Public Service Announcement For Frost Cutlery...

Seeing as how Mr. Todd Boone was unfamiliar with the new Frost knife they've named the 'Lachlainn', I'm more than happy to pass this along:

World of Warcraft. "Lachlainn the Fighting Dog". Suitable, isn't it?

Cue Twilight Zone Music...Roll Cutlery Corner...

"...um, well, ah, ah, um, well, this here's a doctor's knife but they're callin' it a pasitions knife. P-p-p-pie-piesition? A fancy way to say 'doctor'? Huh? Well they're spellin' it p-h-y-s-i-c-i-a-n-s. What? Some kind of Latin word for doctor, maybe? Phy-sition? Let's just call it the pie-sitions knife then. What? Well it starts with a 'p' so it's got to be pie-somethin', right? Uh-huh. Sure. The 'h' is silent then. P-or-pie-sition."

Mr. Todd Boone

Here's the deal in a nutshell:

Certain HMO's and insurance companies in Florida have been pushing doctor's to inquire about firearms in a patients household. To their credit, many doctor's have either refused to do so, or told their patients that they did not have to answer the question but he had to ask. While others have gleefully jumped on the liberal bandwagon and are asking totally inappropriate questions that are NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

This is nothing less than an end-around gun grab.

Senate Bill 432, introduced by Senator Greg Evers (R-2)was heard yesterday, February 22 in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee and PASSED by a vote of 4 to 1.

SB 432 would stop anti-gun doctors from asking children and parents if they own guns and then telling them to get rid of their guns.  It further stops doctors from denying care to children if the parents refuse to answer questions about gun ownership.

This bill is designed to make doctors practice medicine NOT practice gun ban politics in their examination rooms.  As a parent or a patient you have a right to protect your privacy about gun ownership.  How many guns you own and where they are stored is your personal and private information.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is pushing its anti-gun agenda of banning and removing guns from homes in Florida.

Voting to uphold the law and the Constitution and to protect your firearms rights were the following:

Senator Greg Evers (R-2)  evers.greg.web@flsenate.gov
Senator Charlie Dean (R-3)  dean.charles.web@flsenate.gov
Senator Andy Gardiner(R-9) gardiner.andy.web@flsenate.gov
Senator Chris Smith (D-29) smith.chris.web@flsenate.gov

(Senator Gardiner was substituting for Senator Paula Dockery (R) who had an excused illness.)

Voting against protecting the privacy rights of gun owners:

Senator Gwen Margolis (D-35) margolis.gwen@web.flsenate.gov

We've been warned, the word is out, and these SOB's aren't going to win. And yes; unfortunately, the majority of political anti-gunners are female and simply know better than the rest of us as to how to raise the kids.

Environmentalist fraud and manslaughter

DDT and other insecticides to combat malaria. Up to half a billion people are infected annually by this vicious disease, nearly a million die, countless survivors are left with permanent brain damage, and 90 percent of this carnage is in sub-Saharan Africa, the most impoverished region on Earth.

These chemicals don’t cure malaria — they prevent it. Used properly, they are effective, and safe. DDT is particularly important. Sprayed once or twice a year on the inside walls of homes, DDT keeps 80 percent of mosquitoes from entering, irritates those that do enter, so they leave without biting, and kills any that land. No other chemical, at any price, can do this.

Even better, DDT has few adverse side effects — except minor, speculative and imaginary “risks” that are trumpeted on anti-pesticide websites. In the interest of saving lives, one would think eco activists would tone down their “ban DDT” disinformation. However, that is unlikely.

Finish reading the story here. If you've a strong enough stomach, and don't mind the fact that a million poor people die every year just to be absolutely, positively, beyond a shadow of a doubt certain, that some eagle eggs might somehow suffer even though there is no scientific connection whatsoever.

Wednesday Funny Paper

Messenger Exclusive: Michael Yon Discovers From Whence Frost Cutlery Will Be Importing Their New Pot-Steels...

States Against Obamacare...

On Feb. 17, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell took a stand against the continued implementation of the unconstitutional ObamaCare by the federal government in the wake of Federal Judge Roger Vinson’s ruling overturning the law. He announced that “We will not proceed down an unlawful course to implement this law. The court’s declaratory judgment that the federal health-care law is unconstitutional is the law of the land as it applies to Alaska.”

Parnell said implementing the voided law would violate his oath. He’s right. Now Parnell joins the company of both Florida Governor Rick Scott and Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen who have taken similar stands affirming the Vinson ruling.

On Feb. 16, Americans for Limited Government (ALG) had sent a letter to Governor Parnell and 27 other state governors a party to the Florida and Virginia suits, plus New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, urging them to take immediate action against the implementation of new regulatory processes forbidden by Judge Vinson’s ruling.

