Toy Gun Licensing

Australia to License Toy Guns

ANY ITEM that looks like a gun will have to be licensed under several changes to the Weapons Act being considered by the Queensland State Government. Even guns made out of materials as unlikely as soap or plastic may have to be kept under lock and key if they could "reasonably be taken to be a weapon". "If it looks like a gun and feels like a gun, it will have to be licensed," said a government source. "We just want to know where they are." ” Reporter Robyn Ironside then adds, "It is unclear how the draft affects toy guns." ?!? I'm guessing that Queensland is Australia's Maryland.  Anyone?  If this isn't farcical enough for you so far, try this.  “ Failure to license an imitation weapon will carry a maximum $4500 fine under the proposals and incorrect storage carries a penalty of $750. ” Just stab me in the liver and be done with it.  By the bye - did you ever look at Dillingers wood gun up close ?

Time to bomb the bombers

James Lee is Al Gore is Prince Charles is the Unabomber Damn!  I meant to copyright that thought.

What’s really depressing is that the philosophy expressed in James Lee’s (and the Unabomber’s) manifesto – which is also, incidentally, the philosophy expressed in Al Gore’s The Earth In Balance – is also the philosophy that is taught every day to our children in their schools: the world is fragile; human beings are a blot on the landscape; through our greed and selfishness we make everything worse; really it would be better if we vanished altogether and let all the lovely pure noble animals take over. [So much more; so very right] ”

Largely ignored at the time was that amongst the crap collected from the Unabomber's squalid hut was one (1) copy of Al Gore's book, Earth In The Balance.  Quizzes like Ken Crossman's "Did Al Gore say it? Or was it the Unabomber?" were all the rage amongst free thinkers.  Al Gore and Unabum are unquestionably insane; Prince Charles never won the Nobel Peace Prize, and thus lacks the gravitas of a serious advocate.  Lee of course is dead, but every person who donates to the Sierra Club, or Greenpeace, or the Democrat Party was, and is a more serious threat to national freedom.  Carry on. Smoke'em if you have 'em.

Philip Weiss and Crazies

Philip Weiss Tangentially

ASME and Amazon.com Announce the Finalists of the 2010 Best Magazine Cover Contest Ran into this yesterday, and of course my eye went immediately to NOPE and HATE.  First time I'd seen that New York Magazine (September 28, 2009) cover.  Sleuthing yielded the article, written by Philip Weiss, and that sent me off on this  tangent.  Weiss, it seems, owns the rights to Hate and Crazies stories (not a bad thing). In 1997 Weiss, a contributing New York Times editor, was sent to Arkansas to do a story for the New York Times Magazine.  His mission: find the crazies causing Bill Clinton all this trouble, then expose and discredit them.  That resulted in The Clinton Haters - Clinton Crazy.   An odd thing happened however. Weiss did find a bunch of them; like Larry Nichols, Hugh Sprunt, and Pat Matrisciana, "a film maker, who had  developed a monstrous view of Clinton as Satan's nephew."  He ate with them; drank with them; and reported what they said.  What he did not do is paint them as nut jobs who made stuff up.  In fact, Weiss later confessed that the crazies made a better case than did the Clinton apologists,  The New York Times was not happy, and as far as I know that was the end of his association with the Gray Lady. I've had a healthy respect for Weiss ever since, and would read his recent "Crazies"  article, except I hate Obama  too much. Love the cover though, and wonder why it's in the "Most Controversial" category, and not "Best Vampire?"

SEIU President Admits ‘I’m Totally Involved in Distorting the Political System’

“ June 20, 2007 Union Leader Andy Stern of SEIU, described by Business Week as a man who wants to "radically retool the U.S. Labor movement", discusses with NDN Globalization Initiative head Rob Shapiro the significant challenges facing unions in a world of fierce global competition and stagnant domestic wages. ” If I wanted to draw comparisons between Obama's people and Hitler's (but, I will not),  former SIEU chief thug Andy Stern would find equivalency with the SA's Ernst Röhm.  That's all.

Waling and gnashing of teeth

Crybamababy

In 1995 Air Force One headed home with American dignitaries who attended the funeral of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.  President Clinton, more intent on getting head from one of his flying bimbos (Eleanor Mondale was a favorite) I suppose, put Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole in the rear luggage compartment, never speaking to them.   Upon landing Newt commented on it, obviously piqued.  One hundred and sixty-eight thousand gallons of ink were used over the next  weeks by the media, calling Newt a cry baby.  They later claimed Newt used it as an excuse to "shutdown" the gummint in a budget battle.   Remember? TODAY “ Mr. Obama .. used Monday’s appearance here to deliver a hearty defense of his policies and take a few whacks at Republicans. “They talk about me like a dog,” the president said. “That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.” And Mr. Obama repeatedly referred to the House Republican leader, Representative John Boehner, as “the man who wants to be speaker.”  [here] ” Poor Baby.  But I doubt they talk about him like a dog.  People like dogs.

Gibson, in case you don't know, is the lawyer who's been buying up copyrights; searching the web for bloggers who've used any of the material, and suing them for big bucks.  As an aside, Michele Obama's first post lawschool job was as an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley Austin.  Gibson was an associate at Sidley Austin.  Guess what they did at Sidley Ausin?  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW [source]  Ahem. Sweetness & Light, often used as a source by Rush Limbaugh  is being sued by Gibson.  So is Rantburg (home of the O Club).  Anyway, that's not what this is about.  Thanks to babanov  I discovered Clayton Cramer's Blog “Conservative. Idaho. Software engineer. Historian. Increasingly, frustrated with how the greed of a small number of lawyers is making life unreasonable for ordinary people.” He's posted a list of  RightHaven's (Gibson's)  "clients," and easy instructions on how to auto-blacklist them - if you use Firefox.    People doing business with Gibson should be boycotted; and,  if you don't go to the sites, you won't accidentally use any of their material and get sued.  I'm posting the list here only to shine a light on these cockroaches.

Put Your Hands Up

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE Businesses and unions planning to meet on possible $3,000,000,000,000 pension disaster

That's 3 Trillion!  “ Labor groups will be invited to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to talk about an alarming shortfall in state employee pension plans that some believe could lead to a new government bailout. [Keep your hands up] ” Let's look at a more likely scenario. Place: Argentina Year: 2008 “ BUENOS AIRES -- Hemmed in by the global financial squeeze and commodities slump, Argentina's leftist government has seemingly found a novel way to find the money to stay afloat: cracking open the piggybank of the nation's private pension system. ” If it happens, the announcement will sound something like this (including the Spanish) In Maryland, where better than 50% get paychecks from government, or government services, losing their pensions might be the first time that a good many of them will ever have questioned Democrat rule.  Them what don't blame Bush, of course.  Lots of people be wanting pitch forks.
