Anonypalooza
I can see by the unforgiving clock on the wall that a new post is not in the offing. So, the best we can manage is a tweet or two. Meanwhile, an open thread, the difference being that ONLY anonymous commenters may participate. Everyone is free to chime in, so long as we don't know your identity -- you know, like a masquerade ball.

I don't get it.
Two questions:
1)How can I be simultaneously pro-choice and a vegetarian?
2)How do you sign in anonymously?
You know what Jack Burton says at a time like this.
uhm... I don't know how to be anonymous, do I?
Well look at that!
I wonder if I could argue with myself?
Don't you usually?
Somehow I feel more constrained by being anonymous. And our aninnys like this? meh.
For anyone who likes to subscribe to comments, you can do it on a mobile device without signing in. In case you might want to do that.
If zombies apocalypse become real, will libertarians allow for spontaneous order to flourish?
Sure - trouble is, the order that will be established will start to look more and more like tribal warfare.
I've just GOT to be meeee!
Ya, but you won't have to fight City Hall anymore! 'course you will have to fight everyone else, but, you'll be at liberty to go so!
Do there's that....
SO there's that.
Damn phones.
9:53 Anon:
Haven't ya heard?
It's the Wild West.
I don't like zombies. I like libertarians even less so.
OK, so we all know Obamacare is the worst thing ever, a massive state intervention in economy and society that can't work and tromps all over our freedom.
So how is it that the Catholic Church has supported universal healthcare since 1919?
""The state," the guide read, "should make comprehensive provision for insurance against illness, invalidity, unemployment, and old age."
The Catholic Church is perfect, especially when it delves into things of the world!
Because the church is totally infallible when it comes to telling states how they should run their economies.
(oops. That wasn't me.)
Psst: Julie, you too.
(Not that this is me responding to you)
I don't know what you're talking about.
(Thank goodness for the delete button...)
No fair lifting your masks. Now I'm coming for you all.
Why can't I do anything right?! Wait, that's not me. It's the church's fault!

Duh. For the same reason they've been promoting Distributism as an economic policy since the 1800's: They're wrong.
Yes, handy dandy little button.

He don't have no mind parasites. He's special. And a meanie.
Uh oh, does somebody need a waaaahmbulance?
anonny anon said "does somebody need a waaaahmbulance?"
Yes. And turn the siren on. Loud. And go Fassst!!!. Heh, that'll be cool.
Heh-heh. Heh. That was kewlll
Gruber's two speak-o's are pretty damning as to intent.
I'd side with Scalia, Alito, Thomas, and Kennedy, but the NSA doesn't have pictures of them in a hot-tub threesome with Michelle Obama and a gorilla.
Q: What's the difference between Michelle Obama and a gorilla?
A: A 55-gallon drum of Nair.
Universal health care has existed in the United States for a long, long time. The EMTALA of 1986 enshrined it.
Universal health insurance is a different thing all together.
...comprehensive provision for insurance against illness, invalidity, unemployment, and old age
That doesn't even make sense. How do you insure "against" old age?
"I hope I die before I get old" -- oops
Protochristianity is not a bug, but a feature.
Not needing to evolve in space, just waiting for the time.
Badges, and rules, please. Things were done, maybe write that down, or scratch in the dirt.
It is not so much as being on the same page, it is respecting the margins.
They say those differintial equations are hard to suss.
Heh, that would like being in a whirlwind, and being OK at the times.
Okee-didly-dokee!
That's gotta be a bot. Yet, no link to handbags or machine tools.
Not even an offer of Tramadol. Maybe it's a demonstration of the effects?
FAIL!
We need another song about imagination
I thought I'd be able to tell who's who!
Dig the tune - makes me want to kick up my heels and dance. Wouldn't call it Christian music, but that's how Christian music oughta be - just good music.
@ 04:00 anonymous, well, the troll is pretty obvious. Everyone else is almost anyone's guess. All I know is, they weren't all me.
Try this then.
Shut up you knuckleheads!
Badges, and rules, please.
Do I even have to say it?
We don't need no stinking badges!
Oh, come on. You guys have to know who Roger Daltrey is.
If that protochristianity thing is a The Who reference, it done flew right over my head.
Anon said "You guys have to know who Roger Daltrey is"
Sure, he's a substitute for another guy.
Sacrilege! Rest assured, there is indeed beer in Heaven!
The clouds are made from the suds.
I have no idea who I am!
Meanwhile, Atlantic City is crumbling.
Does nobody care that the Vegas of the East is dying?
I'm always pseudonymous, so this really isn't much of a stretch.
Stop peeing on me. And I am not talking to just the dogs!

You realize that Social Security is basically a forced transfer of money from children to their parents, right?
I mean when my sisters and I pay social security tax and our father gets a check, it kind of looks that way.
After reading these posts, sometimes I wish God was not dead.
If God is dead, then there truly is no beer in heaven.
I mean when my sisters and I pay social security tax and our father gets a check, it kind of looks that way.
Did that stop your father from getting old?
Hint: The against part is the joke.
Did your father not know that he was going to get old?
You don't have to insure yourself for something you know is going to happen at a given, known time and can plan for. Retirement is such an event.
I have been paying into SS (how appropriate) longer than you have likely been alive. If they shut it down tomorrow and never pay me a dime, I will still get checks every month when I retire because I knew I was going to die or get old.
Oy.
When you have to explain it, it stops being funny.
Actually, for those of us who got it in the first place, it's still funny, but now the yokes on one of you. Or me. I'm so confused.
After reading these posts, I sometimes wish Nietzsche weren't dead.

My point is that you are insuring against your children not supporting you in your old age.
And the joke is that he doesn't actually need his social security check.
So, I assume that I will get a refund at some point in the indefinite future.
I do get a partial refund periodically.
It's not much, but it's still something.
My point here, Dude, is that there's no reason...

Now that's funny.
"My point here, Dude, is that there's no reason..."
For filial responsibility laws?
"Filial responsibility laws (filial support laws, filial piety laws) are laws that impose a duty upon third parties, usually (but not always) adult children for the support of their impoverished parents or other relatives.[1] In some cases the duty is extended to other relatives. Such laws may be enforced by governmental or private entities and may be at the state or national level. While most fillial responsibility laws contemplate civil enforcement, some include criminal penalties for adult children or close relatives who fail to provide for family members when challenged to do so. The key concept is impoverished, as there is no requirement that the parent be aged."
States with these laws:
"Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.
In addition, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico also has filial responsibility laws."
