"You know, it's those people who really really want guns who are the ones who really really shouldn't be allowed to have them." Rack Jite

I was reading the Houston Chronicle this morning when I came across a full half page advertisement for .45 caliber Thompson machine guns. You remember, the ones with the big circular 50 round drum underneath, used by Machine Gun Kelly and so many other Prohibition gangsters. Mexican drug lords and the Crips will really like these! This of course is only the semi automatic version so buyers can only squeeze off one round per trigger pull which  means they can only kill about 50 students or McDonald's patrons every 15 seconds or so. An auto switch for this or any assault rifle are easy to find by whispering at gun shows.  I know newspapers are in advertising revenue trouble, but this seems to be going a bit too far.

I then turned the page to this story that found me concluding that it is not our politicians or leaders who are the problem, but the intelligent voting public (my ass) and their addiction to violent solutions. No matter it be this kind of popular gungoonery, blind support of premptive wars, the pragmatic need for collateral damage, the utter joy of executions, the need for torture and even the fun of slapping children around, it's what we are. Lucky we have all the guns we do because we are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, let me tell you...

Oklahoma City druggist Jerome Ersland foiled a robbery attempt by shooting one of the assailants in the head and chasing the other out the door. Missing the accomplice he returned to the unconscious, unarmed 16 year old bleeding on the floor and pumped 5 more rounds into him. He is now free on $100,000 bail. Oklahoma Hero Pumps 5 rounds into Unconcious 16 year old.

Much like the Joe Horn story here in Houston - Horn shot and killed 2 unarmed burglars who were running away(from ten feet away with a 12 gauge shotgun) - it is not so much about the shooting as the public response. Joe Horn was not even taken into custody or indicted here in Texas because of the uproar in his defense. In Texas a hero is someone who shoots unarmed Negros in the back. The response in Oklahoma is much the same. The calls and letters and voices on the radio are in full support of their local hero pumping rounds into unarmed unconscious Negro robbers. Another American NRA Hero, this one from Oklahoma. The Joe Horn Story

The NRA is on a high as never before with Democrats more afraid of the them than they are of Iran, North Korea or Osama bin Laden. Americans will come out from under their rocks, their hollers, trailers and swamps to vote anyone who has anything negative to say about guns.

Two of the most unlikely people in the world to discuss or agree upon anything are on air radio shock jock ManCow Muller and Keith Olbermann. Despite this, ManCow was back for the second time in a week. Mancow had agreed to be waterboarded on air to prove once and for all that it wasn't torture, but after six seconds, said then, and maintains now that it most assuredly was genuine and torture!

This time he's back to debunk a conspiracy theory being circulated by a gossip blog and irate members of the right stating it was all a hoax. Muller's theory is that they wanted the radio stunt to prove that waterboarding wasn't torture as much as he did. He claims the "Right" is mad at him for not lying and sticking with the party line. I was no fan of ManCow, but I have newfound respect for his honesty and integrity in this "stunt" which has become an example of how far some will go to back their beliefs even when they're proven wrong. After watching this interview, you'll see why ManCow remarks, "How bout the truth" he demands. "I play pranks all the time, that's the irony here."

Golden Misogynist Award: This is a true "Don't Miss!" In a knuckle dragging rant on his radio show about Judge Sonia Sotomayor, G. Gordon Liddy went beyond what would get you instantly fired and sued in the workplace, and provided us with a further glimpse of his ignorance, racism, and malice. Misogynistic much? Watch with disbelief as he goes where no one with half a brain has, in public. After the standard racial connections being bandied about,it's touching for this convicted felon to be concerned about Judge Sotomayor's menstrual cycle and how it will now, after all of these years start to affect her professionalism.

Newt Gingrich Georgia Peach of Shit

I came across an old Gingrich campaign ad on the net the other day. Newt won election to the House in 1978 running against Virginia Shapard, a married mother of two. His ad ran,

“Newt will take his family to Washington and keep them together; Virginia will go to Washington and leave her husband and children in the care of a nanny!”

What did Newt do a few months later after he had won?

He did not take his family to Washington, rather, he surprised his wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital recovering from a cancer operation. Neither did he support her or his children with a nanny or any damn thing at all. In fact, his church had to support his family while he was busy porking bimbos inside the Beltway. All while he ran his political campaigns on the theme of family values. Newt Gingrich is a peach of human shit.

Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and Newt Gingrich now share the FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Which makes Alaska Airhead Sarah Palin look real good!

Though the vote was a unanimous 19 Republicans in support and 11 Democrats to reject, the Democrats had enough votes to get by the 2/3 needed to oust Texas Taliban State Board of Education chairman Don McLeroy. McLeroy is not only a staunch supporter of creationism and the 6000 year old Earth, but his Christian Fundamentalism also puts the nix on global warming, climate change, and of course multiculturalism which teaches Texas Students about other people and places. He and his Taliban Clan on the Board are trying to get their religious views into our text books which will be decided next year. The text books are used for 10 year periods. Texas textbooks also are purchased by many other states due to the buying power of the Texas population.

Though a blow for Texas secessionist Governor Rick Perry - who has recently gone off the deep end placating the Texas Republican Base to beat Senator Kay Baily Hutchinson in the primaries next year, - it is expected that he will retaliate by moving board member Cynthia Dunbar up to the chair position. Dunbar is an even crazier Texas Taliban nitwit than McLeroy. Texas Taliban Cynthia Dunbar

One time matchbox preacher, right-wing radio talk show host and owner of the 24/7 Houston Right-wing radio station Dan Patrick who sold it all to become a state legislator understands the politics at hand. Democrats voting McLeroy down have feigned it as a lack of leadership rather than the religious ignorance and an embarrassment to Texas it actually is.

"If this isn’t about evolution, if this isn’t about what the Bible teaches, what is it all about? asked Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, referring to opposition to McLeroy.

A recent Zogby Poll found that 80% of Americans want the "weaknesses of evolution" taught in public schools. That phrase is now the replacement for "creationism" since "Intelligent Design" took a big legal hit in Dover, Pennsylvania a few years back.  Dan Patrick knows full well that if 80% of Americans are that stupid - and Texans are known to be twice as stupid as everyone else -  that 160% of Texans are against evolution. And every one of them votes, some twice, once for themselves and once for Jezus. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Former Minnesota Governor and Navy Seal who has experienced waterboarding, talks about more effective and legal tactics. It is inexcusable for a country which claims moral superiority to conduct torture for the sake of cruelty, as it cannot be used in a court of law as evidence.

Though some will sneer, it's hard to dispute the experience of the FBI agent speaking in the Time magazine story of his experience with Bin Laden's bodyguard, shortly after 9-11, when a sugar-free cookie gained valuable information. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |
