From their new EP coming out on Tuesday. It’s a good one!
I can’t wait! They’re really quite the group!
I found this out a few weeks ago, but I got to show my wife this weekend.
Little LaWeer’da was due for a nap, but she wasn’t having it! So I put this tune on the radio:
The version I play is the studio version with a LOT more bass which I think helps in this application.
Pop on the song and bop to the beat, and sing the kickass lyrics to the little baby.
She won’t make it through the whole song. Before you get to the “Great Big ‘ol Hardon like an old bodark fence post” line you’ll be looking at this:
Daddy has the black magic when it comes to nap time!
Interestingly enough, the theory of Evolution, and the theory of Relativity are still under the same name as they were before I was born. But now its “Climate Change” because its DAMN cold!
Bizarre cold-weather phenomena called frost quakes — which generate shaking and ear-splitting sounds likened to exploding bombs — have blasted towns across the Northeast and upper Midwest during this extraordinarily frigid winter.
Thanks to social media reports, researchers have been able to study frost quake reports submitted from Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Canada and talk to those who felt and heard the unsettling booms and shakes.
“Experiencing them is not only incredibly unnerving, but due to snow cover it’s unknown if these loud, house-shaking booms have done any unseen damage,” said Ashley King, of Toronto, who believe she first felt one on Jan. 6.
I live on a lake, and I’m amazed I haven’t felt any of these during the massive cold snaps. I guess my lake is too small!
Wasn’t that long when they told us “Ice” was something you’d only find in your grocer’s freezer section!
More below the fold with auto play video.

Not sure if this is real vodka or just water helping the troll. Still I suspect it indeed would work, and make the Ruskies smile.
Still this is my method.
I saw this article by Dan Gross, President of the Brady Campaign, and was just impressed at how many inaccuracies, lies, and spin were in it. We’ve all know Gross for some time, he makes Republican Mercenary Paul Helmke look like a reasonable guy. Gross is a true fanatic, and while he likely has seen all the facts and data, he’s perfectly willing to piss down our backs and declare it rain!
Buckle up, here we go!
ABC’s 20/20 special on Friday once again demonstrated the most important thing we should know about kids and guns in the home: children know where guns are, when they find those guns they are very likely to handle them, and when they do the consequences are often tragic.
Now I’ll get back to the kids knowing where the guns are, but the idea that kids will handle any gun they find, and the results are often tragic is pure falsehood. Maybe the ultra “Progressive” fanatics that still think the Brady Campaign has any relevance will buy this, but I grew up around guns, and many houses I knew where they were, and neither handled them, nor had tragic results. I was relatively sheltered compared to most of my friends. This is just a straight up lie!
We saw a young child show the camera where his mom’s gun is “hidden.”
Oh no! The HORROR!
Another boy, minutes after being instructed never to touch a gun picks it up and looks down the barrel to see if it’s loaded.
No, it was minutes after a teacher instructing him to play with some “toys” in a toy box. This was the per-ordained end-result.
A father who had been teaching his son to shoot responsibly, wept as he recalled how the boy accidentally shot and killed himself with an unsecure gun.
Yep, a loaded gun left on a bed table. Simply foolish behavior.
Unsafe access to guns in the home is a big part of the problem of gun violence in our nation. In fact it may be the biggest. Every day in our nation eight children and teens are shot unintentionally.
That’s almost 3,000 people? Methinks Gross is dipping into gang shootings to pad his numbers!
Another six teens and young adults take their own lives, many using a parent’s gun.
Suicide is sad and tragic, but it really isn’t a gun issue. The US is one of the best armed nations in the world, and approximately 50% of our suicides of any age are with firearms, but our suicide rate is right in the middle of the pack. That’s a more complicated topic for another day. Still I find this has little connection to the gist of his article, its just supplying more dead bodies for a cause that isn’t really relevant.
The problem may not seem as intense as urban violence, because the deaths are spread out in less densely populated areas where gun ownership rates are highest. But when you look at it on a per capita basis, the statistics become startling. Young people in the most rural counties of the U.S. are as likely to die of a gunshot wound as those living in the most urban.
Nope, they’re not, but you massage those numbers all you want!
Most of the guns behind these tragedies are not purchased or owned with the idea they are going to harm someone.
All of the guns discussed besides the planted guns in the toybox are owned for personal defense. Gun owners aren’t HOPING to ever harm somebody, but that’s what they’re there for. We are no longer a nation of deer and duck hunters when it comes to firearm ownership. Most firearms are now owned for personal protection.
This isn’t a gun issue. It’s a responsibility issue.
But the Brady Campaign and its compatriots focus on banning guns…
In 2000, we started the ASK (Asking Saves Kids) campaign with the American Academy of Pediatrics to encourage parents to start this conversation. It has proven extremely successful, with over 20 million parents asking about guns in homes, beginning to impact attitudes, behaviors and social norms in communities across the country.
I doubt it has been taken that seriously. Still I covered the Ask Campaign when it was first introduced.
As our successful work in this area has already shown, if we can ground our efforts in the universally common goal of child safety, through public health and safety campaigns like the ASK Campaign, we truly can work together across the country and across the political spectrum to address a very big part of the gun violence problem in America.
Brady Campaign success stories are really like French Military victories.
Reality is NOT their friend!
“Progressives” REALLY hate these stories because they LOVE Mass Transit no matter how much money they lose, and how many lives they take.
A man was struck and killed by an Amtrak train in Washington over the weekend as he was posing for pictures being taken by his girlfriend, authorities say.
Avert your eyes, for only “Gun Deaths” count. Nothing to see here!

