Got this in an Email.
Now that’s a fun little short film!
Short, simple, and Brutal
Madison County prosecutors are considering charges in the stabbing death of an Alton man late Tuesday.
Stanley Thomas Overton, 51, was found stabbed about 11 p.m. in his apartment in the 1100 block of East Seventh Street. He was later pronounced dead at Alton Memorial Hospital.
What more can I say? A man is dead, no guns involved, this is not a “Gun Death”.
Every Day, No Day’s Off links this video.
Police officer pulls over some German tourists for speeding…he then tells them the penalty for excessive speeding in America is to get anally raped in prison.
First up, let me make a PSA, I’m against prison violence, while the inhabitants of Prison are not people who get my sympathy, its a miscarage of justice for them to have punishment rendered upon them that was NOT in their sentence, be it at the hands of their jailers, or other prisoners.
But to play up this nonsense to foreign nationals? COME ON Officer Asshole!!
Hopefully this video will find its way to the desk of his commanding officer….
So I’ll get to the Gloomy Gus stuff first.
We had a killing frost that wiped out my Dahlias so I snapped a picture of them as a metaphor. This January we elected Scot Brown to the Senate Seat formally occupied by Ted Kennedy’s fat drunk ass. President Obama has done a horrible job in general, and tossed just about every one of his constituents under the bus. Electricity has been in the air, the electorate seemed very displeased, and challenger candidates were coming from all directions. Primary season was insane for Massachusetts when a few odd ball Republicans show up to run a half-ass campaign against the entrenched Democrat du-jour. This year we had strong candidates running serious campaigns. Also it seemed that a lot of the crooks, thieves and scumbags seemed to get caught with their hands in the cookie jar at the height of their campaigns.
Blah Blah Blah, fast forward to last night, the good guys lost….and in most cases not by a little bit either. I mean Martha Coakley, who is the poster child for inept Massachusetts hack politician, who was running against a candidate who staged the most successful sticker campaign in Massachusetts history in the primaries, and she whipped his ass….
I have become a LOT more cynical last night. I had previously made an Analogy about being a conservative living in Massachusetts being a war. At first I stated that living here was like being on the front lines of a war. Now I really don’t think that, I think Bubblehead Les has it right calling it being “downed behind Enemy Lines”, I’m not on the frontline fighting the enemy, I’m the resistance making mischief to slow the opposition until the main force can arrive.
This changes my mind when people say “Weer’d, move out of Massachusetts!” I originally scoffed and pointed out that without conservatives here the Marxist hordes would run rampant. Well, the Marxist hordes are running rampant, and I doubt we’ll have a chance like this again in the near future. It was their darkest hour, and they still beat us and bloodied us.
That being said, I didn’t move to Massachusetts for political reasons. I moved here for work, and because of the proximity to my family and my friends. At this stage in my life, even the Marxist Hordes don’t make it worth our while to sell our home, cut our losses and run. I will say when that day DOES come, I won’t be arguing about staying. So for those of you who CAN leave, maybe you should, but I understand why some of us really can’t.
Also on the other side of the pond Mike W. Reports that the Leftists in California would rather elect a Corpse than a Republican. That’s FAR GONE right there! RUN, gather forces, then SEND HELP!
Ok enugh of the Maudlin crap. While Massachusetts totally sucks, my wish list did have some good hits. Allen Grayson is now unemployed! Also Paul LePage won for Governor of Maine. Also for further smiles, note that Kay is none-too-happy about it. Come on, unhappy hate-filled bigots? WIN WIN! Also Buddy, and Blogfather Bruce MacMahon won a state rep seat in New Hampshire! Mike W. again reports that total shitbag Who Felt the need to assault a constituent because he didn’t like the tone of his question got handed his walking papers. Yeah! For more angry bigots, Daisy is pissed they elected a Brown Woman for Governor….well she’s upset that a conservative was elected. See race and sex only matter when REPUBLICANS do it. Cry harder Daisy, the creek is still low! Also Sean Reports that Wisconsin has flipped. Wisconsin is one of the few states that bans concealed carry (and given that its winters are like 6 months long and COOOLD, open carry is a severe inconvenience in general) they have a functional lobby that has been pushing through legislation, but it hasn’t been able to get past the Democrats in the Legislature and the Governor’s office. This should be VERY good news for the people of Wisconsin. I’m sure there are a million other points of bright lights, please share them in the comments. (also if you want to bitch, feel free, if that makes you feel better).