Two things; Where is Texas on this? What will RINO Chris (spit) Christie do? I think that Texas is busily crossing the t's and dotting the i's. I also think that Chris (spit) Christie doesn't dare act too conservative in what is one of our most liberal of states.

The Messenger Stumbles Yet Again

Stepmom Indicted in Death of N.C. Girl as Autopsy Reveals Her Head Is Still Missing

Dreadful story. Amazing that they had to conduct an autopsy in order to determine that the head was missing.

Then there's this:

Police eventually found the girl's remains in different places around western North Carolina, and Elisa Baker told authorities that she had been dismembered according to warrants.

Try as I might, I had no luck in finding "warrants" detailing the proper method for dismemberment. 

Record Valentine's Day Alligator Gar

Looking for all the world like the cross between an alligator, a fish and dinosaur, the alligator gar is the largest freshwater fish in America. And with two rows of teeth, the predatory fish is also terrifying.

So you can imagine his surprise when Kenny Williams, from Vicksburgh, Miss., stumbled across what is being called the largest one ever caught on February 14. The tremendous fish measured 8 feet, 5 inches long, weighed 327 pounds, and was 48 inches around, reported WAPT.com. 

 

Wow. I wonder what the record is for February 15th?

Republicans On The March...

Republicans are on the march in Congress.  Late last week, House Republicans passed a budget bill containing $61 billion in cuts.  It's not the $100 billion that conservatives aimed for, but it's substantial and can be considered a down payment.  The House Republican proposal now goes to the Senate.  The budget process wrangling is just in its first phase.  Moving forward, the GOP will have multiple opportunities to push more cuts. 

And look what else House Republicans are doing.  They're using the budget process to hamstring Obamacare by denying it funding.  Shutting down and then nixing ObamaCare would be an historic victory in the fight to end liberalism's nearly hundred-year dominance; it would be one of those critical turning points in history -- like Vicksburg and Gettysburg -- a momentum shifter that leads to other key victories, such as entitlements reform.

Also, Indiana Republican Mike Pence offered and passed an amendment cutting funding for the odious abortion mill called Planned Parenthood.  Another amendment, offered by Oregon Republican Greg Walden, that passed, chokes off funds for the Federal Communications Commission's net-neutrality gambit.  Net -neutrality would concentrate more power in the FCC's hands and stymie free speech across the internet.  Net-neutrality could well have been made in China. 

Of course, the revolution just beginning isn't confined to the Halls of Congress.  Chris Christie* (spit), New Jersey's intrepid Republican governor, fired the first shots last year in the burgeoning struggle to bring sanity back to state affairs.  Christie's efforts aren't limited to balancing state budgets and reining in taxes, important as those things are.  Christie is working to limit government and expand the playing field for the private sector.  As we're seeing, government without proper limits is a ruinous beast.  California is a prime example.     

Now newly elected Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is making headlines because he dares to say that his state is broke and that the public employees' gravy train needs to end.  Governor Walker wants to end collective bargaining for public employees, excepting police and firefighters, on the simple, common sense premise that employees shouldn't be negotiating the hours they work, among other things. 

In Ohio, Governor John Kasich is gearing up to slash budgets, rollback taxes, cut regulations, and confront the Buckeye State's public employee unions.  There'll be fireworks aplenty in Columbus.

All this is good and well but never forget how beholding Ma and Pa Kettle are to the Mainstream (spit) Media. Which of course is totally on the side of those poor teachers who are starving in a van down by the river. One of the biggest reasons we're in this mess to begin with is Mammy and Pappy's need to stride the fence and cringe whenever real men decide to call a halt to the proceedings. Already there's rumblings of compromise, meaning of course that you just forget whatever it is that you stand for and let the other side...namely the badguys...win.

Throughout history, no one who has EVER been right has had to compromise.

* Republican Governor Rick Scott has said that he'll gladly sign any bill from the Florida legislature that legalizes open-carry.

Republican in name only Chris Christie (spit) has said that there will never be concealed carry for the common person, EVER, in New Jersey.

Finally: Something ELSE To Do With All Those GLOCK Magazines And AR Parts You've Been Hoarding...

Just released! JR (Just Right) 40S&W Carbines. They feature a 16 inch barrel, flat top upper with a AR style quad rail forend and collapsible stock. This firearm uses Glock 9mm magazines.*

 

Specifications:

* Caliber 40S&W
* Ambidextrous (bolt charging handle and ejector/ejection port)
* Glock magazine included
* Simple and reliable blowback operation
* Lightweight 16 1/4 Inch tri-flatted barrel design for stability and cooling during rapid fire

* Overall length: butt stock extended 33 Inch, collapsed 30 Inch * All AR15 accessories are compatible with flat top receiver & quad rail forend * Made in the U.S.A. in New York.

*Well obviously a .40 caliber carbine won't take 9mm magazines but aside from that the fella's over at J&G Sales have got themselves a winner. 

