Well Said

Magazine Bans will get good people killed!

Those who propose gun control laws are 100% fine with more good people getting killed. Why else are they so fixated on “Gun Death”? The more people killed, the more political capital they get to continue their anti-freedom agenda.

Me? I’m for protecting lives and making our streets and towns SAFER!

Hurting

I’ve had a case of Bronchitis since Christmas, Just made my second trip to the doctor’s after the first treatment was unsuccessful. We’re throwing every drug on the planet at my system to clean this shit out now.

If this doesn’t work, I’m just going to hop into the autoclave at work and call it good!

So I’m gonna chill out now, More blogging in the morning.

A Victory For Rights

Bangor Daily News attempted to publish all Maine CCW permit holders, and was thwarted!

The Bangor Daily News has rescinded its request for records about concealed weapon permit holders in the state of Maine. We have informed the agencies who received our request to disregard it. We’ve informed the agencies who have responded that their records will be destroyed.

We are disappointed with the reaction to our request, which we felt was with the best intentions to help study issues affecting Maine through an analysis of publicly available data. We will continue our reporting, but will use other sources of information to do so.

The BDN regrets that its request for information may have been taken as a personal attack on concealed carry permit holders, some of whom work at the BDN.

“Help Study The Issue”? What issue is this? Its not like Maine CCW carriers are committing crimes. Further there is a long history of News Papers publishing people’s personal information for pure political reasons, and those publications have lead to assaults and burglaries.

Also given that this is my home state of Maine, I know several people who got their carry permits as a means to back up a protective order against people who have threatened violence against them. I think we all know publishing their name and addresses only makes people less safe!

Good work people of Maine from pushing back against the anti-freedom pro-criminal paper!

More TSA Failure

On So Many Levels:

Authorities say Kanye West and Kim Kardashian had to be privately screened after an airline employee allowed them to bypass a security checkpoint at New York’s Kennedy International Airport.

So first we have special treatment for what passes for “Celebrities” these days.

She says after clearing customs and baggage, they were escorted by an airline employee “through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight.”

Farbstein says this violated security protocols by bypassing the TSA checkpoint. She says that prompted TSA officials to conduct the private screening.

Actually seems reasonable if they have a VIP Escort through a sterile area. Of course given that there are no protocols, who knows how effective this is.

And again they were screened, and like all TSA screenings, nothing was found, and no terrorists were apprehended.

Let’s do the right thing, let’s make it easier on the “Celebrities” by disbanding the TSA! It might have some nice side-effects for “Regular People”. Also for those who are concerned about security, the new Disbanded TSA will continue to supply security at airports, bus stations, public bathrooms, and discos at the same quality level, just without us paying them, or them being around!

Gastropod Sex

We were talking about it briefly on The Squirrel Report, the nudibranch sex story!

As hermaphrodites, the diverse group of brightly colored sea slugs called nudibranches are already considered unusual when it comes to sex. But one species does something particularly peculiar: Chromodoris reticulata detaches and discards its penis after mating, then grows another to go again 24 hours later, according to a study published this week (February 13) in Biology Letters.

Having collected the sea slugs from reefs off the coast of Okinawa, Japan, researchers observed the creatures mating in tanks. They saw that sea slugs that had recently mated could not do so again for at least 24 hours. Then they noticed the reason why: the sea slugs sloughed off their male sex organs around 20 minutes after mating, leaving them without the anatomy required to repeat the trick until it grew back a day or so later.

Really cool, a more in-deptch story here

Still this isn’t as odd in the Mollusk family, many cephalapods do the same thing with a mating arm that gets broken off in the female where it continues to copulate.

And we also talked about this video on the show:

In case you don’t buy the re-enactment, its 100% true. Also the bit about the anus would be BETTER if it was on top of its head, instead shelled gastropods defecate onto their own gills, that’s the drawback of that armored shell!

And last where would this post be without this song?

“Gun Death” Drugs Again

If only guns were as illegal as drugs!

A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the drug-related deaths of two Southlake Carroll High School students….Investigators say Marino supplied drugs to his two friends, but then did not call for help after the teens passed out and became unresponsive early Saturday.

Yep, the war on drugs is working as well as the war on guns!

Today

Isn’t very different from any other day. That’s why I love my wife. We don’t celebrate today as anything different from any other day.

Sympathies for all you who have to buy gifts and flowers. My wife can expect gifts and flowers every other day, but NOT today.

My Feelings on Dorner

PJ TV did a spot on those who cheered Dorner on in his actions:

Wayyyy too far. Its not like our crazy media wouldn’t have given lots of time to an ultra-progressive minority cop claiming corruption, racism, and violence on behalf of the LAPD, no matter how thin his story. There was a non-violent way to get his message out and seek revenge against those who he perceived to have wronged him. As I’ve said before, there is a time for violence, and from what I read in Dorner’s grievances, this was NOT the time.

Still there is a part of me who’s sad that he’s likely now dead, and certainly the methods of it. Huffington post has a post up that has an official Police statement that the tear gas likely started the blaze. There are also some unofficial reports that the blaze may have been intentional.

Seeing the wanton attacks on the two pickup trucks, it seems pretty clear the LAPD had ZERO interest in taking this man alive and letting him stand trial for his crimes. Of course Dorner’s taste for blood also made his chances of being taken alive slim at best.

I’m upset that a man would kill so many people, who as dirty as they may have been (Turns out the people murdered were not LAPD or on Dorner’s list, meaning its more than likely collateral damage of a crazy person), didn’t deserve to die. But also I don’t have a lot of love for the police and their actions in this case.

State of the Gimp

Wow, How can a fall be THAT BAD, and I feel so fine today? I don’t trust it. Still as of right now my knee feels pretty darn good, and my ankle is a little stiff, but nothing serious.

I guess I was a lucky dog!
