Attribute to L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

I was trying to take a nap a bit ago, and the phone kept making noise at me. First was a bunch of messages, but they were all from my son for the scout troop. Don’t know how I got on that list. Then there was a phone call; I don’t answer the phone when I’m in bed, doing that is just barbaric. Then after about an hour of napping, another message, this one from a grandson asking if I wanted some tacos from the taco place they were at after watching a cousin play football (with a bunch of other kids, I assume, or maybe he was playing one-man-football? Nah.) So now I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of some tacos. Hungry! [Later: Shrimp tacos!]

This week a story has been going around in the “news” about a robotic dog with a rifle attached. And therefrom arises much hilarity:

• Uh Oh, They Strapped a Sniper Rifle to a Robot Dog
• Robot Dogs Now Have Assault Rifles Mounted On Their Backs
• Yes, Robot Dogs Can Now Carry Sniper Rifles on Their Backs
• Experts Shocked by Military Robodog With Sniper Rifle Attachment
• How do you make a robot dog scarier? Add a semi-automatic rifle
• Ghost Robotics now makes a lethal robot dog
• Robot Murder Dog New Thing to Worry About as You Fall Asleep

 

But now for something actually important:

Ex-SpaceX Engineers Are Building a Cheap, Portable Nuclear Reactor

Just right to run the electric motors spinning the props on that flying Winnebago I expect to see Real Soon Now!

 

“Objectivity and Rigor”!?!?! Well who would have expected that!:

This Year’s Nobel Prize in Economics Is a Victory for Objectivity and Rigor

And some stuff to think about:

Remember the Battle of Lepanto

The problem with America’s semi-rich

Does a Medieval English Statute Supersede the Second Amendment?

But now, for something completely different. Or at least somewhat different?

 

 

I would make a u-turn

 

 

I was telling my son the other day,
it is hard to tell if I’m tired, sick, or just old

 

This is one rough neighborhood!

 

Yep, rough neighborhood!

 

 

 

Story of my life:

 

I was trying to explain WhataBurger
to my daughter the other day:

MENU BOX chchch Can I took yer order? chchch
ME Yeah, gimme a triple double
MENU BOXchchch Ya dont get that at a Ins-N-Outs! chchch
(No, one is not better than the other, they're both great!)

 

Stay DEPLORABLE my friends!
