The links keep coming at me even when I don’t look for them. And I confess I sometimes I sneak over to my old news feeds and hunt down a few …
- “Nasty, Brutish, and Short.” Bear Bussjaeger describes what life would be like if gun banners were really serious about getting rid of firearms.
- A chef and his disaster-relief organization not only feed storm victims; they teach them to rely on their own resources, rather than await unreliable help from afar. (Via Zendo Deb.)
- With E-Verify in effect, how do undocumented immigrants get around it? Hint: The old-fashioned way(s).
- Alabama ends government licensing of marriages. Even if they did it for the “wrong” reasons, getting government out of personal relationships is a good old idea.
- Student is banned from his high school for going target shooting with his mother. (Yet another predictable result of anonymous “safety” reporting practices that encourage hysteria and political dirty tricks.)
- Fuel is being heaped on the pyres for the next mortgage bust.
- Jim Bovard: 2002 landmarks on the road to 1984.
- In Australia, a vegan woman sues her neighbors for having backyard bbqs with (gasp!) meat and fish. The revenge of the meat eaters is swift and sweet (even though I don’t think her neighbors, who were trying to be courteous, much appreciate the planned mass barbecue-in).
- A physician who formerly worked at a federally qualified health center says she no longer believes government health care can work.
- Why does nobody care about increasing violence toward Orthodox Jews? Why is it okay in this case to blame the victims?
- Yikes. A new type of eating disorder is hardly what the world — or this teenager going blind and deaf from his pure junk-food diet — needs. But here it is.
- How to avoid getting caught in natural disasters, and how to minimize the damage if you are.
- One of those gaggingly sappy engagement photo shoots takes an interesting turn. 🙂

That couple’s engagement shoot is hilarious. They are obviously meant to be together. Even if it’s really a spoof of engagement photo shoots.
Hmmm….
The Alabama law seems like semantics to me, the state still has and enforces legal requirements to be married, the state still records the marriage, and the “happy” couple still gets a piece of paper from the state saying they are legally married.
The only difference from past practices seems to be instead of a judge issuing a marriage license, the couple will get the same document from some clerk, and no requirement to hold a ceremony to “solemnize” the union.
If Alabama really wanted to be cutting edge, they would eliminate legal marriage all together, but of course they wont.
Are Orthodox Jews good neighbors? No, not in Israel where they throw feces and rocks at passers by “ violating the Sabbath”. Nor in the U.S. where they think their cult religion allows them to flaunt whatever rules they don’t think fit into their world schema. My cousin in Israel calls them “parasites” there where they are given stipends so they can study obscure crazy beliefs. My interactions with them as a (former) conservative Jew were always being denigrated and a focus of disdain. They are no different from any other religious cult, which is, essentially, all religions. All religions snare their victims when they are very young and haven’t developed cognitive faculties yet and brainwash them into false beliefs ie. religion.
Maybe what they are serious about ain’t grabbing guns but really something else?

So if you don’t believe as they do could someone be determined to be mentally ill, nah they would never do that, don’t ya know.
At least one family of Orthodox Jews reads this blog. I’ve known them for more than 20 years in the real world and finer folk you’ll never meet. They’re as pro-gun as it gets, fun to be with — and they send me a beautiful Christmas card every year.

Like zombies then?
I’d find it hard to believe that the kid was banned for shooting at a rifle range in Colorado, except I recently interviewed a couple who moved here from Boulder. They say the town has become so “progressive” that elementary schools are closing for lack of students, since even upper middle class parents can’t afford to raise children there.
I bring that up whenever someone mentions the “need” to Turn Texas Blue.
