Even more grossly OT

"Libertarian Reluctantly Calls Fire Department
CHEYENNE, WY?After attempting to contain a living-room blaze started by a
cigarette, card-carrying Libertarian Trent Jacobs reluctantly called the
Cheyenne Fire Department Monday. "Although the community would do better to
rely on an efficient, free-market fire-fighting service, the fact is that
expensive, unnecessary public fire departments do exist," Jacobs said.
"Also, my house was burning down." Jacobs did not offer to pay firefighters
for their service."
