   No, I don’t think I am missing the point. SCOTUS says police can arrest you if they ask for ID and you fail to provide any.

   So, while the federal government does not necessarily require you to carry ID at all times, the Supreme Court absolutely gave the police the power to demand that you officially identify yourself or face arrest and jail time.

   Is he really an American, though? Musk claims to have passed the naturalization test, but nobody — including musk himself — has ever proven that he passed the naturalization test.

   No, Orwell’s mistake was placing “Big Brother” in the government, when he ended up in the corporate world instead.

   I do not remember the “unprovoked kick” from the comic. I am going to have to dig out my “every Bloom County comic ever printed” compendium and go look for it now….

    An army of caterpillars suggests 10s of thousands of caterpillars. If you personally only see a few together, it’s probably a squad of caterpillars. Maybe even a battalion of caterpillars….
