Lots of people were amused by the cartoon I posted yesterday, and I also got further appreciative comments about the video portraying Somalia as some sort of libertarian nirvana.

And since readers are sending in lots of good material, I’ll continue to share the really good jokes and cartoons.

Is this latest cartoon a false reading of libertarianism? Of course. But it’s funny since it takes a core truth (individual responsibility is good) and turns it into a caricature (you’re on your own, regardless).

And just to show that I’m not becoming a soft-headed statist, here are links to some of my favorite jokes mocking leftists.

I figure that nobody can question my philosophical bona fides if I provide eight anti-leftist jokes for every anti-libertarian joke.

Addendum: A reader reminds me of this real-world example of government lifeguards.
