Today, I would like to apologize for having watched every episode of The L Word. I also apologize for my fellow libertarian, Tom Palmer’s, hypersensitivity and extreme, irrational, unfair anti-Southern bias.

Since starting this site and blog sometime in 2001, I’ve always called it by the boring name, “StephanKinsella.com Web Log.” It’s time for a change. The new name is…. “THE DAILY APOLOGY: The Libertarian Blog of Stephan Kinsella”

Please help me think of things to apologize for, since we must ever appease our fellow dimwit-Serioso libertarians and other totalitarian-minded dimwits.

I’ve decided for now to do a separate blog: The Daily Apology. Feel free to post!

I apologize today for being white. I apologize to Tom Palmer and his dimwit-Serioso ilk for having a sense of humor, and for not having a stick up my ass. I apologize for the Holocaust and slavery. I apologize for not apologizing earlier, and for any deficiencies of this apology. I apologize for being a neoConfederate even though I am not one. And I better apologize for not being a neoConfederate too, just to cover all bases. I apologize for not being a bigot, and for defending people who are not bigots from false charges of bigotry.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think “pimiento” is spelled wrong.

Burger King helped me catch some dimwit-Serioso troll who tried to set daddy up.

My movie parodying the moronic punks on this Not Reason thread. Made w/ the D.Film moviemaker engine. Respek to Pete Canning.

Is it just me, or is Cal Thomas’s popularity and success a mystery? He has that stiff, weird, vaguely inbred, almost Down’s Syndrome look a lot of suspenders-wearing small-town fundamentalist types do, no?

Coda: Pete Canning scared me by sending me these two pix. Oh no!

Our baby is now in school from 8:30 to 3:00 every day, so the nanny does housework and errands etc. for us during those hours. Yesterday I asked her to go to 2 grocery stores and the drug store, and also asked her to drive by a local cafeteria–it’s like a Luby’s or Piccadilly. I asked her to get 2 meals for the wife and me, and wrote it down on a list. I made the mistake of showing her the cafeteria’s full menu and circled about a dozen items we like there, that she could resort to in case they were out of one of the items I had written down, or that I request in the future. She called me that afternoon and told me she ran out of money, had to dip into her own wallet. I was perplexed since I gave her ample funds for all the errands. Then it dawned on me. My fridge is now full of white styrofoam meal containers from the cafeteria. She ordered everything I had circled. I could not stop laughing. She was so embarrassed. She said the lady at the cafeteria wondered why so much food, and she told her she assumed I was having company that night. Thank God some of the things I had circled were daily specials throughout the week so they didn’t have them. I told her not to bring her lunch today as we have plenty of food in the fridge.

Ever notice in movies the cool guys hold beers in a way no one ever does in real life? They hook their index or middle finger over the very tip of the bottle, as if it’s a cigar, then with a flick of the wrist they upend the bottle, as if it’s a cheroot. Real guys in the real world hold beer bottles by the fat part. And then they get jealous of the cool way the cool guys in movies hold them.

When you buy a lottery ticket and the clerk tells you, “Good luck!,” what exactly does he mean? Surely he is not telling this to you only. He says it to all customers. Does he wish that all of them win? Surely that’s not what they wish.
