Civil disobedience is fine, boys - just be aware that the penalty that you are willing to suffer is not just missing your flight today but possibly foregoing flying ever again if you are put on a no-fly list.
-
I'm ok with this.
-
Feck off TSA! Drink! Arse! Girls!
-
They will never keep my hands off the yoke of a general aviation aircraft. Fuck airlines.
-
Forget civil liberties... how about RON PAUL FREAKING ACTION FIGURES~>~?!?!
-
I don't think people who say the words "forget civil liberties" are even allowed to buy Ron Paul action figures.
-
I'd rather just spend that money donating to his campaign.
-
The money does go to on of the Super PACs that supports Paul, which, in some ways, may be money better spent.
The same one that made this video.

You clearly want the terrorists to win.
I personally think my 3-yr terror-watch-list status gives me special right to make fun of people gettin' all uppity about 1 incident of minor harassment. At least he wasnt wearing a colostomy bag!

re: terrorists win. The 2012 version is "Obama gets re-elected". Should I send you another copy of the memo?

OK, that's a bit creepy. Hero worship is bad, mm'kay?
-
If you don't idolize Bill Shatner then fu.
-
That's not hero worship, it's superhero worship. Why are you so stupid?
-
Because of the internet.
-
What?
-
Feck Lebron.
-
How many people opt for the pat-down and then moan with pleasure as the TSA agent's hands roam at will?
BTW, what's happened to Welch? That shirt/tie combo did not require me to don sunnies.

Or just ask, "is this is the line for happy endings?"
-
Dude know he is like totally getting on down dude. WOw.
-
Rand Paul is a stupid as Matt Welch looks.
-
Wow, that was pretty clever. I lol'ed.
-
Your ideas intrigue me. Where can i read your newsletter?
-
Feck Max! Oh, wait, I already did. Drink! Arse! Girls!
