Strongest Slug Of Beer Is Also...

Far Too Squirrely For Most

According to Scottish firm BrewDog, “The End of History” is the “strongest (55% alcohol), most expensive and most shocking beer in the world.”

Just 12 bottles were made and the company has already sold out. They will be shipped out to buyers in the United States, Canada, Italy, Denmark, Scotland and England next week.

The dead animals which were used to create the beers’ unusual appearance were four squirrels, seven weasels and a hare. 

I've tried contacting them to see if I can get my hands on a case. PETA is holding a shindig nearby in a few weeks and I'll say no more.

Court Strikes Down California Town's Law That Prohibits Talking To Strangers

ROSEVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A Northern California appeals court has struck down a shopping mall's policy barring people from approaching strangers to chitchat.

The 3rd District Court of Appeal this week said the rules at Roseville's Westfield Galleria violate the California Constitution's free speech guarantee.

The mall prohibited people in its common areas from approaching people they didn't know to talk unless the conversation was about business involving the mall or its tenants. The case arose after mall officials issued a citizen's arrest of a 27-year-old pastor who tried to talk about his faith.

The appeals court says the policy effectively bars shoppers from chatting about the weather or offering directions.

A spokeswoman for Westfield says the mall is considering appealing to the California Supreme Court.

I'll begin commenting by posting the following link from Wikipedia that contains this information about Roseville:

In CNN Money's "Best Places to Live" study in 2006, Roseville was ranked the skinniest city in the country, with an average body mass index of 24.5.

Now, the bogus Body Mass Index was created to make vegetarians feel superior to normal people, but I guess the folks that run the Roseville Mall wanted to be even smugger than all that and tried including talking to strangers as being as bad as not being skinny. 

Just repeat after me, "Only in California...only in California..."

French Police to Fine Tourists for Going Shirtless

(NewsCore) - Male tourists in France were being threatened with $48 fines for walking around without their shirts on, The Independent reported Monday.

Locals in seaside resort towns including Cannes and St. Tropez demanded the move after they were sick of seeing Brits and other tourists displaying their "hairy chests" in the streets, the newspaper said. Inland cities such as Perpignan, in the south of France, followed the move and introduced a dress code banning bare chests for the first time.

For as much as I despise the modern propensity for laws, laws, and more laws, people have been cowed into not policing themselves and their communities for so long they've forgotten how to chastise bad behavior by responding with old fashioned common sense, so good for them Frenchies.

Years back, the simple "No-Shoes No- Shirt-No Service" signs were all that was needed to prevent the northern snowbirds from traipsing about Florida as if it were their very own private fat-guy-nudist-colony, but lawsuits instituted by certain minority groups soon put an end to that.

Now a merchant must weigh the consequences should he refuse to accommodate a 400-pound sow wrecking havoc in his establishment simply by intentionally, or unintentionally, knocking over shelves and display cases with nothing more than an incredibly uncovered and quite massive bosom. And when said creature sends dozens of cans of cream corn hurtling to the floor then BLAMES the proprietor for breaking several toes on an unshod hoof, it's back to the signs again and to court soon thereafter.

The ban also includes inappropriate bikini-wear and that's another story for another day, but suffice to say that anyone would even think of banning bikini's is an absolute travesty. Damned French.

DRIZZLE DRAZZLE DROZZLE DRONE...

Michelle Obama while stumping for her husband during the 2008 election:

"We have to make sacrifices, we have to change our conversation, We have to change our traditions, we have to change our history, and we have to move to a different place."

...TIME FOR THIS ONE TO COME HOME. 

From Spain. And the private beach in Florida where they swam the other day and lied about it being in the Gulf of Mexico. And... (insert latest Obowmo stupidity here).

Gaming the Border: a Report from Cochise County, Arizona

"The video shows that one of the most active smuggling corridors lies just west of the Ladd Ranch, through the Huachuca Mountains. It features excerpts from an interview with an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was part of a group of 11 persons that hiked over the Huachucas in November. After descending into the outskirts of Sierra Vista, the group was met by two vehicles that took them a short distance before dropping them off south of a Border Patrol checkpoint. They then walked around the checkpoint, meeting vehicles farther north that took them to Tucson. The illegal immigrant paid $2,800 to be smuggled from the border to Maryland, where he is now working in two fast food restaurants."

Damn. First thing that went through my mind after reading the above was, hell, I'd take him there for a lot less than that.

Then it struck me.

Ask anyone of retirement age and they'll verify that even if one wants to work at something, ANYTHING - in this economy everyone over the age of 55 is pretty much blackballed from being hired, and for a host of reasons.

But if we could get Americans to retire along the borderlands they'd have an instant income. Undercutting the Mexican's by one helluva fairtheewell. Here's how it'd work: The round trip wouldn't take much more than $300 in gas, and old men in particular still love to drive. A lot. Taking a scenic tour of the great Southwest up on into Maryland, a fella might even go a little further and make a pitstop in Washington where a trip to the Smithsonian would definitely be on the agenda.

Think of all the postcards. Old folks simply LOVE postcards. Well, mail of any sort, really. So say $300 for gas, another $50 for food and $100 for postcards, wear and tear on the car which to be honest doesn't get all that much attention anymore and could use the ride, and a man could do the trip for way less than HALF of what them Mexican smugglers are charging, and keep the DAMN JOBS in America.

Beat 'em at their own game, so to speak. Anyway, click here for the full story and the video, too.

UPDATE

I just went over the math again, and since my Mercury Marquis is getting only 25 miles per gallon on the highway I might need to change the gasoline expenditure to $350 just to be sure. And I didn't add in windshield washer fluid, but old Bestsy doesn't use a drop of oil so that balances everything out. And maybe new maps, too. Lots of new maps. That clearly show where the rest stops are.

CBS News Asks: How Many "Top Priority" Issues Does Obama Have?

After the Senate passed that $600 million Border Security Bill, President Obama issued a statement asserting that securing the southwest border has been "a top priority" since he took office.

But if you think Mr. Obama can have but a single "top priority," you'd be wrong. He's got a load of them. 

FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS: "...that's something that's going to be a top priority." (4/27/10)

ENERGY SECURITY: "And that's why my energy security plan has been one of the top priorities of my Administration since the day I took office." (4/28/10)

EDUCATION REFORM: "To train our workers for the jobs of tomorrow, we've made education reform a top priority in this Administration." (2/24/10)

STUDENT LOAN REFORM: "This is something that I've made a top priority." (2/1/10)

EXPORTS BY SMALL BUSINESSES: "This is going to be a top priority." (12/3/09)

HEALTH ASSISTANCE TO 9/11 FIRST RESPONDERS: "I'm not just talking the talk, we've been budgeting this as a top priority for this Administration." (2/3/10)

END HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS: "I've also directed (Veterans Affairs) Secretary Shinseki to focus on a top priority: reducing homeless among veterans." (8/17/09)

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS: "Our top priority is ensuring the public safety. That means appropriate sheltering in place or if necessary, getting as many people as possible out of harm's way prior to landfall." (5/29/09)

H1N1 FLU VACCINATIONS: "And throughout this process, my top priority has been the health and the safety of the American people." (5/1/09)

SUPPORT FOR MILITARY FAMILIES: "These military families are heroes too. And they are a top priority of Michelle and me. And they will always have our support." (5/30/09)

STRENTHENING (sic, Fits: Yeah, yeah, they can criticize but they still can't spell-check)  TIES WITH CANADA AND MEXICO: "We're going to make this a top priority..." (10/16/09)

CONSUMER PROTECTION: "During these challenging times, the needs of American consumers are a top priority of my Administration." (2/11/09)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: "So this is going to be a top priority generally improving our environmental quality." (11/5/09)

The dictionary defines "top" as a singular entity: "the part of anything that is first or foremost."

By designating a multitude of "top priorities," Mr. Obama can be seen trying to score political points with the constituencies for all of these issues."

The big news isn't the fact that Barry Hussein has a scazillion "top-priorities"; hells bells but politicians exaggerate almost as often as they flat out lie.

The newsworthy factor is that C-BS actually published an objection to He-Who-Will-NOT-Be-Criticized.

What's next? Offering bogus documentation asserting that Barry was actually born in the United States? Wait. They've already tried that and it worked.

Legal Immigrants, Who and From Where?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that 15 percent of all persons becoming Legal Permanent Residents (LPR) in the United States in 2009 were born in Mexico. China was second with 5.7 percent, and then the Philippines (5.3 percent), India (5.1 percent) and the Dominican Republic (4.4 percent) finished out the top five.  Those countries alone accounted for 35 percent of all new LPRs in 2009. 

BusinessWeek reports that remittances are “Mexico’s No. 2 source of foreign income after oil exports.” A remittance is money sent by mail, usually in the form of a gift. Mexico is the world’s third largest recipient of remittances (behind only India and China). BusinessWeek also reports that the amount of money migrant workers sent home in the first half of 2010 fell 4.1 percent compared with the same period last year. Remittances totaled $10.63 billion in the first six months, down from $11.1 billion in the first half of 2009. Therefore, stricter policies against illegal immigration in America would negatively impact Mexico’s economy. This perhaps explains Mexico’s vehement protest against SB1070.

Uh huh. The SECOND source of Mexico's foreign in-come... out-goes from the United States, and therein lies the true rub.

Since Mexico itself...blessed with a plethora of magnificent natural resources..is, as a nation, more corrupt than even Cuba, it must sustain itself upon monies STOLEN from someone else.

When the Mafia does this, its called racketeering; when a democrat controlled Congress does it, then its called taxes. But at least both of the above gangs are American citizens. Fighting over an ever diminishing pot to purloin from. And BOTH do regular business with Mexican nationals; the Mob as it acquires goods and services from south of the border, and the democrats as they strive ever mightily to enlarge their constituency.

Instantly legalizing 20-some-odd million unauthorized Mexicans automatically engorges the democrat coffers, and our liberals are desperate to divert the home-to-Mehico money back to Washington. They don't give two squats about Mexicans or Mexico, but cannot bear to see all of that cash being flushed down to Beanerville when all those folks will do with it is eat, pay rent, and buy clothes for their kids.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Legal immigrants are, generally speaking, you see, better educated and therefore more likely to suffer less during the 4 month waiting period necessary to obtaining a green card. Coming in with more resources, and smarts, means not as likely to fall for the usual liberal bullswaddle, and that's why our libs like 'em barefoot and pregnant whenever possible.

You don't see a big liberal push to streamline the waiting period for that green card, or to educate illegals as to the true damage they are doing to the country, because the longer it takes the more likely Juan, Juanita, and the Juanettes are to go underground and become criminals.

And not for nothing, because I hate to generalize, cough, but if incoming Mexicans are so terrific a group of people then why is Mexico in the crapper and NEVER crawling out on its own? Could you even begin to imagine what Mexico would be like if the Israelis and Mexicans swapped countries?

Yeah, I know. Then the Palestinians would soon follow and come to the conclusion that fossilized droppings found in Texas and California belonged to Mohammed's flying horse and demand the return of those holy territories.

Cheryl Crow Wants Recycled Toilet Paper At All Her Gigs

AUGUST 11--Touring the United States and Europe this year, Sheryl Crow arrives at venues with an assortment of environmental demands certain to vex concert promoters, according to a review of the musician’s 2010 backstage rider.

The document, excerpted here, actually has a 2-1/2 page “environmental portion” to be “strictly followed and policed.” Seeking to “minimize the overall environmental impact of our tour,” Crow demands that only biodegradable cups and dinnerware be used by the caterer. Produce should be “organic and purchased from local suppliers as much as possible.” And for the five backstage “watering stations,” water “must be sourced from a local spring water vendor.”

According to Crow’s rider, her tour party travels between gigs in two 45-foot buses, while her equipment is packed into two tractor-trailers.

Crow, 48, also offers promoters “venue greening suggestions.” She wants “traditional light bulbs” swapped out for compact fluorescent bulbs in “all offices, dressing rooms and common areas.” “Eco-friendly cleaning and bathroom products” and “post-consumer recycled toilet paper and paper towel” should also be used. Crow’s rider also notes that, “We strongly encourage you to use renewable sources and/or to buy sustainable energy credits where possible. Many local utilities offer ‘green power’ as an option--please check with yours and opt in.”