But as I said, SEND HELP. I do have some things to be thankful for, on the gun-control front, it appears to be a non-issue. Our anti-gun Governor has been chomping at the bit to ban guns and raise permit fees, but his attempts have been unsuccessful even in Massachusetts, but the laws still suck, and with our representation like the way it is, it will need to be settled in court. My big fear are taxes, and spending said taxes on Government abuse.
So while things look grim (and my flowers are dead) really things are not bad at all.
I mentioned I saw a beer truck crash yesterday. No news story, but somebody took a picture:
Even more odd, on the same day in Pennsylvania the Same Thing Happened! I smell dark conspiracies….involving Gray Skinned Aliens….and Skunk Ape!
As you’ve read here I traded my AK for an FAL.
The reasons mostly were shitty sights, horrible ergonomics, and an intermediate cartridge for the AK, and on top of all that I just didn’t have a ton of fun shooting it. The FAL appears to have bested all of those drawbacks. (And the Ergonomics will only get better when I get around to swapping out the stock…but even shouldering the FAL and taking the safety off with that craptacular thumbhole stock is better than doing the same with an AK) Seems Warrior Talk News thinks a lot of the same things, and he has this really neat article on building a “Guerrilla Sniper rifle” from an FAL.
Very neat, and super-nice gun. I personally am of the school that if I need to engage a target outside of 200 yards I probably should be running away or setting an ambush, and if things are so damn bad that I’m plinking hostile targets at 200+ yards in range, they’re probably bad enough that the glass in my scope got cracked, and the tube flooded, and/or the battery in my illuminated ACOG just shorted out. For serious guns I’m a bit of a luddite, I want everything stripped of failure points, and IMHO good solid iron battle sights don’t break, and if they do, your rifle probably isn’t safe to shoot because of that level of abuse.
No Motive given for this Scary Case
According to police, Harrison came home drunk on October 2nd, and Henke started beating and choking Harrison. When he passed out, authorities said Henke left and told Borland to, “finish the job.” Harrison was choked with an extension cord, and his body was in an alley the next day.
Senseless, but for those who tout “Gun Death” as a metric for their political aspirations, they can rest assured that this death doesn’t count. The rest of us can know otherwise….
Right now listening to the polls its looking like ALL the Democrats have won here in Mass. Looks like lots of good stuff is happening in the rest of the nation, but nothing all that impressive here. *Sigh*
Oh well, I’ll have a lot to talk about, but I think I’ll call it a night right now.
Night all.
I think you remember my wish list.
Well it’s early yet but one is down.
Incumbent Alan Grayson has conceded to Republican Daniel Webster in the race for the Congressional District 8 seat.
Good Riddance to that Jerk!
More poll watching to come!
I’m sure everybody is talking about politics right now, so while we wait for the polls to chime in, I thought I’d talk about something I was musing about this morning. For some reason I got thinking about a concert I’d seen on TV of Madonna in the 90s. It was right around the time she had done Truth or Dare and her raunchy book Sex I remember seeing the film and being horribly unimpressed, given that I’d seen hardcore porn before. Overall he concerts those days stunk of attention whoring. People were all chattering at how edgy she was.
Its the same idea with Lady GaGa. There’s the meat dress, and the fireworks shooting out of her tits, and the bizzare scenes in her videos, like Telephone:
Neat video, and certainly pushing people’s comfort levels…but let’s face it, it only PUSHES people’s comfort levels. These artists aren’t really edgy, but people who can guage people’s fear levels well. But let’s cross the line behind the cut!
