Heard about that one this morning.  Awful.

They had their shelters set up, the whole works.  Looks like when the wind changed, they didn't even have time to get that far.

You stay classy, Phoenix.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Do they even know what they want to impeach him FOR? Or is it just for being half-black?

[Cain]

For being a half-black Kenyan Muslim usurper.  Obviously.

Also something something Obama organized Benghazi something something Bill Ayers something.

I'm telling you, it's all the solar radiation around here. People aren't this dumb without an explanation.

Arizona is the retirement center for po'buckers.

What did you think was going to happen?

Also, I love that the Arizona teabagger is a pony-tailed dude in sandals.

They would confuse the SHIT out of Portland if they came here... although, come to think of it, I think the crossover between "hippie" and "Libertarian" is QUITE HIGH.

Oh shit, epiphany; Libertarians are hippies!

[Cain]

They are.  Quite often literally.

A lot of libertarian rhetoric is designed to appeal to social libertarianism (so, hippies), while selling economic libertarianism.

Hippies don't have any money so how can hippies buy economic libertarianism?

They don't have money because The Man is keeping them down with his cheap-ass honkey Keynesianism.

It's a pretty explicit strategy by the larger libertarian groups.

And it makes a good deal of sense.  Hippies and libertarians generally agree on social issues to a large extent, and on foreign policy.  The main difference is economics, with most hippies coming from a heterodox socialist or anarchist background.  So it's simply a matter of showing how "true capitalism", as opposed to corrupted, insider-dealing, statist backed Actually Existing Capitalism is a revolutionary advance capable of meeting the utopian goals many hippies have.
