Well, mostly.  I got my certificate in the mail, but they misspelled my name, so I've got to get a corrected one.

A Party of Real Principle

Since the Libertarian Party has decided in its last convention that it stands for nothing, we need a new Party of Principle for us libertarians who remember it's about winning liberty, not elections.

My friend Tom Knapp has come up with the solution.  A new party, the Boston Tea Party, with a small yet all-encompassing platform which covers everything libertarians stand for.  The state that this platform can never be altered.

Now there's a party of principle.

I hereby endorse the Boston Tea Party's platform and announce my joining of said party.

Congratulate me.

I am now a certified hypnotist.

I had the verbal portion of my final test tonight.  I did very well, if I do say so myself.  Don't have to--my instructor told me I did excessively well.  I only missed one on my final written exam, and aced most of my other tests.

So now I can make new cards up.

Who Knew?

Okay, so I decided I'd try out turkey bacon for the first time.  I bought one package despite the 2 for $4 deal, not knowing whether I'd like it or not.

Well, I'm eating some right now, and it's really rather delicious.  It cooks up rather easily as well, not curling up like crazy as regular pork bacon does.

Yummy.
