…is more popular, and less unpopular, than Barack Obama.

The president’s nonsensical gun proposals. Either he’s profoundly ignorant, or he thinks we are.
Save The Crab Lice
OK, I decided that I had to take action to prevent this environmental holocaust. So head on over and sign my petition. I know they’re microfauna, not mega, and not all that charismatic, but they’re all God’s creatures. Let’s see if we can break a hundred thousand.

A comment over at Free Republic: “Just another case of Brazilian deforestation causing another extinction of a species.”
[Afternoon update]
An email from Jim Bennett: “If you declared Sandra Fluke’s nether parts to be a navigable waterway they would come under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers, who would then have the power to forbid the clear-cutting of habitat.”
Being “Socially Liberal”
…is not being libertarian. And as he points out, no one who supports Barack Obama and the Democrats in the budget fight can credibly claim to be a “fiscally conservative.”
Anthony Watts Versus Greg Laden
What should he do? The goal should be to get an apology from Nat Geo, and an end to Laden’s privileges at their web site.
Gravity Plus Celery
Here’s Who Shouldn’t be Allowed To Have A Gun
“I don’t mind being yelled at, like verbally abusive, fine,” he said. “But I think the mayor — and I made this point in an email later to his staff, clearly crossed the line by grabbing me.”
Hastings said that he has interviewed “terrorist leaders…dictators…a lot of politicians…a lot of angry people,” but that no one had ever put their hands on him. The journalist also claimed that Emanuel didn’t seem to be “in full control of what he was doing” during the exchange.
I’d love to see him charged with assault. But you know the cops would ignore it.
And I agree with Glenn: “I think one reason why these people support gun control is that they assume everyone else is as unstable as they are.”
Presidential Sophistry
Nicholas Johnson writes that the agenda is to take all the guns, regardless of their lies (and many of them remain quite up front about it). And it’s aided by the sophistry and ignorance of the media:
I disagree with his premise, though, that the president is smart. On some things (e.g., economics and business), he seems unremittingly stupid.
And there’s this:
If you listen just to media reports, you would think that guns used in crimes come mainly from straw sales or the “gun show loophole”. But these sources account for only a small fraction of the illegal gun supply. Most crime guns come from a black market that is supplied by theft. On average about 500,000 guns are stolen each year. So publication of gun owners’ addresses is a wonderful public service …. to gun thieves.
As demonstrated by this:
Thieves ransacked a house that features on the gun map published by the Journal News, just days after another home on the list was also targeted.
Burglars broke into the house in New City, New York, on Wednesday and pried open two safes, before leaving with another one.
The criminals escaped with two handguns, two pistol permits, cash, savings bonds and jewelry. The firearms were in the stolen safe.
I hope they sue the paper, and take them to the cleaners.
Save The Pubic Lice!
Apparently all the dehairification down there is making crabs an endangered species. Is the EPA and PETA going to get on the case? I mean, if they can declare a mud puddle on a farmer’s road a wetland and prevent him from filling it, why can’t they force all those college students to grow their hair back and create habitat?
The NRA Supports Criminals?
Ummmmm…no.
I suppose I should be amazed at the cavalier attitude such people take toward basic constitutional rights, but I’m not really any more.
Cuomo And The Other Idiots
…forgot to exempt the police from their stupid law.
Oh, well, why would a New York cop need more than seven bullets in a magazine, anyway?