And this carbine isn't just for giggles and grins. A suitable .40 caliber round has the ballistics of a 7.62X39 (think AK-47) and is actually designed...gasp...for stopping people, not varmints.

With any kind of luck I'll be shooting one soon...won't be buying until I get a feel for how they work...and reporting back. If I remember.

Oh and yeah; I've done business with J&G and they're first rate.

Man shot dead for eating popcorn too loudly during movie

Police said they had arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of shooting a 42-year-old fellow audience member who later died of his wounds.

The conflict took place as the credits rolled during a screen of the Oscar-nominated film "Black Swan", according to police in the Baltic state.

Witnesses told the Latvian news agency Leta that it arose over how loudly the deceased man was eating his popcorn.

The inconsiderate behavior of fellow moviegoers is one of the reasons we rarely go to flicks anymore. I've oft times suggested that each individual seat should have a sort of ejection device capable of catapulting the occupant somewhere nasty should enough people target his or her location as warranting drastic action.

Shooting is good too though.

Wish Us Luck

So here's the deal. Come Tuesday, the Florida senate will begin deliberation on Senate Bill 234. 

The bill will create A) open-carry for anyone in possession of a Concealed Weapon Permit. B) Remove the prohibition of carrying on college campuses. C) Tidy up the weapons-in-vehicle parking lot law, and allow the purchase of long guns from other states without an act of Congress. Too little freedom, too much paperwork, too many uninformed members of law enforcement, equals a chinese fire drill of epic proportions and Bill 234 will address some of these issues.

Basically, if a cop sees a bulge in your shirt and that bulge covers a firearm he can write you up for open carry, and while it doesn't happen all that often once is once too much, so allowing open-carry will put that bad actor to rest. The current law says that concealed-carry means carrying in a manner to conceal, and since using a word to define itself is flat out stupid and the original framers of the law thought police would simply employ common sense, we want want everyone to land together on planet earth. Understanding that if it isn't spelled out in no uncertain terms, some cop, some where, will take it upon himself to lock up an innocent man.

This has been a time consuming endeavor but worth every last second of angst. Between me and you, I don't think we'll get the whole nine yards but open-carry would be a damned good start.

66 Years Ago On Iwo Jima

Operation Detachment, otherwise known as the battle for Iwo Jima, began this day in 1945. 18,000 Imperial Japanese troops faced approximately 70,000 Marines, of which my Father was one. After 35 days, 216 Japanese soldiers were all that was left of the Imperial forces, with close to 7,000 Marines killed and over 19,000 wounded.

Valentine's Day Is Over So It's Time To "Commemorate" Something Or SomeONE Else...

Cutlery Corner began celebrating Valentines Day 2 weeks before the fact, and I was curious as to what they'd replace that particular holiday with in order to sell off as many chinaman-made pot steel products as humanly possible:

But the 10th anniversary of Dale Earnhardt's death has arrived and not a moment too soon, so....

"...now Dale was named as the Intimador (Intimidator), and I've never not seen a knife like this..." Todd Boone

"That's raht (right) Todd, last tahm (time) I seen Dale we were standin' by his car holler (hauler) in Atlanta and ole Dale was sahnin' (signing) autoygraffs (autographs) left and raht (right), so's in his memry (memory) Ah'm gonna read off some names of people who've called me and told me hows much they admired Dale and all our knaavs (knives) made fer him. Now don't be upset as I read off them names cuz I'm terrible at misspelling names..."

These are the same folks who came up with the September 11th Commemorative Special, complete with one of the Twin Towers etched on the blade. The same folks who were pushing the SouthWEST Asian War Commemorative Knife right on up till enough Vietnam Vets called to tell them that the war was fought in SouthEAST Asia. We also asked them to learn what the word "commemorative" actually meant, for as far as I know, nary a person aside from Jane Fonda celebrates our loses in Vietnam.

Well, Jane Fonda and Frost Cutlery. If it'll dishonor a veteran or sell a knife. But as Todd is fond of saying, it's all a mute point.

Mr. James A. Frost appears to be keeping time with Mr. Boone for the remainder of the morning, so I do believe I'll VDR the rest and give myself a break from those who cannot read, write, or speak English yet have accumulated untold wealth scamming the ignorant.

So Where IS All That Sunshine Obama Was Going To Bring To The World?

Ahmadinejad: Obama can't spell his own name

 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacked Barack Obama on Friday, saying the American president "doesn't even know how to spell his own name properly."

During a visit to Bushehr ahead of a scheduled rally in support of his regime, the Iranian leader said, "Obama wants to rule the world, but he can't even control his own emotions."

Sweet moses on a pogo. I agree with Imadinnerjacket. Better see if I can find a Kennedy and ask what the temperature in hell is.