The document also details how Crow’s backstage hospitality room is to be stocked. The singer needs an assortment of “biodegradable non-petroleum cups” and 24 “disposable napkins made of 100% recycled fiber.” Crow’s rider also lists a wide variety of drinks and snacks that she needs, including organic coconut water and two bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon (“Sheryl’s Favorite” is Stag’s Leap Artemis). Two “good quality, dark, organic chocolate bars” are described as “***VERY IMPORTANT***”

If there truly IS a God, then Cheryl will soon lose her voice, go bankrupt, and be forced to seek employment as a toilet-paper-recycler-specialist. Maybe, trying to wring out those teeny little wads of dissolving shit-sheets would bring her enough to her senses to realize that TOILET PAPER CANNOT BE RECYCLED YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

And certain of these recycling efforts are quite harmful to the economy, as MOST modern paper of all types come from tree-farms. Acreage that has been set aside, sometimes for decades, as sustainable crop to be used without having to resort to deforestation elsewhere. The single biggest destroyer of trees comes from the Loews and Home Depot demand for DECKING projects. Yes, the same morons that demand recycled this and that will happily add on one outside deck after another in their goal to out-do the Joneses. And complaining about paper products that come from tree-farms is as silly as putting an onus on consuming corn because it destroys all of the plants on those pretty corn farms.

Going Up? Then Go Prepared

Few weeks back I was visiting a relative in Jacksonville. Since he is of my generation and didn't spend his adult life learning to break stuff into little tiny pieces, he's a fairly big wig with a well known firm. We went out for lunch, and upon returning went to use his executive elevator in the fancy schmancy building he "works" in, but the thing was down for service.

Headed to the stairway doors and they were locked. Metal doors. Shut. Locked. So we then had to wind our way back to the original entrance of the complex and try the peon elevators and they were operational so up we went.

Remember when large, or even small for that matter, office buildings had fire-axes on at least each and every floor? As a kid we'd fool around in the Empire State Building, and once one of the elevator operators told us that the building had over 3,000 axes.

Three-thousand. And not darling little hatchets like you see today, when you actually do see them, but robust door removers that'd take out anything short of a bank vault.

No more. Anti-terrorist security procedures have done away with anything that could possibly be employed as a weapon, so we're each and every one of us reliant upon technology to save our hide should a building go up in smoke. The particular doors at my relatives' place of business were programmed to open if and when a fire alarm went off, or should heat and/or smoke sensors trip the unlock switch.

Yeah. Right. First thing they tell you is DO NOT use the elevators in case of fire, and the next thing they tell you is just wait a while and the fire doors will open all by themselves, so no sweat.

Yeah. Right. Now, as long as I'm on a side of a doorway that opens out and away, there's a decent enough chance of being able to bull rush the thing into splinters, as long as its made of wood. But the metal, fire-proofed doors are something else. Hurl 270 or so pounds at one time and again and maybe you'll leave a mark, but today's fire/security doors are designed to prevent people from using them and they do a damned good job of it.

And please now, the "sit-back-and-be-patient" we're coming to help you doesn't work anymore. Things are far too complicated. And dammit, there are no more axes.

Next time out I am leaving the little blades at home and bringing the Spartan. The web is full of chatter about what knife to use in the wild, but there should be more talk of what to use in the asphalt jungle.

Here's the YouTube video from Cold Steel, and while they usually go overboard in advertising their wares, I dismiss the puffery and concentrate on the usefulness of their products. Say what you will, but they do make robust blades that'd open just about any fire door around.

Opposites are attractive.

The Spartan in Aus 8 steel and the Kershaw Shallot in CPM ST110 V. One can open pretty much anything that needs opening, and the other is made of the finest stainless steel in existence, but configured for more gentile applications. From now on, I'm carrying both.

We spend so very much of our time thinking about preparing for a bug-out towards the woodlands, maybe we're forgetting that there's more to survival than taking out that pesky cougar. I for one spend more time than I want to in large, modern, buildings ...getting involved in politics will do that to a fella...and less and less time in the swamp where I SHOULD be harassing large ugly reptiles and democrat politicians. Same difference.

Murderous Iranian Thugs Torture Woman To Prep Her For TV "Confession"

A lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning has told a British newspaper she was tortured for two days before confessing on state TV to being an accomplice to her husband's death. Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani's lawyer told the Guardian on Thursday that his client, a 43-year-old mother of two, was forced to give the interview, which was recorded in Tabriz prison where she has been held for the past four years.

"She was severely beaten up and tortured until she accepted to appear in front of camera. Her 22-year-old son Sajad and her 17-year-old daughter Saeedeh are completely traumatised by watching this programme," lawyer Houtan Kian said on the newspaper's website.


The lawyer said he feared the Iranian authorities would act quickly to carry out the death sentence, which was reportedly commuted to hanging after an international outcry against her sentence last month.


The Guardian gave no details of where the lawyer was speaking.
Another of her lawyers, Mohammad Mostafaie, fled Iran this month and is now in Norway after Iranian officials issued an arrest warrant for him and detained his wife.


The sentence against Mohammadi-Ashtiani was initially for "having an illicit relationship outside marriage", which drew condemnation from many countries.
But in the interview broadcast on state TV, she said that a man with whom she was acquainted had offered to kill her husband and she let him carry out the crime.


In a separate interview with the Guardian last week, she claimed she had been acquitted of murder, "but the man who actually killed my husband was identified and imprisoned but he is not sentenced to death."
In the earlier Guardian interview, she attributed her treatment by the Iranian authorities to her gender. "It's because I'm a woman, it's because they think they can do anything to women in this country," she said.

Sorry, ma'am, but they can. 

Iran is governed by people who can make up the rules as they go along, and one of the really sad things about this is the fact that me and lots of folks like me would fight to the death to help save you, but many Western women, the members of NOW, and all the other liberated feminine gripping machines remain absolutely silent on the issue.

It's like this; having given up their place as cherished, well-protected human beings, liberated gals know damned well that they would be fair game when push came to shove. They hate firearms, know nothing about defending themselves besides dialing 911, and are at their very core nothing but a gaggle of abject stupidity turned rancid.

So you won't be getting any help from "them". And while all we here can do is to broadcast your horrible fate, and condemn the lawless cultists who killed you, we do that with sadness laced sincerity. You have the same rights as any other being on the planet, and the animals masquerading as a religious entity will someday get their just desserts.

Sooner the better. Maybe we can't save you, but if enough of us create enough of a stink then maybe even our women will step up to the plate, too. Perhaps even our very own 1st Lady who just returned from a million-dollar-spending-spree in Spain.

Betcha she says something. We'll even begin a watch here to keep an eye out for it.

Octopus Slain In Grizzley Hate-Crime Attack

AN Argentine TV presenter furious with Paul the 'psychic' World Cup octopus has horrified viewers by liquidising one of his relatives live on air.

