Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Bunny Rabbits

How did they find someone dumber than Rand Paul to write this book for him?

Waiting for Flippin to weigh in on bunny terrorism.

Please, you speak despairingly of Ayn’s godson. Rand’s adopted state of KY allowed him to be elected as a real US Senator over the objection of it’s senior Senator (of whom we cannot speak his name). And the current presidential polling show the Mittens leading the President by a wide margin. Kentucky used to be able to point to Mississippi and be comforted by the fact that they weren’t on the bottom of every list. But now KY is rapidly sinking south on all counts. How proud they must be.
You know what they say: Drill Rand, drill (pun intended).

@Dodger: I started to write a 1-star review entitled “A case for bunny rabbit regulation,” but I chickened out (even though it would have been deleted in about .0009 seconds for irrelevency), cuz I have a sneaking suspicion Amazon will be our print media overlords soon enough and cashe has a looooong memory.

@flippin eck: Amazon agreed to pay Cal state sales tax in return for permission to build some warehouses here. They are talkimg about one-day or same-day delivery, which means that I may never have to get off the couch again.

@Dodgerblue: PA did the same. No small irony that I had a new pair of running shoes shipped to me, second-day delivery free, from the comfort of my chair. In Virginia.

@Beggars Biscuit: Yeah. Local merchants are not amused — having bitched for years about the uneven playing field, now they will actually have to compete on service.

@Dodgerblue: Yes, but your goods will be delivered by unreliable drivers hired from a “penny saver” classified, paid minimum wages and no benes in unsecured vehicles via a contractor that does not have local boots or wheels on the ground.

I stopped ordering from Amazon after I saw one of my Amazon packages being delivered by a guy in an old unmarked beat up pickup truck with labeled Amazon packages piled high in the unsecured open bed. This is what Prime buys you.

@texrednface: Maybe I’m just lucky here in So Cal. I’ve had exactly one package go missing from Amazon, a couple of books. I emailed customer service and they had a replacement delivered to my house by noon the next day, no additional charge.

@Dodgerblue: When I was in grad school, I frequently ordered textbooks from Amazon with no problem, but for other books I had problems with them even filling my order (not moving on the order for 3 weeks one time). I still order *some* stuff from them but most of my books are either from the local bookstore or Book Depository in the UK — which has free international shipping.

Speaking of small furry animals, Butterstick 2: Electric Boogaloo has arrived. Take that, San Diego!

@mellbell: First tweet I saw this AM was Ana Marie Cox’s “There’s been a panda!”

You want bunnies? I’ve got hundreds. They sit outside playing gin rummy with the pugs.

@Benedick: In a past life as a Bunny, I drank rum and played gin – or was it the other way around?
