    If I name my daughter the "at" symbol, will that cause her Twitter problems later in life?

    1. BakedPenguin   13 years ago

      Maybe...

      1. dikyfuqazoniA2   13 years ago

        Grayson. I agree that Eddie`s bl0g is great... I just got Land Rover Defender since I been bringin in $7002 this past 4 weeks and just a little over 10/k lass-month. this is certainly the coolest job I've ever had. I started this three months/ago and immediately began to bring in more than $85, per/hr. I follow the details on this straightforward website.... grand4.com
        (Go to site and open "Home" for details)

    2. Not Sure   13 years ago

      it might, if she can't come up with anything more clever than her name for a handle.

  2. Outlaw   13 years ago

    I'm submitting questions through coveritlive since I don't have a twitter account. Is anyone getting them?

    1. Mongo   13 years ago

      I'm doing the same thing. I think the honchos at Reason are getting the queries and then they ask Sen. Paul.

      1. Outlaw   13 years ago

        If that's the case they must think our questions suck.

        1. Mongo   13 years ago

          I think I got one in.

  3. Paul.   13 years ago

    Rudely OT: Zumba instructor gets busted for prostituion.

    If there were any profession that would field damned fine prositutes, I'd put Zumba instructor at... the top.

    http://seattletimes.com/html/n.....ution.html

    1. A Serious Man   13 years ago

      It isn't off-topic if you ask Senator Paul what he thinks about Zumba prostitution.

      1. Paul.   13 years ago

        I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!

    2. some guy   13 years ago

      The former single mother was accused of conspiring with insurance business owner Mark Strong to run a prostitution business in which she videotaped clients without their knowledge and kept detailed records over an 18-month period indicating she made $150,000 tax-free. She also collected more than $40,000 in public assistance.

      Everything but the public assistance is cool. They better that back with interest and a penalty.

      1. Paul.   13 years ago

        She should have billed herself as 'green energy'.

      2. Jesus H. Christ   13 years ago

        She gets 10 months in jail and a $57 grand fine. Her partner gets 20 days.

      3. Ted S.   13 years ago

        You're cool with being videotaped without your knowledge?

        1. Paul.   13 years ago

          Fuck, this is a trick question.

          Tulpa answers: Yes

          Libertarians answer: No

  4. Outlaw   13 years ago

    Goddamn Monsanto-obsessed shithawks shitting up the joint.

    1. tupperware   13 years ago

      Paultards always find a way.

      1. Outlaw   13 years ago

        And reason asks Rand Paul if he saw a friggin' Jane Fonda movie.

        At least ask him who his favorite Game of Thrones character is, if you're going to do fluff questions.

  5. robc   13 years ago

    Gah

    WORST. FORMAT. EVER.

    1. DenverJay   13 years ago

      I agree! It's got me totally twitterpated

  6. Ted S.   13 years ago

    What the fuck is up with the word cloud as a background image?

  7. Mongo   13 years ago

    That chump barely answered anyone's questions.

  8. ant1sthenes   13 years ago

    Darn, too late. I was going to run my idea of renaming the Department of Justice to the Department of Oppression.

    My followup idea was to have the NEA commission a pornographic sculpture of Uncle Sam taking a shit on Lady Liberty's chest and install it in place of DOO's statue of blind justice that caused John Ashcroft so many problems. Then, when liberals bitch about us blaspheming their god, we can call them NEA-hating, John-Ashcroft-like prudes.

    But now, we'll never know whether Rand could get that through the Senate.

    1. John Galt   13 years ago

      Yeah, I was too late, too.

  9. carolacosta1   13 years ago