Argentina fans blamed him for their World Cup exit after he correctly predicted Germany would beat them and some have voiced a desire to eat him. 

So after branding the animal a "Nazi" he grabbed an octopus live on air and claimed to be killing it as he hacked its head off and put bits of it in a blender. 

Pettinato said as he lowered him into the machine: "Your moment has arrived, little Nazi octopus."

Sweet mother of pearl, but just how lame can these soccer freaks be. 

Blaming an octopus. Like some stupid octopus could really predict anything.

Not like he's a groundhog.

Ann Coulter Teaches Us How To Play: SPOT THE DEMOCRAT

Although Its Painfully Easy..Simply Follow The Slime Trail

In the greatest party-affiliation cover-up since the media tried to portray Gary Condit as a Republican, the media are refusing to mention the party affiliation of the thieving government officials in Bell, Calif.

There have been hundreds of news stories about Bell city officials' jaw-dropping salaries. In this poor city on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where the per capita annual income is $24,800 a year, the city manager, Robert Rizzo, had a salary of $787,637.

That's about twice what the president of the United States makes. (To be fair, Rizzo was doing a better job.)

Rizzo was the highest-paid government employee in the entire country, not counting Maxine Waters' husband -- pending further revelations. With benefits, his total annual compensation, according to the Los Angeles Times, came to $1.5 million a year.

Alerted to the Bell situation, the White House quickly added the Bell city manager to the list of jobs saved by its stimulus plan.

Not only that, but Rizzo was entitled to 28 weeks off a year for vacation and sick leave. To put that in perspective, that's almost as much vacation time as public school teachers get!

Reached in Spain, even Michelle Obama was outraged.

Rizzo responded to the anger over his preposterous salary by saying: "If that's a number people choke on, maybe I'm in the wrong business. I could go into private business and make that money."

(If he wants to grab one of those private-sector jobs that pays $1.5 million for 24 weeks of work, may I suggest the entertainment industry?)

Good luck to him. After leaving Bell, Rizzo will be lucky to land a job at Taco Bell. Before being anointed the King Tut of Bell, Rizzo was the city manager of Hesperia, Calif., where he was overpaid only to the tune of $78,000 a year.

The police chief, Randy Adams, was making $457,000 -- $770,046 including benefits. The assistant city manager, Angela Spaccia, had a $376,288 salary, with a total compensation package of $845,960. Being just an assistant city manager, Angela had to pay for her own yacht.

After the Los Angeles Times reported the stratospheric government salaries in little Bell, and the people of the town revolted, the millionaire government employees all resigned.

That'll show 'em! Oops, except upon their resignations, they qualified for lifetime pensions worth, by some estimates, more than $50 million.

These insane salary packages were granted by the mayor and four city council members -- who also set their own salaries. As a result, all but one was making $100,000 a year for these part-time jobs. After the council members' salaries came to light, the four looters cut their salaries by 90 percent.

According to Nexis, there have been more than 300 news stories reporting on the Bell scandal. Guess how many mentioned the party affiliation of the corrupt government bureaucrats?

One. Yes, just one. Now guess if the government officials were Democrats or Republicans? Yes, that is correct.
Congratulations -- you've qualified for our bonus round!

The one newspaper to cough up party affiliations, The Orange County Register, admitted that the corrupt officials were all Democrats only in response to reader complaints about the peculiar omission.

Lots of news stories on the scandal in Bell used the word "Democrat" or "Democratic." But that was only to say that the DEMOCRATIC attorney general of California, Jerry Brown, who is running on the DEMOCRATIC ticket for governor, is investigating the Bell officials' salaries.

So we know the media are aware of party affiliations. They just chose not to mention it when it would require them to identify shockingly corrupt government officials as Democrats
.
Any day now, the media will start describing Maxine Waters as "the light-skinned congresswoman from California."

(But you might want to vote for that DEMOCRATIC attorney general who is apparently a great crusader against corruption ... despite his years of ignoring the public employee salary and pension looting that has driven the state into insolvency.)

Maybe Obama's Czar of City Managers' Salaries could investigate this.

Unlike political corruption involving sex or bribery, the outrage in Bell isn't a scandal that hits both parties from time to time -- it's how the Democrats govern.

Elected Democratic officials bestow ludicrous salaries and benefits packages on government employees, and, in return, public employee unions make sure the Democrats keep getting re-elected.

The scandal in Bell isn't a scandal at all for the Democrats. Au contraire! This is the governing strategy of the Democratic Party.

They own the media. ALL the media. All the old media, at least. Still was enough to get a nobody without portfolio elected to the Presidency of these United States. Think about that for a moment. No birth certificate, school transcripts, or job that required even a modicum of leadership, and they STILL got the dog elected.

And they'll do it again if we let 'em.

The Latest Teacher's Union Bailout...Who Needs It

With the exceptions of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, the entire Northeast  corridor is in serious trouble with regards to actually...gasp...spending only the revenues they actually have.

Regarding the Deep South, Alabama is, with any luck, close to getting their house in order, but Georgia and South Carolina remain in deep trouble.

The Midwest is doing pretty good, Nebraska being the sole heartland state that finds it difficult to make ends meet ever since the dog-food companies began fighting the ethanol folks for the rights to over-inflate the price of corn thereby making dreams of good export years all but impossible. Michigan is for all intent and purpose forever lost due to the broken liberal promises that bankrupted the state to begin with. Trade 'em to Canada for a halfway decent hockey team, and drilling rights to Newfoundland. The Canuck healthcare/welfare system is shot to pieces so the current Michiganators will flee in droves to Colorado where they can still freeze in comfort, leaving the Hosers with alla that lakefront property they can let ice-over for outdoor rinks.

To the near and far West, Colorado has become California-Lite and irredeemable, Arizona needs to get its illegal problem settled before they bleed the place totally dry, but Washington and California are sinking fast and nothing short of a miracle can save them. And if I hear one more local politician here bragging on how they've "investigated Seattle's mass transit and are bringing the good idea's home to Florida", I may very well become a violent man.

Florida AG proposes even tougher-than-Arizona law against illegal immigrants

Florida (Reuters) - Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum on Wednesday proposed legislation that would toughen law enforcement measures against illegal immigrants in the melting-pot southeastern U.S. state.

One of the things the proposed law would do, is to make it mandatory for less than proactive cops to determine the citizenship standing of a suspected illegal alien. Taking a cue from the pitfalls Arizona is experiencing, judges would be given templates from which to set bail, lengths of incarceration, and means by which to deport illegals.

