We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

These are just guidelines A gaggle of envoys from the European Union were in Washington today where President Bush presented them with a list of his demands. They are as follows:
1. Stop trying to get in my way
2. Stop being so French
3. Stop trying to pretend that you matter
4. Kiss my Texan arse
5. Do the world a favour and die.
The envoys said that they had never been so insulted. Mr.Bush told them that they should come to Washington more often.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

They’re bleating in the wind, again!
How in the world can the euro-weenies claim that the extradition treaty lowers protection against violating their vaunted ‘human rights’
… that European human rights principles have been left on one side by an unprecedented EU-US extradition treaty…
when they already have the right of arrest and removal without warrant throughout the union.
Got things a bit backwards, there, methinks.
They’re not guidelines, David. They’re directives. 🙂
I believe Rumself spoke in error when he spoke of ‘Old Europe’. Britain and Switzerland aren’t the problem. That’s the extent of the european governments that are older than the US.
Until europeans learn to establish a government that can retain its form while adapting over the course of a century, they should keep their mouths shut.
No Texan uses the word “arse”. It’s “ass” or “butt”…
Thank you, Steven. Also, no Texan, in this context, would have used the word “Texan”. The sentence would have been, “Y’all can kiss my Texas ass.” (“Y’all” in the context could refer to the entire EU or to the one person to whom he happened to be speaking at the time.”
Well Steven, I suspect David used the English spelling as British readers might find it odd that Bush was inviting people to kiss his donkey
Not all of us, Perry. Some are keen students of Kevin Costner’s version of The Postman and thus completely aware of how fond Americans are of their donkeys.
Very witty David! 🙂
