Some women. Are scary. Young, naive, idiotic women, I hope. But still … Carl-Bear riffs on my recent JPFO “Gunowners as terrorists” piece. Nice job, Carl. Jeez Louise, cheeseheads. What did you expect to happen once you grudgingly tolerated a little “reasonable regulation”? Fasting for three days can regenerate your immune system. Well, at least it’s creative thinking: Detroit should pass a homestead act to fight blight. Hm. So how do I get an order to prevent Feinstein’s body guards from buying or possessing guns? Clearly they must be dangerous loons to work for a person like that. What happens…

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…
Prophesy is a dubious business. The best-regarded prophets keep things vague enough to mean anything some follower wants them to mean. When that won’t work, there’s also the “just move on” method for handling the aftermath of more specific prophesies (which Gary North found handy after Y2K). Another fave of failed prophets is the “it actually happened just as I predicted, but nobody noticed” method recently favored by Harold Camping. (These both have multitudes of amusing variations.) Creative editing centuries after the fact often helps to ensure the reputation of a less-than-accurate prophet. H.L. Mencken clearly needs none of those…
JPFO has a brand-new Twitter feed managed by the amazing Nicki. Obama’s war on government watchdogs. Very nice tribute to Don Kates. Of course the growing cybermilitary will never be used against thee and me. Never. How could you even think such a thing? But now that you have thought such a thing, you can be sure that the NSA, the Pentagon, and a whole bunch of rich government contractors know what to do about it. (H/T H) But while we’re on the subject: “What a toilet hoax can tell us about the future of surveillance.” Eeeeeew. In other non-news:…
In light of the latest in the endless series of revelations about Internet Explorer bugs and vulnerabilities, I bring you … And now, being gunfolk and technoids (as so many of you are), you can all go off to the comment section and beat each other about the head and shoulders over which firearm should actually represent which browser. But nobody will disagree on the one that best depicts IE, right?
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. 😉…
As you suffer through your taxes (or their aftermath), be of good cheer. You have much less chance of being audited than you’ve had in years. Church in a wealthy community installs a “homeless Jesus” sculpture. Woman reports the bum to cops. Notice to thieves: It’s not a good idea to burglarize the Pena household. In many places this would not be news. In darkest blue, gun-loathing New Jersey, it’s a bigger miracle than seeing Jesus’ face in a tortilla. (H/T jw) I think some school officials are going to be in trouble over this Sure hope so. (PT, who…
Doesn’t it just stand to reason — doesn’t it just? — that the Human Ken Doll has has nothing good to say about the Human Barbie Doll? Weird old world we live in, innit? I know there’s absolutely nothing funny about a fatal mudslide, as the people of Oso, Washington, are learning to their horror. But at least there’s a certain strangely poetic justice to this mudslide in China. Government priorities. I swear, anybody as witty as Tam ought to have a late-night show of her own and be getting fabulously rich and famous. The homeless guy and the ATM…
Kurt Hofmann created this after I suggested that a phrase he used in tonight’s JPFO alert would make a perfect official NRA flag. ADDED: Kent McManigal got inspired and made a pair of further refinements on his site. See ’em both? In case you haven’t had a chance to notice, JPFO’s got some fine new writing talent. Kurt and Nicki Kenyon have been producing short & spicy articles just about every day of the week. I might get a word or two in myself, and maybe some others will, as well.
My two favorites from yesterday: Brady Center rescinds award given earlier to Piers Morgan. And Spirit Airlines introduces free super-luxury features.* So, now that we’ve safely escaped the madness and made it onto the island of sanity that is April 2 … what were some of your favorite April Fools jokes? Post them in comments. —– * If you don’t know, Spirit has a reputation for treating passengers like cattle and charging extra for every tiny thing. The best part of this April Fools joke is its source.
