Hey NSA! No need to spy on citizens. Just friend us on Facebook and we'll tell you every detail of our lives. You'll die from boredom.

[NSA Corey]

not likely.

My roommate in law school had a buddy who was in the military. We were eating tacos at 2:30 after a night of drinking, and I was saying libertarian anti-government things. He made me stop so he could take the battery out of his phone before proceeding. He claims it was a joke but (a) it wasn't funny and (b) he didn't seem like he was joking.

I'm looking at my laptop screen; there is a lens centered in the frame above it. The first time I opened it, I put a piece of opaque tape over it.
Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I'm also certain.

[NSA Corey]

the tape doesn't cover the microphone.
/just saying

[Sevo]

Interesting. Where is that typically hiding?

[NSA Corey]

it's embedded in the speaker

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

"The files are IN the computer. It's so simple!"

[Heroic Mulatto]

Remy,

You need more women in your videos.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Sandra Fluke was in one of them. You're welcome.

[Heroic Mulatto]

She's female, but I wouldn't call her a "woman". More like an endomorphic, overgrown toddler.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Remy and Brockwell should team up.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Remy and Brockwell should team up do it.

FTFY.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Dude, I like his Saudis in Audis or whatever it's called.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Remy is a national treasure, and Brockwell an international one. It's a perfect fit.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

That wasn't meant as a slight against Remy, who is awesome, but realistically anything with Naomi in it deserves nothing but undivided attention on her.

[LiveFreeOrDiet]

She's female, but I wouldn't call her a "woman". More like an endomorphic, overgrown toddler.

Autogenous party favor.

[Hyperion]

So, I've been over at Washington Times, all day, talking Rand Paul.

Rand, you better appreciate this shit, the amount of peak derp I have endured for you is worth a 200 ft yacht and life time salary to sail around the world and drink all day.

[Ted S.]

What were they saying at the Daily Moonie about Rand Paul?

[Hyperion]

Everything from he's the guy to he's a communist, RINO, and the anti-Christ.

Lot's of folks over there who honestly believe that Jeb Bush, Santorum, or Huckabee are our savior. Seriously.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Well, he is actually a RINO..thank Christ.

[Hyperion]

I don't think that means the same thing to you, as it does to the people I was talking to.

[Hyperion]

And, I did say that I would use the term libertarian for Paul, as opposed to conservative.

And then the hours of splainin the difference between libertarian and anarchists, you know, I've endured.

So if I can't get the yacht, then Paul can at least name me minister of firing worthless bureaucrats. I would enjoy that too much. My fave tactic is stay until after hours and throw all contents of desk out on the lawn with a sign saying 'PICK UP THIS SHIT AND GO HOME, YOU'RE FIRED! SIGNED: AMERICAN PEOPLE'

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Can you get me the job of going through pardon applications and recommending he grant a large proportion of the petitions?

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Commute, commute, pardon, pardon, commute...this guy was a slave trafficker, deny...pardon, pardon, pardon, commute...piracy and murder, deny...commute, commute, pardon...this cop beat up a prisoner, deny...I have a dinner appointment, here, Lester, put down that mop and flag some worthy petitions while I'm gone...

Rand Paul: Socon Newsletter Ghostwriter.
Now where's my cocktail party invite?

[LiveFreeOrDiet]

No meat at "Noah" premier party:

One more reason for me not to go see it. Fuck vegetarian activists.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Genesis 9:2-4 is kind of key to the whole story. Hint: it *doesn't* say "crunchy granola and turnips shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."

[BiMonSciFiCon]

My Badgers. Fuck yeah. We've beaten Michigan, Michigan State and Florida this year, so no matter who wins, we have a chance to win it all. go pack go

[NSA Corey]

Hey guys I got a promotion so I won't be around much longer.
Just thought you should know.

[Francisco d'Anconia]

DHS or CIA?

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Or dogcatcher?

[NSA Corey]

[Warrren]

Sounds like a demotion as we are the absolute tits.

[RannedPall]

Afterrrrrshocksss

[RishJoMo]

The NSA seems to have WAY too much spare time on its hands.
