Liberty Snips

One of my Twitter friends suggested I post my tweets on a blog. Here are the original tweets I authored, along with a few of my favorite lyric-tweets.

I'm posting recent Twitter conversations here as a way to facilitate discussion of the idea to form a voluntary country. I look forward to knowing your thoughts!

Twitter-Love

Posting each day is a feat

except for those who retweet.

The fun never ends

for five thousand friends,

and only a few ever meet.

Today's inspirations:  "The Twouble with Twitters" and "Baby Boomers on Facebook"

Expedient Melody

Some of my friends are in shock:

our president's principles in hock.

But it's not too soon

for changing his tune.

At least now there's someone to mock.

Too Good to Bail

Zach asked Uncle Sam for a bail

since his mortgage exceeded his sales.

"But it's not in our will

to help those who pay bills.

Too bad you're not too big to fail."

"He Started It!"

Pot and kettle, sittin' in a tree,

pointin' blame at each other, you see.

Giant douche or turd sandwich?

Good Lord, will we ever be free?

Third line references my favorite South Park episode.

Prop 8 Debate Absurdity

Marriages in past are all legal

whether they're gay or straight or regal.

Now the judges have got

their shorts tied in a knot.

It's time for a Prop 8 upheaval.
