Double Trifecta!

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Weerd Beard

How do you add trifectcas? Is it additive? That would make this post a sexfecta! Or is multiplicative? That would be a Nonecta!

Either way they’re good!

I’m really glad I took the extra time to swing by the Harvard News Stand to see that pile of Newsweeks waiting to never be sold.

Then there’s this:

Now first to come to a VERY brief defense of Aikin. I suspect what he was citing was doctors noting that there are certain things that increase female fertility. Without getting too pornographic, if a woman is aroused and ready for sex the vaginal interface is both wet and of a good pH for sperm transmission, and the longer that sperm stays within her the better chance of conception.

Essentially Aikin was doing what all politicians do: Talk to experts about things they know nothing about, and then badly repeat what they hear with a political spin.

Still again he’s dead wrong. I think we all know a female or two who were able to conceive with relative ease, or people who had unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. I know several women who were raped (I wish I knew none), but as far as I know none of them were impregnated, tho some of them may have had prophylactic medicines administered after the crime. Also rape pregnancies are fairly rare, and that MIGHT have been a better angle for Aikin.

Still in the end, he stepped on his dick and made a HUGE stink. Every damn conservative on the planet agrees with that and have asked him to step down and find something better to do with his time than lose an election, which is assured at this point. He’s said “NO I’MMA GONNA RUN!!11!!”, which shows that he’s just as arrogant as he is stupid, and he has armfuls of both.

And the Media is going to bury any Republican admonishments so they can claim we’re all as tin-eared on rape as he is. LAME!

“Gun Death” Over a Sawbuck Fin

Posted on August 22, 2012 by Weerd Beard

One of the running gags in the great film Noir Payback, is that Porter was shot in the back over $70,000, and he points out that that is what his life was worth to those who double-crossed him.

Without spoiling the film, he goes through hell for $70,000, and many are shocked that it would be worth the trouble. $5 seems to REALLY be silly.

Harry Lee Brown was left with nothing but the loose change scattered next to him as he lay dying on a sidewalk in north Minneapolis, his pockets turned inside out and blood running from his head.

The 50-year-old homeless man died Sunday, more than a week after a man and a teenager allegedly punched him and beat him with a baseball bat before taking $5.

Five bucks in CHANGE, and some monster beat him to DEATH for it. Those who use the metric of “Gun Death” are monsters as well!

Great Video on the Drug War

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Well said. I will add that I’m 100% treating Marijuana as a medical drug, I just think it should be 100% legal for all who can legally buy cigarettes or alcohol.

Also while legal cannabis will indeed be a tax boon two fold. #1. People will prefer legal weed over the criminal stuff and #2: So much public money is wasted on chasing after pot smokers, growers, and smugglers.

Still be careful with taxing it, as if the legal stuff is SO much more expensive than the illegal stuff people will just continue to buy it on the black market, much like states who heavily tax cigarettes simply buy them illegally.

I personally think the push back against legalizing the stuff is the vestige of the baby boomer population. They may have smoked a TON of the stuff in the 60s, but they sure don’t want their kids or grand kids doing it….because that’s totally different!

From The Belly of the Beast

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

We’ve been talking about the Newsweek Cover for one of the topics for this Week’s Squirrel Report. Alan mentioned that he didn’t think Newsweek was still being sold in News Stands, so the cover was just showing up on conservative blogs.

Since I was in the area of Harvard Square today I popped into the massive news stand they have there and snapped this picture:

This is Massachusett’s Red Square, one of the most “Progressive” areas in Mass. I remember shushing Vector once when we were walking through and talking conservative politics for fear that one of the filthy hippies might start a riot to have us killed.

And there it is, right under the register. This is NOT good for our President!

This Looks Neat

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

I want to see it, if anything because Jeffery Dean Morgan is an actor I continue to be impressed with.

Watchmen introduced a ton of Actors to me who really impressed me to great lengths.

Patrick Wilson and Jackie Earle Haley have impressed me with their acting skills.

Another Great Video on Democrat Racism

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Just like legal immigrants should be ENRAGED at the Democrat’s position on illegal aliens, minorities should be enraged at the Democrat’s position on minorities.

Beware Cheap Carry Ammo

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Just saw this video, and I thought I’d post it:

Compare with this:

Its a shame the tests aren’t 100% similar. Different guns, slightly different water jug setup. Still the results are dramatic enough that I think you get the picture.

Also just so I don’t sound like an ammo elitist:

This stuff is pretty cheap ammo, its also the round George Zimmerman used to shoot Trayvon Martin. No matter how you feel about that shooting, the ballistics don’t care.

Powerful Video

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Go over to ENDO and watch this video.

The Talking points Ben Stein presents aren’t anything new. He’s mostly supporting pro-gun talking points of noting safe places with liberal gun laws, and dangerous places with sever restrictions (but is a smart enough guy to know that correlation is not always causation), “If Guns Were Outlawed Only Outlaws Would Have Guns”, and he even drops a variation of one of my catch phrases “If Guns Were Illegal as Murder, nobody would be Murdered with Guns”.

Still the power comes with WHO Stein is. He’s an OLD Guard Republican. He’s worked for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. While I haven’t followed his personal position on gun control over his career, he represents the block of Republicans who have supported sever gun control in the past. Republicans supported GCA ’68, they supported the Brady Bill, they Supported the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and they fought against concealed carry laws. Our last two GOP Presidential Nominees, John McCain, and Mitt Romney are ardent supporters of gun control and gun bans.

At camp last week I was discussing gun politics with a Tea Party guy from Michigan. He’s a 2nd Amendment supporter, but he really hasn’t spent much time following the issue, so he was interested in my views in gun control in America.

One of the interesting 2nd Amendment factoids is that if you discount US Presidents that fought in the Revolutionary War, when it comes to executive action the top two pro-gun Presidents are #1 George W. Bush, and #2. Barack Obama.

He was gobsmacked when I mentioned #2. But really it shows the political climate in America. Early Presidents didn’t think twice about gun control, the 2nd Amendment meant you stay away from personal arms, so the average farmer might be as well armed as the average soldier…and before we started keeping our armies in times of peace, they were often one and the same. Later Presidents lost sight of this and were able to justify controls because we had a government that carried guns for the good of the citizens. We had avid hunters and shooters in the White House, but they didn’t feel the need to press the issue, and we had presidents pushing incremental restrictions.

It wasn’t until the Federal AWB was found to be a total failure that Presidents have felt compelled to roll BACK restrictions. Even when they were marginally pro-gun George Bush, and stridently anti-gun Barack Obama. It just wasn’t an ISSUE for past Presidents (correct me if I’m missing some pro-gun Presidents of the past), so they didn’t take any action on it.

To see an old Guard Republican like Stein joining the fight really shows how the tide has turned.