Florida, like most states, is schizophrenic in nature. From Miami, and up north-eastwards to the borders of Boca Raton, the illegal Cuban influence has made the state Castro-North. From Boca to the rim of Jacksonville's influence, Florida is old South and then some. God-fearing, homey folks who mind their own business and work their fingers to the bone to build and maintain a healthy family oriented environment. Jacksonville itself is, like most of America's larger cities, crime central, and where there is crime there are illegal immigrants.

The monkey wrench in enacting such a law is therefore the Miami-Jacksonville connection, the same one that squeaked the state into the Obama column during the 2008 Presidential election. So that's what we're up against. And why I really don't see the law being as illegal-proof as so stated, but virtually anything is better than the no-habla-englace one is up against without doing something to stop the spread of this deadly disease.

Barry and his masters will scream to the high heavens and anything that initiates so delightful a situation is worth its weight in gold.

How Large Is Michelle Obama's "Staff"?

Plenty Large...Read It And Weep

"In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said. "See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, " Michelle Obama.

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:

I have no idea what Michelle Obama is referring to with her "left my job at a big law firm for a career in public service.", as her no-show hospital job as diversity specialist...paying her $400,000 per year, mind you... has yet to be re-filled since her leaving for the White House. Maybe she thinks that hiring all of the following people is a "public service".

1. $172,2000 - Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)

2. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)

3. $113,000 - Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)

4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)

5. Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

6. $90,000 - Medina, David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)

8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)

9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)

10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

11. Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)

12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)

13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)

14. Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)

15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)

16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)

17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)

18. Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)

19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)

20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)

21. Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)

22. Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

The combined annual salaries for the 22 staffers we can specifically identify as working for Michelle Obama come to $1.6 million. For the 18 we could identify as working for Laura Bush in 2008, the total is $1.4 million.

On second thought, Laura Bush was a gorgeous First Lady, and certainly didn't need as many staffers, particularly the ones whose jobs entailed keeping her foot out of her mouth or pimping her hair, etc, etc. Laura could have somehow found a way to survive with less...even though her charitable work was quite detailed and Michelle's in non-existent...and Michelle is, sorry to say, butt-ugly and stupid. Way more of a high-maintenance First Lady. 

I mean, hey now, just the job of cutting off the sleeves from alla them tops and dresses has got to be a full-time job for a gang of seamstresses.

Also, please note that the above information is not up-to-date with regards to the voluminous staff that accompanied Michelle to Spain this month, as it entailed far more Secret Service staffers than usual because of the high risk of travel abroad, particularly when a WAR IS BEING FOUGHT AND BRAVE MEN ARE DYING EVERY DAY.

There'll Be Some Changes Made...

Thanks to everyone who has been taking the First Annual Fits Needs To Know Just How Much His Blog Sucks, poll. While the majority, so far, have offered that they like things the way they are, I myself feel that a better look is in order.

Change not just for change like President Shitforbrains,  but for improvement.

For example:

There should be a clear delineation between postings, one of the problems I've admitted to in the past and made an effort to correct but this particular template brooks no interference. One posting can run into the following posting and let's face it, not all of the folks who enter here are spring chickens that couldn't use some assistance in following the written word.

The Header stinks, plain and simple. The writing under it cannot be highlighted or capitalized or emboldened or separated by spacing. Like the posts themselves, things just sort of run together and that takes the proper emphasis away from that which I wish to emphasize.

The side columns cannot be placed in anything resembling a orderly progression..think correct alignment.

Titles and or headers to individual posts have no snap to them, no pizazz, no, hey pally, look at me. I like my titles to brazenly call attention to what follows, impossible to do with this template, that is what it is, and cannot be corrected like the newer ones can.

All of the above and more have demanded reconstruction, and that will soon happen.

Also, I've recently joined a Podcasting service, and will try to offer a podcast or two every now and again. Something basic at first, something like my reading of a headline in Barack Obama's voice. You know, something as ridiculous as it is nauseating.

I do not write for myself. Gave that up with masturbation. Participating in a society, a cause, an America, to me means calling attention to what other likeminded people want to see and hear and experience. The comment sections here have forever been, and will remain, open to all without moderation or interference of any sort. Except for the time or two I somehow accidentally banned Hyunchback and myself with one swell foop. The place will never take advertisement for pay, nothing dramatically against it, just not for me.

Initially, I wanted this to be some sort of a gun blog. Since I like pictures they were included whenever possible. Up until my lawyer/insurance dude warned me that certain policies might not pay were the powers that be made aware of my proclivity to tell the bad guys where to look for illgotten gains. At first I was like, who cares, but there IS a logic to some things, a responsibility that grownups have to face.

People have asked if The Hogtown Irregulars are real. Yes. And Gainesville WAS first known as Hogtown, and there remain creeks and roadways and forested areas that are still called Hogtown. I'd post a pic or two but then again someone might steal Hogtown Creek and the cops would blame me.

Ever since Barack Hussein pulled the presidency out from under our feet and directed his intelligence services to treat Patriots like common criminals, I no longer publish any names, or even call attention to things like the neatass machinegun shoot we enjoyed to no end. The Irregulars is now a dues-paying organization; $20 bucks a month or whatever you can afford and it all goes to purchase ammunition. We like target shooting a lot. Any and all fully automatic weapon systems are legal and licensed, and NO ONE shoots who doesn't pay the strictest attention to safety. As we all know, gun control is leaning how to control your gun and not how to discriminate against those who cannot afford armed bodyguards like the president and his cronies. If these phonies were truly against firearms then THEIR security forces would be armed with harsh words and little else.

Not gonna happen because some folks believe themselves to be more important than other folks.

At heart though, I'm not a gunblogger or a political blogger or some cranky millblogger, or a fashion maven, even though I am always the best dressed man in the room. I'm an old Marine who still loves his country and wants only the best for it. Whatever it takes to call attention to the ones who do not love the country and would hurt it, well, that's what we'll keep an eye on here.

NYPD Pop-Guns Take Down Shooter...And Even One Of Their Own

The bullet that nearly killed a police officer during a wild Harlem shootout this morning came from another cop’s gun, officials said.

 The .9mm police bullet was left embedded in his vest — which city officials credited with saving his life.

More Yellowstream journalism. The officer in question had a small mark under the spot on his vest where the 9mm Gold Dot impacted. He at no point in time was "nearly killed", seriously injured, or in any way incapacitated. Let's continue...

