Warung Bebas

So anyway, some Americans tried to write “laissez-faire” on Starbucks gift cards, for some reason, but they couldn't because this violates company policy, for some other reason.

Why would anyone want to write laissez-faire on a Starbucks gift card? Why would anyone else want to stop them? Reading this I realised that I no more understand American culture than I understand the headhunting tribes of Borneo.

“I'm still hoping that it was all a computer glitch,” says a thinker from the Cato Institute, “and that some day my latte-drinking, non-tax-hiking friends will be able to get their very own customized Starbucks gift card with "Laissez Faire" emblazoned on it...”

I was wondering how I would explain any of this to a tribesman from Borneo, if he asked me, but the only explanation I can come up with is that they are all out of their fucking minds.

Michelle Malkin was so angry about it that she switched to coffee from Dunkin Donuts. “Dunkin’: Tastes good, cheaper, and good for national security. Drink up!”

If anyone can translate that into Sea Dayak, you win a year's supply of shrunken heads. (Entries in Land Dayak will not be accepted, due to company policy.)


Having trouble understanding what Malkin is talking about.
