Cellphone chargers can drain power and add to your electric bill…they can also break up a family.
A judge has ordered that William Ambrose Fenwick, 22, of Lexington Park remain jailed without bond on charging papers alleging he choked his children’s mother with a telephone charger’s cord on a bed last month, until their daughter started screaming.
Why would anybody own a cell charger? They are nothing but deadly weapons of domestic abuse!
Stopped by the Liquor store on my way home from Vermont. Picked up among other things a bottle of Chevis Regal. Now its hardly the worlds greatest scotch, but its tasty and relatively inexpensive. Makes for good sipping scotch, and if I feel the need to drop in some ice cubes or a dash of bitters I won’t feel like I’m adulterating some good single-malt.
Also on an interesting side note its allegedly the drink that Fat Teddy Kennedy was smashed on when he rolled his Delmont 88 into Poucha Pond, killing Mary Jo Kopechne.
Still whenever I think of Chevis Regal, I think of this song:
Red Pants and the Sugarman in, the Temple Street gloom,
drinkin’ chivas regal in a four dollar room,
just another dead soldier in a powder blue night,
sugarman says baby everything’s alright,
goin’ downtown down downtown.
Not much else to add, but this guy was a fucking scumbag!
A Santa Ana man was indicted Thursday in connection with the beating death of an 18-month-old girl and abusing a 3-month-old girl who suffered fractured ribs, authorities said.
Juan Carlos Aguilar, 25, allegedly squeezed the ribs of the 18-month-old on July 9 while he was caring for her.
read the whole story if you want the details….I kinda wish I hadn’t read it.
Still think “Gun Death” is a valid metric? Under that filter this horrible crime doesn’t count.
Having trouble sleeping, so I decided to do a little tab-clearing, and read this article many people have taken a shine to.
All I could think of was this:
The soapbox of The Day the Earth Stood Still was the fear of Nuclear total-war. I can relate to that fear. World War II had just closed with the dropping of two atomic bombs, it was natural to assume that any time the US felt challenged we’d simply drop more nukes until we got our way, or, more likely, the planet died.
Now I’m not 100% familiar with the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950s which supposedly was created to shame Communists and Communist-Sympathizers. I have no idea what the real significance of hiring blacklisted Sam Jaffe as one of the supporting cast was, but it seems to be mentioned in almost every article written about this film. (And given that it is probably the Citizen Kane of Sci-Fi films, there are quite a few).
Still Kaatu’s speech, and the overall theme of the film reeks of totalitarianism, and in the 20th Century (and seemingly going strong in the 21st) the leading totalitarianism was Marxism. The ultra-smart, advanced, and totally benevolent Alien comes to earth in an atomic spacecraft with a robot that can crush skulls and melt tanks, warning people that if they don’t give up nuclear weapons the entire planet will be destroyed….but they are a peaceful race without need for weapons…
The scary part of the speech is its said and presented without the slightest hint of irony. Whoever wrote that, and certainly the director, must have been true believers to not notice that Klaatu was BRUTALLY violent on his stay on Earth, and the races of “The Other Worlds” must indeed have weapons if they can threaten to destroy a planet…not to mention Gort himself.
This article seems about the same. “Super Benevolent Aliens” will wipe out humanity. Not one bit of irony at all.
This of course is no different than Terrestrial Marxists, where one submits to the party, or one is “Re-educated”, which may or may-not include a bullet to the head.
Of course such childish brutality is passed off as “Enlightenment”, and “Progressive”.
Not on my watch, Klaatu!
Unless I hear something REALLY juicy, but I think Mr. Farago got a bump in hits (but maybe not the kind he was hoping for, hopefully), and a lot more people saw what goes on behind the scenes.
One interesting additive is that there has been a bit of talk about the blatant theft of work written by Tam, and it appears that Robert has apologized for stealing work and has removed the offending piece from his site, or something similar (Haven’t checked) What’s neat about this is I’ve heard several stories of people emailing Mr. Farago about poor attribution, or blatant plagiarism, and getting nothing but a snotty response to the tune of “It’s my blog, I’ll do what I want!”.
Funny how people’s actions change when they know they’re being watched. Reminds me of Bill Clinton apologizing to the US Press Corps for cheating on his wife (this time)…yeah.
So this was briefly touched upon in this week’s Vicious Circle, but I thought I’d expand on what I suspect started all of this.
