Weblog Entry - 12/16/2004: "Let Us Have Some Fun!"

Let Us Have Some Fun!

It is about time. The sad state of affairs resulting from the presence of the state requires a regular dose of entertainment and amusement to keep our health going. So many good authors on this site and elsewhere (I picked two from elsewhere this time) concoct the right medicine for our enlightenment and enjoyment. The medicine most often makes us smile or laugh, but sometimes the subject does not allow for laughs, we have to get our satisfaction out of the good writing, the amazing story or the mere contemplation of the scandals reported.

A major addition

Another whole book has been added to this site today, an excellent German translation of the famous "The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible: A Free Market Odyssey" by Ken Schoolland. I think this fits very well both the requirement of great enlightenment and gripping entertaining reading. The book so far has been published in 30 languages. This German translation of 1995 was made by Stephan Kopp who also published it in print in 1998, but as soon as a few copies were sold, the publisher disappeared, simply really dropping off the face of the Earth. Some Libertarians tell that he told his close friends that he was pulling a John Galt disappearance. Maybe anyone can tell us more. Considering that the newest 2001 English commentary edition of JG is four times the length of this early edition, we should consider the German edition a sampler of the book. We welcome anyone who would be interested in publishing this in German. Here is the German online version: Die Abenteuer des Jonathan Gullible.

Man paid $20,000 support for non-existent child

This is no joke. So nothing to laugh really. As said above, you can only get your kicks out of the amazement at such supreme self-confidence of some women encouraged by the state. One would rather wish the same chutzpah against the state in general instead of using it. In this week's column Agency Culpable in Child Support Scam Wendy McElroy analyses, with her usual brilliant style and reasoning, an extraordinary case (but actually only a particularly big protuberance of a state-produced mycelium). So have fun, if possible, with your mouth gaping and your eyes wide open. More endearing women mentioned further below...

A partridge in a pear tree

Well, we are close to Christmas, which for some, sad to say, is no laughing matter. But Jonathan David Morris in this week's column Pennsylvania: Come for the Sights, Stay for the… Milk? is very very funny and makes us laugh, at the expense of the state. That's a good boy!

You will learn about the middle finger, the common weal, communism, traffic (in NJ and PA, as you will have guessed), that favourite high symbolism of his for politics, and a lot about curious birds, of which the United States offer so many, from jail birds to state birds.

And there are fossils. The state is unfortunately not yet among them.

For bird watching trust JDM or the endearing women mentioned further below...

Shoes, shoes, shoes

From Germany came "Manitou's Shoe" (that's truly in the laughing department), on this site we have JDM's Persecution at the Shoe Store and my Terrorism in the Shoe and now I recommend (not on this site unfortunately) Garry Reed's "Future Regulators of America" containing the "Mandatory Shoe Policy Designed to 'Last'". Since Garry Reed's loose cannon is accustomed to shooting more than one bullet in the endeavour of chipping away at the monster state, I take the opportunity to recommend another funny column: Invasion of the Privacy Snatchers. Quote:

The National Government Paper-Pusher’s Mandatory Mental Colonoscopy

1. When did you decide to become a scum-sucking bureaucrat?

a. When I discovered my own incompetence
b. The first time I was startled by my own shadow
c. When I outgrew my stroller
d. When Mummy weaned me from her breast

Bush's balls exposed for what they are

Let's talk French to finally get to the announced endearing women, ces néoconnasses et leurs néoconneries. They are turned on by Bush's balls, that's what made them reelect the incumbent. "He's Got Two of 'Em." Unless this means two dicks, thus beating the Democrat before him and allowing for twin Monicas. Read all about it in Ilana Mercer's latest firework column Lethal Weapons: Neocon Groupies. Every word in it is quotable, if I except those that Google would omit in searches or that the University of Chicago Press's Manual of Style would expect you to not capitalize in the title of works. So I won't quote anything, but please read it. You will thank me, chuckling all the way at the erotico-political language, for having kept the promise of my heading "Let Us Have Some Fun!" ~ now you can make bets on whether they are shaved or tattooed or whatever... :-)