Authorities said Tedeschi and the other cops opened fire on alleged gunman Angel Alvarez, 22, who shot a man at the massive party in a dispute over a woman before shooting at police.

Alvarez, 22, absorbed 21 police bullets, cops said.

You read it correctly. The scumbag was hit 21 times and is still kicking. More proof that the 9mm is an ineffective manstopper, and one of the reasons cops unload their handguns into a suspect. It takes a village to stop one skinny punk so of course they shoot their loads, and even at times reload. If the skell dies, then the cops were being animals; if he lives, then Sharpton waits to see if he does die before planning protests over police brutality.

 

Doesn't help that most cops can't hit the broadside of a barn. From the inside.

It's A Lengthy Poll So Please Vote As Often As You Want For Whatever Rings Your Bell

Blatent Slimey White House Press Secretary Lie Of The Year...So Far

"The First Lady is a private citizen and we don't comment on her vacations..."

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs answering a reporters question about Queen Michelle's horrendously expensive "vacation".

Hey Bobby? Since when did private citizens have AirForce 2 available for their every whim and desire? And if so, how do I get on the list? While we're at it, put me down for alla those Secret Service dudes, too. Can't see a damned thing abroad nowadays with all those little people getting in the way.

Ruminations Upon A Desultory Philippic

Or...The Past As Seen From The Future

I've always been a glass is half full sort of man. Hells bells, but as far as I could tell, so were most Americans. I lived through the peaceful...for those not sent to Korea...50's, the awakening 60's, the sorry-ass 70's and the dreadfully dull 80's. All the 90's were about was talk of the millennium so they don't even count. Mainly because Bill Clinton dominated the political scene and the nation strove mightily to understand a man speaking from both sides of his mouth but never quite did figure out why so lowbrow an individual was elected to begin with.

Where this is leading to, is, for once, the future doesn't look all that bright and cheery to me. I've had my wars and wouldn't want to fight another one for love or money but there are battles a'comin' ladies and germs, make no mistake about it.

It takes a grandiose scheme or event to shake a country free from enslavement because slaves fall into a pattern of, if not liking slavery, then at least tolerating it fairly well thank you very much. The enslaved black men and women brought from Africa to America didn't even truly begin to fight their way free until the event of Northern Aggression paved the way.The Pope had to leave Rome and visit Poland to begin million-man marches before the Poles aroused enough gumption to spit in the eyes of their oppressors. The common thread being it usually takes a brand new straw to stir the drink of freedom but this time around the charge of the light brigade is going to come from the North, South, East, and West, and everyplace in between.

The democrat party, you see, fell in love with the idea of a new sort of slavery, and since they own the universities and the unions and the media, that particular idea is not going the way of the Dodo anytime soon. The long awaited exhale after the stench of the Clinton years finally blew out to sea, but lo and behold the democrats searched high and low, settled for low, and brought us Barry.

Barry is even worse than Billy. Yeah, yeah, its a toss up as to who has the uglier spouse, but at least Barry has some beautiful kids so that breaks the run of homeliness pitter pattering its way throughout the White House.

But no one is more ugly inside than Barry. Even Billy would rein in the dogs when the polls went drastically awry, but disfavor actually seems to invigorate Barry and his masters. The more we stand our ground and growl, the more they try pulling us, kicking and screaming over to the dark side. Sure, when all is said and done he'll be gone by 2013 but who's next? How do you top the Barack Obama presidency? Remember when we thought that Jimmy Carter was as bad as it could get? When Bill Clinton made all men of good will want to hurl chunks?

Obama is head and shoulders above those reprobates, head and shoulders. But just as he made his predecessors seem tame by comparison, the next Barack will strive ever the more mightily to do Barry one up.

I just don't think we'll take it. It's bound to happen, though. We'll have a Republican Presidency for a term or two, maybe even three, but remember how Barack got in. He snookered the weak amongst us, snookered them but good, and guess what, the same sort of snookeries will be once again ripe for full frontal snookerations all over again.

Only a matter or time. Because some people don't get it, until IT beats them about the head and shoulder area with great force and rapidity. To them its a game, great sport to force feed one lunatic after another upon a half asleep nation.

But Barry woke us up. And my glass is half full. In my lifetime, there will be states looking to secede from The Union. When men come to the irrefutable conclusion that the jig is up and some folks simply CANNOT learn from their mistakes, these same men will, in the course of human events, move to divorce themselves from the weaklings who for love or money simply CAN'T get it RIGHT. As long as there's a California and New York and Illinois and half a dozen other dirty places, the next Barack Obama is just around the corner. Coming straight at us and pushed ever onwards by a sea of unrepentant daydreamers, starry-eyed and legs a'tingle for their new found love.

I'll be in my 70's then. Won't have what it takes to lead men by example. Not that the next fracas won't need cannon fodder, all ones do, and its either that or surrender but my Daddy didn't raise no Frenchman in disguise. You all will still need me and them like me because we'll cover your ass like its never been covered before, and give you the time to regroup. Bottom line is, its coming, so lead follow or learn to work that Lee. Good Lord willing, some of us might even catch up so keep the Polygrip dry and the ceegars moist.

And While We're At It...How's The PRIOR Liberal First Lady Doing?

Rodham Donates $10 Bucks To Pakistani Relief Fund

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pressed Americans on Wednesday to donate money to flood relief efforts in Pakistan, saying she is leading by example and just made a $10 donation herself.

“I just texted a contribution myself, because we know from our own experience, particularly in Haiti, small donations can add up to make a big difference,” Clinton told reporters on Wednesday.

A $10 charitable contribution. After a $5 million dollar wedding for her pooch daughter, and who knows how many hundreds of thousands for an additional Secret Service presence, and how many MILLIONS for closing down the airspace over the big party.

Thanks to I Hate The Media, where more of the story can be found, but don't click the link to The Hill, as it was inoperative for me.

Kagan Slithers Through

Now A Supreme Court Justess

And our vaunted Republican "allies" didn't filibuster as some of them promised. Bastards. Politics aside, isn't it just as easy hiring a comely woman as it is an ugly one?

Just Another Reason To Despise The Obamas

Michelle Obama Criticized as "Modern-day Marie Antoinette" Over Spain Vacation

"Michelle Obama seems more like a modern-day Marie Antoinette - the French queen who spent extravagantly on clothes and jewels without a thought for her subjects' plight - than an average mother of two," she writes. "... I don't begrudge anyone rest and relaxation when they work hard. We all need downtime - the First Family included. It's the extravagance of Michelle Obama's trip and glitzy destination contrasted with President Obama's demonization of the rich that smacks of hypocrisy and perpetuates a disconnect between the country and its leaders."

