Hi, my name’s Liberty. I am the communal watering hole and this blog’s the closest I come to being an individual — which is a little sad, but terribly true.ask. face.Tumblr (3.0; @fromliberty)http://fromliberty.tumblr.com/“The missile hits, and after the smoke clears there’s a crater there and you can see body parts from the people. [A] guy that was running from the rear to front, his left leg had been taken off above the knee, and I watched him bleed out.<br/><br/> These guys had no hostile intent. In Montana, everyone has a gun. These guys could have been local people that had to protect themselves. I think we jumped the gun.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://www.npr.org/2013/05/05/181403067/the-hidden-cost-of-the-drone-program" target="_blank">Former drone operator Brandon Bryant</a>, on his

were looking through his yearbook and he pointed out a guy and observed: &#8220;Oh look, he doesn&#8217;t look as creepy as usual in his picture,&#8221; or something to that effect in his Alexander sort of way to which I commented on my relationship with this person of the male persuasion (which is not a relationship, but mild flirtation which I have escalated in the wake of my most recent feelings of inadequacy in the romantic field in particular, but I digress) and Alexander, being Alexander, started giggling: <em>&#8220;Why do you always get the weird guys, Liberty?&#8221; </em></p> <p>Well, I don&#8217;t know, man. <em>Why do I always get the weird friends? </em>Probably because I like them that
