I can’t write anything. So I’m taking this time that i’m supposed to be writing and just typing some things out of my brain that are troubling me.
I rarely if ever end my blog posts with questions; it’s a pet peeve of mine to feel like not only did I read your work but now I have to take an exam about it. Anyway, I have too many pet peeves so whatever. I have a whole peeve zoo. A Peeve Kingdom. A Peeve Sanctuary.
So acknowledging my hypocrisy I’m just writing nothing but a bunch of existential questions. You can answer or not. We libertarians role that way.
1. Speaking of Libertarians, why does everyone think Ron Paul is Teh Crazy yet seem to have no problems with Mitt Romney and his belief that angels gave golden scriptures and magic hats to some conman in upstate New York as a way to start off a new religion where all men are gods and their wives are their Heaven Insurance Pets? Sounds like the crazy is going around if you ask me.
2. Also, why do people think Ron Paul is a Libertarian?
3. Why is Benedict Cumberbatch a sex symbol? I mean, I’d use him on a poster for the Library to get people to read more, because he’s intriguing and charismatic. But sexy? When I think sexy I think someone who doesn’t look quite so much like Lord Voldemort.
4. Why do I have a mini-meltdown whenever I don’t have something to read that matches my mood just exactly?
5. Why does the Ice Cream Man have to be so vaguely threatening? When I was a child with no money he just seemed like an unattainable dream. Now I feel like a conspirator if I go out to buy a bomb pop. “Here. Add this to your Child Abuduction Fund.”
6. I think my backyard is haunted by a man in a duster. Specifically, I think my backyard is haunted by Withnail. Is that weird? I keep seeing Withnail out of the corner of my eye when I’m at my desk working. Like he’s trying to get in the backdoor. Of the house.
7. Huh. I’m just now realising that Withnail looks like Cumberbatch. Maybe it’s a theme. Weird skinny British spooky men. Why did I not notice this until now?
8. The writers knew before this season of Eureka that they were being cancelled. So why are they wasting their precious last few hours on dreck? Honestly, why?
9. Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Rudy Huxtable…what happened?
10. When will the world shut up about bacon?? I mean, honestly. It’s an okay food. But everyone is acting like bacon is the Great In-Joke. It’s not THAT fabulous. In fact, it’s rather disgusting when you think about it. I’m so just going to go around saying “I just don’t dig on swine, that’s all.”
Just Another Pretty Farce 
Bacon has become one of those maligned “cool” foods that fits into the paradigm of “all men are really stupid, especially if you put bacon in front of them”. But that was too serious. My initial reaction to this series of questions was to say something dumb like “you go girl!” as though you were a soul sister about to join Jenny Craig with me.
1. I think they are both screwballs.
2. No idea. Because he says he is? Because they don’t really want to think too carefully about it?
3. No idea. Not feeling it.
4. It’s a widely shared malady. My brain locks and I feel like I’ve eaten an itchy shirt.
5. I’ll answer your question with a question: why does the ice cream truck in my (mostly African, Jamaican, and African-American) neighborhood play the greatest hits of Stephen Foster?
6. Yes, this is weird. Try to get an autograph.
7. It’s the Oxbridge sneer. Or the gratuitous tweed. (Now that I’ve typed that, I think Gratuitous Tweed should have been a Dickens character.)
8. Because they get paid anyhow?
9. Not sure. Time and alcohol, I think.
10. Bacon — when fat is taboo and the pleasure police are regulating the heck out of gustatory desires, bacon is dangerous and sexy.
1. I think Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are crazy. Mostly (but not totally) for different reasons.
2. No clue. Follow up question; why to some self-professed libertarians get mad when you say he’s not?
3. People see him as a sex symbol? I dont’ know who he is but he’s not doing it for me. at. all.
4. Hmm.. I don’t have an answer or comment for this one…
5. I dunno, the Ice Cream Man goes down the street next to my house (I’m a corner house) at like 35 with his music playing. He’s not a child abductor, but I am beginning to think he’s bowling for kiddies.
6. That would scare the crap out of me.
7. The important thing is that you did in fact notice it. Or something like that.
8. Too busy posting resumes elsewhere?
9. One of these things is not like the other ones.
10. I don’t eat 4 legged critters so I don’t get it either. But I don’t think half the people talking about bacon get that excited about it either, but it’s just what’s in for the moment. Sorta like Chuck Norris.
^^ That’s dolphin, btw. WordPress has decided to arbitrarily give me one of 3 different usernames when I comment these days
He’s a Libertarian because he says he is, even though he isn’t. The corporate media is not interested in facts, just ratings.
I think the actor is hot. Different strokes……
1. Because we have a gentlepersons’ agreement not to poke too closely (at least in public) about the origins of each others’ religious foundational stories. Strictly speaking, none of them (including my own) can stand up to much skeptical scrutiny. But we have no such agreement about politicians’ ideas.
2. Because he ran for President as a libertarian once?
3. For the same reason people think Jeanne Moreau is sexy.
4. If you ever figure this out, you can make a fortune selling vaccines for the problem. I will be first in line.
5. I don’t share that feeling.
6. That is either really creepy or really cool.
7. I think Bridgett is onto something about the tweed.
8. Dunno.
9. Dunno, but I’m sorry about it.
10. Dunno, but I wish it was over.
You’re random thoughts are entertaining. I have not answers. Just another random question.
Who was the yahoo who cast Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort. Really? Why would you cover up that face? For the gentlemen in the audience, that would be like putting all kinds of silly unflattering makeup on Natalie Portman and calling her Queen Amygdala… Or Amidala. Whichever. Not cool.