Sadly they don’t work well if you don’t use them right:
A civilian volunteer who fell to his death was not properly secured to his harness while he was being lowered from an HH-60G operated by the California Air National Guard. The accident occurred approximately 30 miles east of Visalia, California, Sept. 12, 2013, according to an Air Combat Command Accident Investigation Board report released today.
Very sad, but preventable. Still not a “Gun Death”. Also of note:
The helicopter, working as part of California Joint Task Force Domestic Support counterdrug operations, was participating in the environmental clean-up and restoration of a contaminated marijuana grow site in the Sequoia National Forest.
Another victim of the war on drugs. Can we quit this shit already?

because College professors know that college is really about getting right cocked between classes!
Now if you excuse me, its time to drain out the unnamed gin cocktail I just drank.
What should I name this? Its based on the Singapore Sling. Its essentially 1 part Cherry Brady, 3 parts Gin, a nice squeeze of Lime Juice and some dashes of bitters. Shaken and served in an old fashioned glass on the rocks.
Friggin tasty, but I can’t come up with a name for it. Any suggestions?
Texas Democrat Wendy Davis is cutting to the right:
Davis has said she supports expanding gun rights in Texas. In a statement to The Associated Press, she said that includes open-carry — a position that puts her at odds with her own party but could keep her from alienating gun rights advocates in a deeply conservative state where the Second Amendment is sacrosanct…
“There is little or no public safety justification for open carry,” said Emmanuel Garcia, spokesman for the Texas Democratic Party.
Kellye Burke, who leads the Texas Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, also opposes Davis’ position. She said the open carry of firearms, whether rifles or pistols, “is meant to be a sign of intimidation. It’s not about protection.”…
Still, gun rights advocates were skeptical. Texas State Rifle Association spokeswoman Alice Tripp noted Davis’ previous calls for more restrictions on gun show sales and past votes against allowing concealed license holders to carry their guns in classrooms and buildings on college campuses.
First up it’s most likely a lie, still what does she plan to gain with this?
John McCain, Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, and the list goes on. You give the people a choice between a fake Democrat, and a real one, they’ll simply vote for the real one, and the actual Conservatives will simply stay home. Why does she think this is different if a Democrat fakes Republican?
