Well, Steyn Stalkers and Corner Junkies, we meet again. This is becoming a regular thing… should we make it official?
A reader suggested that we start the Free Candy Party, a place for the apathetic fringes of the Tea Party movement to integrate with the 26 year old children living off mummy and daddy as they slide from familial dependence to the governmental variety. Our key tenet is the “right” to a reasonable income–say, $100,000 a year. We’d like it in large bills, please, tax-free. But we’ll take $100,000 after tax, if we must.
I’d also like a clothing allowance, as I believe that it is my right to own several pairs of Louboutins and designer jeans.

1) When you ask a five-year old what would they do if they were President of the US, you usually hear them say “I’d give everyone a million dollars.”
2) Barack Obama wanted to be President since he was five, no? (From his campaign and Hillary)
3) Who knew he’d keep his platform?
4) Where’s my candy, Mr. President?
That is a great insight, Darrell, about not just The Won, but about *all* soft-leftists … at their best (rare though “best” is with them), they’re essentially children, intellectually speaking.
Every day. I may not always comment. Sometimes the thought process is a bit tough. It happens when one hits the mid fifties, ya know.
But I am glad that I happened on this one……..Refreshing, insightful and sometimes……downright funny! 8)
Why are you trying to limit my rights? I have a Constitutional Right to whatever I want, and everybody else has a right to pay for it, and if they don’t want to, that just proves they’re selfish and evil, and probably rich and/or stupid, too.
(Uh, looks like you hit the big time girl. Maybe time to quit your dayjob. Good stuff!)
Indeed, I ran into you again on Twitter, April.
It’s the darndest, thing. Steyn is showing up in all the hangouts these days.
MORE: The kids living with dear mum and daddy until late 20s will also be able to work at Micky D’s and make 100 Grand a year so they can have a “life wage” as the Lefties call it.
oh…and..well, burgers will still be a buck each on the dollar menu.
Free education, income, health, wealth, and sexy gear for all!
(not to mention 20 weeks paid vacation)
One does wonder why the hell I even bother working anymore, though it’s an open question if 44 year-old white males can get all ths glop as well. Hmmm.
Am already working on the Confectionist Candifesto (like, the Smarties will make all the economic decisions, etc).
Figure the $100k/household policy will resuscitate the economy and provide jobs: Families, to maximize income, will promptly break up into however many 1-person households, spurring development of new housing — which will revive the construction industry, creating (or saving) millions of new (or nonnew) jobs.
Who could possibly be against that?
Voila. This economic planning shit is easy.
Nice!
“You don’t know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.”
This is really a collective.
“You don’t know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you’ll be awake, you’ll be facing me, and you’ll be armed.”
But what about the greedy dentists and their predatory fillings? The Free Candy Partiers must be protected from them!
Where do you think all the campaign contributions are going to come from?!
the Smarties will make all the economic decisions
Jolly Ranchers and Sky Bar can handle environmental protection questions; M&M/Mars will stump for NASA programs; Defense and Homeland Security will go to Atomic Fireballs…
And the Hundred Thousand Dollar Bar will be the new poverty line.
Lol…
Goobers for cabinet positions (though right now they moreso describe certain Republican senators).
Twix for Climate Change Bureau…
