I am sitting in an airport, waiting for shrift, watching Glee on Hulu, and torrenting Justified.

I do kind of like the future.

Is jealous of Dana.

Note to self: Libertarianism = freaky.

Well, there's Libertarian and Crazy Libertarian. The government should do less and tax less vs. there should be essentially no government and seem to think that basically everything would work the same without government only they wouldn't have to pay taxes anymore.

Sasha Volokh was arguing that taxation is inherently bad because it's a violation of people's rights, but if the lack of a tax would lead to a greater violation of people's rights (say, through rioting and looting) then taxing people to pay for police is the lesser of two evils.

And it looks like Sasha views a potential asteroid collision on Earth as not violating people's rights, therefor it's wrong for the government to tax people to try to prevent it.

edit for clarity

I am deeply disappointed to learn that that photo is a manip, because it means there will not be a corresponding scene in a future movie.

I am also disappointed to find that no one carries fleece-lined tights in plus sizes.

That sounds like somewhere between Libertarian and Crazy Libertarian where general welfare is considered off the table. Maybe this is a case of philosophy vs. bullshit philosophy: the studying of problems and principles vs. justifying positions that are obviously batshit crazy.

I have been cleaning the house most of the day. I did submit my resume on a job, but I did not attach a cover letter. I need to write one up and go back to add it to my submissions. I also marked two other jobs for apply for. The department asst positions at this one company all say they require typing 50wpm and proficiency tests on MS Office products. I haven't used powerpoint much in the last 3 years, but it took me less than a day to put together the first thing I was asked to do in it like 10 years ago. I learn stuff fast, just hire me.

No word from my parents today. I'm assuming that's a good thing and the drugs are working. I should probably call to check.

I spent the morning fighting with my old printer/scanner so I could print out the forms for the new job, fill them out in pen, and scan them to send them back. Have these people never heard of PDFs with entry fields? Also, they want witnesses on really basic forms, like "I have read and acknowledge the Worker's Comp policy". WTF. Screw that.

Now on to taxes, woot.

This is cool--Google adds recipe search.

I was also unmoved by the picture, so don't care that it turned out to be a manip. My initial reaction:

Oooh! RDJ shirtless and eyes blazing! This would be a splendid picture were it not for the unfortunate quantity of rope obstructing my view of his shirtless torso, that other piece of rope utterly spoiling the line of his mouth, and the presence in the photo of another person who is (a) fully clothed and (b) not RDJ.