According to the White House, Mrs. Obama is traveling with minimal staff and a small group of family friends for a mother daughter trip long in the works. 

The FIrst Lady's press office referred to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' statement at the White House briefing yesterday that "the First Lady is on a private trip." 

"She is a private citizen and is the mother of a daughter on a private trip," he said. "And I think I'd leave it at that."

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain - one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One - operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 - double for the round trip.

The White House says that as a policy, official trips by the first family are paid by the government but all personal elements paid are personally. Since this is a private trip, the White House seems to be suggesting that the Obamas are personally paying all costs associated with the vacation. 

But there appears to be some wiggle room there, in part because the Secret Service must protect the First Family, and the cost to taxpayers would presumably go up during travel"

Yet another call to despise these "people" unto even the ground they walk on.

Shelly booked 70 rooms...count 'em..70...at $2300 a night apiece for her and her friends, that's a full one-third of the hotel, mind you, while the State Department was running in circles trying desperately to remove the Traveler Warning for Spain.

Yes indeed. Spain was listed for a while as a destination for Americans to shun, due to its "intolerance towards African-Americans", something done to please the current occupiers of the White House. The big WHOOPS went up when they forgot to take down the warning before the First-Ugly's trip, but the Spanish people were made well aware of how our Racist-In-Chief felt about them, hence the necessity to pretty much triple the usual Secret Service protection.

These walking, talking, monstrosities can't even go on a vacation without screwing the pooch. Here's hoping old thunder-thighs, you know, the gal who thinks other people should be skinnier than her because, well, she SAYS so, doesn't go hog-wild and piss off the Continent even more so than the Continent is already pissed off at us. 

Yeah; how cool is THAT. The Euro's are hating the Obo's almost as much as we do.

Kismet.

And Now For Something Completely Different...

Irene Andersen. Professional bodybuilder. Now, lots of "sports" can be somewhat controversial, but female bodybuilding has taken quite a turn...I say for the worse...from the days of Cory Everson who was merely a well built gal who packed on some muscle.

So....

Yay, or nay?

Is Irene the prototype for the future female?

Drunken illegal alien, awaiting deportation kills nun in Va.

On Sunday, Prince William County police arrested Carlos A. Martinelly Montano, 23, after he slammed head on into a car in which three Benedictine nuns were traveling. Sister Denise Mosier was killed instantly, her two companions were taken by helicopter to the hospital where they both remain in critical condition.

According to spokesman Jonathan Perok, Prince William County Police notified ICE after both his first and second DUI arrests. The department is now investigating how the illegal alien was able to obtain a valid driver’s license.

So how's about a great big DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. 

If one has the right connections, meaning the wherewithal's to influence politicians and government workers to break the law, it's easier for an illegal to get a drivers license than it is for you or me to get a drivers license.

Princess William County Police, since they have no balls whatsoever, did not throw this scumbag in jail because, well because Princess William County itself has no balls whatsoever. 

Not like Virginia, proud state though it once was, is anything akin to Arizona, dontcha know. Even their proposed new law only allows for the cops to CHECK the status of an immigrant, but, so far, says nothing about sending him to the deepest bowls of hell...namely back to Mexico...on the next bus out of town.

Virginia cops KNEW this guy was bad news. What good is identifying the enemy then doing nothing about his penchant for raping and murdering our women and children?

Huffington Post Worried About Their Superman

One of the reasons to frequent I Hate The Media, other than I hate the media, too, is the fact that they read such odious tomes as the Huffington Post, and critique them with aplomb.

“Obama’s very strength, it turns out, can be a weakness. After his fast rise against enormous odds, many people actually seem to believe that he is superhuman — that he should be able instantly to unite the country, solve unemployment, end wars and terrorism and while he’s at it, fix health care and end pandemics.”

HUFFINGTON POST

"So the fact that he is not a superhuman allows him to fail at all of the above? That’s an excuse we never even thought of using. “Sorry I got straight F’s, Ma, but I’m not superhuman you know.”

I HATE THE MEDIA

The obligatory coolass picture is usually, well, coolass, and I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know that something other than tasteless fruits and vegetables, gutter-grape leavings disguised as wine, and posing lunatic politicians come from California.

The Fight Against Ka-Gan Continues

Incredibly Stupid Man Named Leahy Blames Republicans For Ka-Gan's Lack Of Judicial Experience

"Sen. Jeff Sessions said Tuesday that Elena Kagan may be better suited to deal with students and faculty than the daily work of the Supreme Court, while Sen. Patrick Leahy defended her lack of judicial experience by blaming Republicans.

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D.-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, blamed Republicans for criticizing her lack of judicial experience because “they are themselves responsible.”



“President Clinton nominated her to the D.C. Circuit in 1999 and it was Senate Republicans who refused to consider her nomination,” Leahy said in his remarks on the Senate floor. “Had they done so, she would have more than 10 years of judicial experience.”

"Leahy would be an experienced doctor, if he spent the last 10 years in surgery, but doesn't mean I'm gonna let him operate on me," a senior GOP aide said in response to Leahy's statement."

How the people of Vermont continue to send Pat-The-Rat Leahy to Washington is a wonder unto itself, because despite being first elected way back in 1974...with a glitch here and there thrown in whenever Vermontonians regained their senses...The Rat STILL doesn't know what America or its Constitution is all about. 

Proving conclusively that time plays absolutely NO part in being proficient at anything, when one is incapable of following the most rudimentary of instructions.

But should Ka-Gan sail on through despite being proven to be unfit for anything even resembling a judgeship, the bright side of so otherwise despicable a picture is that it gives Patriots all the more reason to break their backs in getting Conservatives elected to public office, with the ultimate goal of removing the Undocumented-Worker-In-Chief* from our White House.

Because, despite what Rats like Leahy believe, the White House and the Government belong to us. And, by an overwhelming majority, we do not want that horrible woman anywhere near the Supreme Court.

We Get Letters...

"My son,(name deleted to protect both the Marine and his family: Fits) 

in Helmand Province called yesterday(28th) which is his 20th birthday , 

he had just come back from an op with the rip force and called home. 

