    I don't know if I like the usage of V-Po for Postrel. "Po" is the German word for "buttocks", so it sounds a bit goofy.

    I suppose as long as SHE doesn't mind, who am I to complain.

    V-Po?

    But was she ever Ginny from the block?

    I grew up without a lot of money. Capitalism has made me fairly well funded.

    Ignorant liberal youth who say "money can't buy happiness" and "people should be less focused on material possessions" while driving their parents BMW's to their private yuppie colleges... those people make me angry nearly to the point of violence.

    Can we find a way to only tax Liberals? If they don't like money, they shouldn't mind giving it away.
