"Government," says Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., "is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together." This, of course, is eminently untrue -- we do plenty of things together that don't involve the government, thank God. One can only imagine how dull and dreary our sex lives would be if they had to run through a DMV-style bureaucracy.HA. The joke is slightly lessened if we acknowledge that there are a few people who have to wait in a long line to get needs like that taken care of, but well-spotted young Ben. Do go on:
But this foolish liberal meme has value. It does carry a grain of truth: government represents us. Without us, there is no government. More to the point, without our money, there are no government programs.Aha! There is government and it does stuff. Also well-spotted. What can be done with this grain of truth? A grain is a seed, right? And from tiny acorns mighty oaks grow:
The truth is that capitalism, not government, is the name of the things we choose to do together. I choose to pay somebody to wash my car; that person chooses to wash my car in exchange for the cash.Stupid Barney Frank.
The rest of the column is about how Sandra Fluke should do Ben's laundry. No really.

One can also infer that Ben is paying for sex.

I didn't know there was a Pedobunny.
I meant to pay them to NOT ruin things.
Fish just ruined the universe by making me think of Ben and sex.
Good god!
Does Glenn have...an ERECTION??
I'm not feeling well...
The skidmarks! My god, the skidmarks!!

It does take a special kind of writer to point out a counter-example to Frank's "government = cooperation" assertion, while coming up with one's own assertion that succumbs to exactly the same counter-example.
Young Ben does not do self-awareness.
You get distracted when you're thinking about ladies and your underwear.
omg

Meanwhile, the conservatives he supports want to do this, sniffing around everyone's bedrooms looking for wrong unholy badness.

15,000 women
They camp out at my door
None of them can get enough
They all want more
They each take a number
They wait in line
They all get their chance
One at a time
I think you can sing it to "Louie Louie."

I'm sorry. What were we talking about?

Well, sure, maybe over here.
But in Jolly Olde England, I'm pretty sure they'd identify it as "Spotted Dick"...
