Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need.

DE-REGULATE

MWM seeks younger MWF for LTR with torrid love letters. Please be discreet. Internationalism and people who are uptight about grammar bother me. Let's return to normalcy!

LET ME BUILD A HIGHWAY TO YOUR HEART

Why you should get to know me: I'm tough yet tender, well-traveled but treasure my small-town values, intellectual and athletic, handy with both a plow and a tank.

You are: God-fearing, hate commies, think men in uniform are hot.

___ is sexy; ____ is sexier.

The military is sexy; the military and industry, properly meshed, is sexier.

Independence Day update: I came up with my sign slogans (no thanks to you lot) and spent a very enjoyable couple of hours wandering around the local celebrations. Almost all positive responses -- of course, it helps that this is a fairly liberal city. Still and all, a nice way to celebrate the Fourth.

Signs:
True Patriots Respect the Constitution
Shall We Live Under a Government of Laws or of Men?
Show Us the Body of Evidence: Restore Habeas Corpus.

Commiserated with neighbors some about the Libby matter. Nice, people I like but with whom I had not really previously made a political connection. (To the extant that this can be described as such.) Didn't carry a sign though, or throw any bombs.
