This is crony capitalism.
ldsgeek:
Crony capitalism - a capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials.
See, things like this irritate me — not the situation we’re in, but the attitude implied in this chart — because it’s like you can’t win. You want someone completely uninvolved with what they’re...

The Most Awkward Conversation of My Lifetime
A few days ago I posted this picture to the general amusement of the Internet. It subsequently led to what must be the most awkward days ever seen in my parents’ house.
But before I get to that, I must give some background information. One of my good friends is brilliant and dedicated, and she spent the past semester at an internship in South Africa, doing things for public health and...

You work in government for long enough, and you run the risk of starting to think voters are morons. And yes, there are a lot of morons out there, the people who will call in and complain that the mandatory pasteurization of milk is an assault on our freedoms, or that there’s no good reason why you can’t take a gun into a church or an elementary school because, God dammit,...

Dear Santa,
I would like Rick Perry to be the Republican nominee for 2012. If you could get me that for Christmas, you would be spreading an awful lot of joy.

Holy Blogoversary, Batman!
Yesterday my Tumblr was two years old. A toddler! Soon he’ll be running around the yard, destroying my things, and making me regret not pulling out of the Internet that December afternoon in 2009.
Anyway, do I get a cake or something?

These sort of things happen all the time. Do you know how many death threats the President of the United States gets annually? Do you know how many death threats an African-American president gets?

I've decided to become a corporation.
Why?
Still a person.
Can donate as much money as I want to political campaigns.
Can get whatever laws I want passed.
100% of the government cares about protecting my rights, as opposed to just the Democrats.
No taxes!
Don’t have to worry about committing heinous crimes, I’ll get off with a slap on the wrist and a wink and a nudge.
On that note, I can’t be executed.