Honestly I’d forgotten, but I was surprised to hear I might be in the middle of all of this. I made a post a while back talking about taking a vacation of all anti-gun blogs. It was a neat little idea coined by Chris from Ak, given that about 90% of anti-gun blog traffic is from Gun bloggers doing opposition research, or simply scrapping for a fight. The idea was, take a week off and watch their traffic and comments die to nothing. As you can see I also said I’d include Robert Farago’s blog because of his poor behavior, and while he’s bad about linking pro-second Amendment blogs, he’s religious about linking anti-rights blogs.
Seemed to make sense to me, and a few others agreed.
Now what hasn’t been talked about was how poorly the Boycott went. I did it for about a week with one day where I peeked in to a few sites to see if it was working. It didn’t, from all data I could find I could give a generous estimate that about 50 people decided to do something else. Most just stayed and did what they wanted because they didn’t know, or didn’t care.
Only person who actually NOTICED was MikeB302000, and not because his traffic or comments went any lower, but because somebody said his name, and “Boycott” in the same breath, and as both a “Progressive” and an idiot, never EVER miss a chance to play the passive-aggressive victim card!
Like most things Mr. Bonomo says, nobody cared. Its starting to look at lot like he sent my link to Mr. Farago and that’s the basis of the so-called “Black List”.
Yep a failed boycott turns into a “Blacklist”. Drama Llama and trolls all the way up!
Now I don’t link to Mr. Farago’s site because he’s an asshole, a thief, and somebody who is only writing a blog for money and treasure, and has little care about the blogging community, or the future of gun ownership or sports. He just wants hits, ad money, and industry samples. Feeding trolls generates controversy which generates traffic which is $$$. Speaking out against fundamental rights, or attacking members of the community generates controversy which generates traffic which is $$$.
He’s welcome to do all of that (and get sued if somebody can claim damages), overall he doesn’t want to bother with me personally, and he didn’t have much to say for himself when we met personally. So fuck him. He can do what he wants, I don’t care. I won’t link him, and I’ll point out his poor behavior to all who do link him whom I regularly read.
You wanna a blacklist, well there’s a blacklist right here!
That’s funny right there!
First up, My little Niece knows me well. She came up to my tent first thing this morning, still in her pajamas wanting me to see the skunk.
I wonder if this is the guy from the other night. He was kinda bummed about his incarceration. The camp takes them down the road to the woods and lets them go. I suspect its close enough that they simply walk back over the next few nights.
Had a nice drive home, and listened to the latest Vicious Circle. FYI when I’m listening to a recorded VC that I’m not on, like last night, I find myself talking to the radio as if I was on Skype.
Good show, and Mrs. Weer’d had a good chuckled every time Dennis did a Dr. Rockso impersonation.
So now I’m home. The truck is unpacked, but I have a mountain of laundry to do and bags to unpack. I’m gonna take it easy for a bit!
There’s a thing about wives and girlfriends. Its bad news when they meet.
A 48-year-old man was beaten to death by his wife, children and others while he was taking dinner with a woman on Wednesday night. The woman also received serious injuries. The incident was reported from Chamrokha village under Ghazipur police station. Property dispute and illicit relationship are cited to be the primary reasons behind the murder by cops.
This happened in India where there is very strict laws about owning and using firearms. So there is little surprise that this is not a “Gun Death”. Good thing too, right?
Found this guy on the way to the bathroom tonight!
Decent sized one. Most of the time once they realize you aren’t going to kill or eat them they settle down and enjoy your body heat. This guy held still for the glamour shot but chirped and struggled until I put him down.
He also pissed about a quarter-cup of water on me. It’s my undstanding that as fully terrestrial amphibians (Toads are lousy swimmers unlike their frog cousins ) toads use their bladder as a fresh-water canteen to keep them hydrated on the dry forrest floor. So my unexpected shower was mostly water than urine.
BTW I can hear him singing outside right now!
Unlike skunks the wife will admit that these guys are super-cute!
Time for another Vicious Circle .
I won’t be there as I’m currently in a tent on the banks of Lake Champlain. The subject in part will be the Butthurt blog. While I’m bummed I can’t make it, I’m very pleased to hear that Linoge will be on. He knows a good deal about Mr. Farago and his dirty tricks and has had some hard work stolen from him, and got a king-sized load of smarm when he mentioned the under-handed nature of it.
He’s a good friend and will be a great addition!
Also I’ve known him for several years, but this will be the first time I’ve heard his voice!
Funny how the internet works!
For those of you curious about my previous post
There’s a bit more on it here at Bob’s and here at Uncle’s.
I could add a bit more on why the blog sucks and its proprietor is an asshole, but why bother? You either see it or don’t. I don’t much care either way, I don’t care for his methods or his ideology so I act according.
PS: If anybody else has added a good post on this issue either drop it in the comments or to weerdbeard AT Gmail DOT com and I’ll link you up.