They spent the entire night in security of an MRAP which hit an IED and 

had wounded ,this happened about 2100 the night before, they sat there 

til 0600 the next morning  because helos could not be used as medevac 

because of ROE( it might disturb the talibans sleep) so they
had to get them out via ground. I find this unacceptable for our Marines to
not be given the fastest medevac possible whether Afghan civilians die or
lose sleep or whatever,they(Marines) should be the highest priority. 

If we are going to fight with
one hand tied behind our backs like Viet Nam we can expect the same scene on
the embassy roof in Kabul in a year or two that we had in April
1975 in RVN. The ROEs should be kill the bad guys and try your best not to
get the good guys. We all know it happens-thats war its not  a science, it's
an art. Science gives you a predictable outcome given variables and
controlled conditions , an art is imprecise as is war. 

Are there no officers
willing to get these roes changed? I pity the Lts and Capts who have to do
the heavy lifting in the field and have to explain this chickenshit to their
Marines. If we are not going to fight to win -we should get out now and not
lose another American, then when we are all out drop, an ICBM on the place."

The ROE's (Rules Of Engagement) in Afghanistan are problematic. To say the least.

The above email has been kicked all the way up to the Commandant of the Marine

Corps, with the typical "he-said, they-said" back and forth that tends to

cloud over lots of things coming from in-country.

Regardless, it has become very clear that the standing order for "compassionate response" has

superseded the usual USMC method of kill-em-all-and-let-God-sort-it-out manner of getting jobs

done. Oh, and sorry for the messed up  formatting. Copying and pasting military emails can be 

the shit. 

Stutterer-In-Chief Mumbles On....

“What we can’t do is allow a patchwork of 50 different states, or cities or localities, where anybody wants to make a name for themselves suddenly says, ‘I’m going to be anti-immigrant, and I’m going to try to see if I can solve the problem ourself.’”

It's easy to see that Barry the O was not the recipient of a good education. Simply check out the above statement, given as a reply to a CBS interview regarding his feelings towards Arizona's anti-ILLEGAL immigrant law.

"..I'm going to try to see if I can solve the problem ourself", is the sort of incorrect jungle-jingle one would expect from an illegal immigrant who wasn't all that well versed with American English. Then again, the Hemmer & Hawwer in-chief is well known for his inability to communicate sans teleprompter, and if he has not learned how to speak by now, he simply ain't a'gonna.

His ilk does prove time and again how truly destructive, disruptive, and outright ludicrous, all of these affirmative-action-edumacation's have had upon those inflicted with just-slide-by gutter speak in place of genuine learning. Once upon a time, long, long ago, someone bragging about being well educated had to at the very least SEEM to be.

Be so kind as to head on over to Red State to immerse yourself in the full Monte of Barack Obama's "Shameless and Hypocritical Lying".

Gun Control Lunatics Making Up "Facts" About Concealed Carry

by John R. Lott Jr.

People walking the streets armed with guns must be dangerous, right? The Brady Campaign and the Violence Policy Center keep claiming that even those individuals who have legally obtained permits to carry concealed handguns are extremely dangerous. With millions of Americans already having been issued such permits from the various states, this is an important issue.

The gun control organizations have frequently made these claims in the press. The Associated Press articles by Erik Schelzig and by Jim Abrams have given extensive, uncritical coverage. Members of the gun control organizations have made these claims unchallenged on such places as Fox News and on the Huffington Post. But the gun control advocates inaccurately describe many shooting cases, choosing to ignore that the majority of incidents involve people properly defending themselves.

Take Florida, which currently has the most concealed handgun permit holders in the country and is one of the two most populous states with right-to-carry laws. Between Oct. 1, 1987, and May 31 this year, permits had been issued to 1.8 million people. On average, the permits had been held for quite a long time, well over 10 years. For all those individuals across the more than 22 years of legal carry, there were only 167 cases where the permit was revoked for a firearms related violation, or about 0.01 percent of permit holders. While the state doesn’t provide a precise breakdown of the reason for those revocations, the vast majority were apparently for people who accidentally carried their concealed handgun into a gun-free zone, such as an airport or school.

Throughout the past 30 months, beginning January 2008, only three additional permit holders have had their permit revoked for a firearms-related violation. With more than 739,000 active permit holders, that is an annual revocation rate of 0.00017 percent.

It bears repeating time and again, that the most polite and law abiding of folks are ones with CCW permits. The Brady Bunchers and other dirty people take perfectly legal acts and incorporate them into scare stories to frighten the uninformed. Time was when that meant most of America, back when we received our information from the Yellowstream Media.

Not any more, gang. The Brady's have been busted so often they've begun selling off their big-money contact information to the highest bidders. They no longer frighten knowledgeable men of good will.

And another thank-you to Of Arms and the Law.

Chicago: Where Criminals No Longer Fear the Police

Tuesday, reporters Mark Konkol and Frank Main examined the violent incidents that occurred over a single weekend in Chicago two years ago. During that 59-hour period, from April 18 -20, 2008, forty people were shot in the city, seven of them fatally. Stop and consider that for a moment: one city, one weekend, seven people murdered, and 33 others shot but still alive.

As horrifying as those numbers are, they are far from the most disturbing revelation in the Sun-Times series. You might assume that such an extraordinary outbreak of carnage would have aroused the citizenry in Chicago to demand swift action from their police, prosecutors, and elected officials to see to it that those responsible for the violence were brought to justice. You might assume so, that is, if you don’t live in Chicago.

As it happens, not a single suspect in any of those shootings has been convicted of a crime.

And so it should surprise no one that in a city where there is little risk of consequences for shooting and even killing someone, people tend to be shot and killed with greater frequency than elsewhere. Chicago’s murder rate, i.e., the number of murders per 100,000 residents, is twice that of Los Angeles and almost three times that of New York. Comparisons among the three cities’ statistics for robberies and aggravated assaults are similarly lopsided. (Chicagoans might find some comfort in the knowledge that the murder rate in Detroit is almost twice as high as theirs, and New Orleans’s is more than three times as high.)

Gun control in towns like Chicago means controlling the average citizens' right to fight back. The more gun control,  the more crime. And of course lets not forget the ever so frightened constabulary that is, seemingly, even more afraid of honest men with guns than criminals.

They can't handle the heat, refuse to "allow" their people to help by protecting themselves and their families and property, and have been painted into a messy corner.

Couldn't happen to a better city.

Last one out of Chicago please don't forget to turn out the lights.  Gotta stay green dontcha know.


And thanks to Of Arms and the Law for the link.
