I shot a 9mm for the first time today.

Как по-русские "Fuck yeah, Ron Paul"?

I rise in reluctant opposition to H Res 560, which condemns the Iranian government for its recent actions during the unrest in that country. While I never condone violence, much less the violence that governments are only too willing to mete out to their own citizens, I am always very cautious about “condemning” the actions of governments overseas. As an elected member of the United States House of Representatives, I have always questioned our constitutional authority to sit in judgment of the actions of foreign governments of which we are not representatives. I have always hesitated when my colleagues rush to pronounce final judgment on events thousands of miles away about which we know very little. And we know very little beyond limited press reports about what is happening in Iran.

Of course I do not support attempts by foreign governments to suppress the democratic aspirations of their people, but when is the last time we condemned Saudi Arabia or Egypt or the many other countries where unlike in Iran there is no opportunity to exercise any substantial vote on political leadership? It seems our criticism is selective and applied when there are political points to be made. I have admired President Obama’s cautious approach to the situation in Iran and I would have preferred that we in the House had acted similarly.

I adhere to the foreign policy of our Founders, who advised that we not interfere in the internal affairs of countries overseas. I believe that is the best policy for the United States, for our national security and for our prosperity. I urge my colleagues to reject this and all similar meddling resolutions.

Going to Crestview tomorrow (later today) for a party with my family, staying the night there, going to the DMV to get a new license, then coming back to Peniscola to tidy up the apartment some for the PARTYPARTYPARTYPARTYPARTY.

Oh boy, I’m going to be 21. It took me long enough (something like 21 years).

I would invite you to the party, but I think I already invited everyone I know on tumblr to come. If you want to drop by, though, feel free!

There will be a few notables there:

Maybe you have heard of a Mr. Christopher Cheung? He is my brother. He will be there. Marvel at his sideburns.

The Norwegians will be sending an ambassador to the party, Miss Christine Jacobson. Feel free to make jokes at her expense. Here is a good starting point.

We are cooking potatoes* especially for Mr. Patrick O‘Sullivan. I have not actually met him, but I’ve been told that he will not rob my house. That is probably a lie. You cannot trust the Irish.

Señorita Gwyn Ellsworth will be there as well. She is not Spanish or Hispanic (that I know of). I do know that she has a thing for history, so if you are old, you should talk to her. I think she would like that.

Also Sarah Kane. She works with crazy people. No, really.

*There are no potatoes.

I do like potatoes =(
