something I am going to change asap as my last car had a modified, firm suspension setup that was still perfectly streetable. It was the best.
Also, Honda manual transmissions are light/crisp and they want to be abused.
Can’t talk to the WRX. I bought a 350Z in 2006 and I still have it. I bought the base model. Nothing flashy. Just a great car to drive. The seats are quite comfortable. I’ve also read great reviews of the Subaru BRZ (same basic car as the Toyota FRS).

I’d side with the Devil Himself over the House of Saud.
I take threats in order of locality. Do the Sauds pose a threat to us? Maybe, but not so much. Zoolander is a prog right on our border, so to me, he’s the much greater threat.
Except Zoolander doesn’t have a state-sponsored network of cronies operating throughout the US preaching “Death to America”.
Sure he does, it’s called Portland.
What happens in Portland sometimes stays in Portland.
We can all just wish that everything in Portland stays in Portland, but we see how’s that working in Cali.

Dear Zardoz,
I gave a movie recommendation in good faith to a dear friend of mine and then her husband made fun of the movie (and of me!) even though I told them the movie was merely “not bad.” Now he’s writing articles on glibertarians.com saying I have shitty taste in movies. My question is, what is the proper caliber to use while cleansing him?

Democratic Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney of New York did not hold back his disdain for President Donald Trump or his supporters when he called them “a**holes” and shouted that he does not “give a f***” what Trump fans say.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that he was responding to a question from a reporter at a townhall stop while on the campaign trail to become New York’s Attorney General. He was asked a question about a recent campaign ad where he called Trump fans “home invaders” and said he would use a baseball to defend himself against them.
“The baseball bat is about defending your home and your family when someone’s coming through the front door and you have nowhere to run,” he said, adding: “That’s not violence, that’s self-defense. That’s making a decision that you’re going to make a stand or go down swinging.”
When the reporter asked if Trump supporters might take issue with his harsh rhetoric, Maloney said he didn’t care.
“I don’t give a fuck what the Trump fans say,” he replied. “That’s not what this is about. This is about speaking from the heart. About a family I’ve built for 25 years that’s in the crosshairs of these a**holes. And doing something about it.”
Maloney continued: “It feels like the people who are fueled by hate, demagoguery and anger have their s*** together, and those of us who want to talk about love and hope and inclusion have been hiding in the shadows.”
Good. Let the hate flow through you.
He’s using the home defense as a metaphor, that’s a call to violence plain and simple.
He would love to include those assholes with the end of his baseball bat.
*SWOON*
Wasn’t there some crazy guy on TOS saying he would pay $10K?

Yeah, we talked about how uncomfortable hot Dora made us in the midday thread.
She’s just 16 years old. Leave her alone, they say.
Is she your Cherry Pie?
Winger would be more appropriate, as the actress is 17.
She is now, but she was sixteen at the time of the bikini shoot. So Benny Madrone and possibly the creepiest video this side of Rockit.
Nobody has a heart.
If anyone hasn’t seen the video of the Q400 doing a barrel roll

Wow, I certainly think he cut that one close enough…
This is the kind of video that spawns conspiracy theories. Why was that guy filming at that moment? Why did he pan to the right and pause just long enough for the F-35 to come into focus? Have you ever tried to video a plane that you don’t know what they’re doing? It’s fucking hard, but he gets not only the first plane but pans over and waits long enough that the F-35 just flies into view? Odd. I’M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS!
Has anyone else heard the recent rumor that the GOP wants to call a Constitutional Convention? I’d just ignore it, but Rand Paul is one of the supporters. One of the issues it that they want to greatly limit federal power and let states completely ignore any fed law they want to. It’s just one of those things that is too good to be true.
A Constitutional Convention would be just stupid at this point.
Agreed – those who wish to abolish fundamental protections have far more to gain.
It’s a trap!
Have not heard that. Talk radio chatted about about 10 years ago, but the talk then was that if it happened once the convention started it would be easier to add in things the GOP was against; but at that time I think they controlled way fewer state houses. And the way the GOP fucks things up it’ll be something like ‘A state can ignore any federal law that can’t prove a direct corollary in the constitution, unless the other guys call us bad names, then we’ll let them do whatever.”
I just sort of pay attention when Rand is for something, being that he is the best congress critter of my life time. Also, I have very fond thoughts of states being able to tell the fed gov to fuck off. I mean if you do that as on immigration, why can’t you do it on drugs, gun laws, etc?
Well, it’s a two way street, telling the feds to pound sand if they tighten gun laws might be cool for you, but another state telling the feds to pound sand and saying they’ll round up all gun owners and concentrate them in camps would bristle you a different way.
Racism at work, if you can hear the dog whistles.
