Bloomberg’s (now-former) head anti-gun honcho blames victim disarmament failures on Obamacare and Edward Snowden. And admits that none of his efforts could have stopped a mass shooting, in any case. It seems that shooting helpless dogs is no longer enough. It’s apparently more good, sadistic fun to cut their throats. Can you even imagine? (Via David Codrea) Ten tricks to make your life better today. (James Altucher does this stuff better than anybody.) “I Love My Guns.” JPFO reprints a “recent classic” from MamaLiberty. Nice going, Susan. Somehow these two go eerily well together. It’s terrifying how much information Google…
Category: Dogs and (grudgingly) cats
No description needed. Dogs are life. Cats are also necessary on the Internet.
The middle class is even more screwed than the numbers show. Could the mythical cancer wonder drug be on the horizon, or is this just another typical bit of overhype? Concept seems good: turn your own immune system against the cancerous invader. Forensic “science” isn’t science. The NSA now claims it’s too big to comply with a court order. Aw, the poor Clintons. Don’t you just weep for their desperate financial struggles? This is nice. Twins joined at birth became co-validictorians of their high school graduating class. Whew! One more apocalypse averted! The backlash against police militarization heats up. Okay,…
What’s lost as cursive handwriting goes away? Intelligence … memory … turns out handwriting isn’t just some bugaboo in stuffy, old-fashioned teachers’ minds. In Thailand, protestors salute with the touching gesture borrowed from The Hunger Games. The junta doesn’t like it. Hm. I dunno. I guess if you’re too busy, have the bux, and don’t mind your dog pigging out on treats, this could assuage your guilt. Frankly, though, if I had the money and no time, I’d go with an automated fetch machine, instead. Keep ’em lean and well-exercised. (H/T ML) Whotta place to be caught: between secrecy and…
Starting off with a smile: The Swiss Reaper. Not so funny: Bovard on the “soft racism” of setting lower expectations for minorities in the classroom. Ugh. Heck, if they were going to ban the poster, it should have been for stupid gun handling, not the shadow of a nipple. (Mildly NSFW.) Suit says V.A. cops stomped on an old vet’s head because he was tired of waiting for treatment. Well, that’s one way to get rid of pesky, resource-consuming patients. You don’t even have to take the time for “death panels.” The Shawshank Residuals. Well deserved. When Earth had two…
I don’t usually “do” holidays, except Thanksgiving. But here are a pair of truly touching stories, one for today, and one (though it was just published), for the Mothers Day just passed. War dog helps the family of the soldier he served with. An old man with Alzheimers, two caring cops, and a happy ending. (H/T ML for the smile.)
Pop quiz! Don’t worry, only one question: What role do submachine guns play in the inspection of meat, the granting of farm subsidies, or the administration of food stamps? (The link is to PawPaw’s House. PawPaw is a cop and even he doesn’t like this one bit.) Bovard on Obama and cynicism. This reminds me once again how glad I am that Obama is so inept. Politicians who talk like he does are dangerous when they’re actually competent. Another schoolkid gets turned over to the cops. For a doodle. Government-run health care. ‘Nuff said. California sends another business packing off…
That KKK killer who shot up those Jewish centers recently? A protected and pampered creature of the federales. Wonder why that’s not getting more attention in the MSM? David Codrea has that and more about the FBI in last night’s JPFO alert. Studies: The more privileged you are relative to others around you, the less trustworthy you’re likely to be. (Don’t blame me. I’m not the one who said it.) Deputy shoots cattle dog for no good reason. Outraged dog-dad sets up F*ceb**k page demanding justice. And more. Deputy gets fired. Wayne LaPierre announces he’s shutting down the NRA. 😉…
Well, it appears that Albuquerque residents have seriously had it with their thrill-killer cops. Churches. Being converted into pubs. Did you know … that “dog whisperer” Cesar Millan came to the U.S. as an illegal immigrant? (Tip o’ hat to PT) Another reason for drug warriors to suspect and harass you: having a Colorado license plate. (Will having a Washington state license plate be the next sure sign that you’re a monster possessed by Reefer Madness?) This writer asks why “we” make children sit still in class. But she dodges the answer. That’s curious, because John Taylor Gatto and many…
That was a good thing you did, lady. But you’re supposed to offer to buy the mistreated dog before you steal it. (H/T JB) —– Welllll, dunno if it’s the best political ad ever. But not bad. —– Rabbit stampede! (H/T JB) —– There’s been so much terrible news out of that monster mudslide in Washington. And the last few days, so little news because they’re not saying much until the medical examiner identifies the latest bodies. Some bodies will just be under that mud forever. And nobody will ever know exactly how many. All week I’ve bookmarked article after…
