Voice of Fred Flintstone, Henry Corden dies at 85

Yabba-dabba-dead!

Science Forum

I was doing a little self-affirmation, and searching for "Texican Tattler" on the Internets. The link above goes to a forum where none other than Archimedes Plutonium (super genius) is prattling on about how his name is somehow associated with porn sites or somesuch. In any event, the Texican Tattler has somehow gotten into this embroglio. What's sad is that a so-called super genius doesn't know the difference between random spam and the results of a Google search.

We need some smarter geniuses, people.

Cartwright and two other men duped the victim, Nick Moraida, 37, into thinking they were homosexuals offering to share beer with him at a park along Corpus Christi Bay in 1996. Instead, Moraida was stabbed then shot to death while being robbed of his watch and wallet.

Wolfe, 44, was on parole from Louisiana and had fled a work-release program when he was arrested for the 1992 slaying of Bertha Lemell in her Beaumont home. Lemell had been stabbed 26 times. Around $40 was believed taken from her change purse, which also contained some black-eyed peas she carried for good luck.

Gun control plan full of holes - PittsburghLIVE.com

This is a great little op-ed on Pennsylvania's latest attempt to control your life. My favorite quote:

Besides, the priority should not be disqualifying identified terrorists from possessing firearms. A much more effective tack would be to disqualify identified terrorists from possessing a pulse.

Cops: Tattoo fits the crime

Granted, this guy is incredibly stupid, but you have to admire his appreciation of crappy firearms.

I guess what caught my eye was that this guy had not committed any gun crimes per se, aside from possession of illegal firearms (2 sawed-off shotguns - really bad). Because it's Massachusetts, though, this guys in deep doo-doo.

Nice profile picture of his well-trained beer belly, too.

Fonda flick doesn't fly in Hardin County

This is the best article I've seen in a long time! I want to send this guy $7 for the movie ticket I'll never buy.

May Hanoi Jane rot in hell for what she did and the suffering she caused. To abuse the very people that guarantee the freedoms she takes for granted. It is not the writer that gives you free speach, it is the soldier.

It's good to know that there are still people in this country that have the moral backbone to give up a few dollars to stand by their principles.

'Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith': Some Surprises in That Galaxy Far, Far Away

At one point, Darth Vader, already deep in the thrall of the dark side and echoing the words of George W. Bush, hisses at Obi-Wan, 'If you're not with me, you're my enemy.' Obi-Wan's response is likely to surface as a bumper sticker during the next election campaign: 'Only a Sith thinks in absolutes.'

Only the New York Times would try to rub their BS politics into this movie. How typical.

I still can't wait for the movie to come out, however.

Newsweek says Koran desecration report is wrong -

You may have noticed, dear reader, that I was pretty freaking pissed off about the report that our forces desecrated the koran in Gitmo.

Now I am totally pissed off. Turns out it looks like Newsweek pulled this story out of their ass. It's almost deja vu, all we need now is Dan Rather reporting it and it will be George Bush's records all over again.

When will the American Media remember that they are first and foremost, American?

When will the American Public realize that the American media is full of shinola?

It is starting to look very much to me like the American media is nothing but a bunch of traitorous whores and I for one ain't paying their bar tab any more.

Woman seriously injured after crashing into tree in Boynton: South Florida Sun-Sentinel

After Boynton Beach Fire Rescue freed her, she was flown to Delray Beach Medical Center, where crack cocaine was found in her underwear, police said.

Yeah, but was it clean underwear?

Protests Spread After Report of U.S. Desecration of Koran

How special. Anyone doubt that Islam needs to come into the 21st century? Hell, I'd be happy if they'd embrace the 18th century as a start.

I am sick and tired of hearing the whining and complaining around the world when the United States does something that some third world asshole finds offensive. How about drinking a nice can of STFU, eh?

I don't recall seeing folks on the Gaza strip upset when the planes hit the WTC. In fact, I seem to recall seeing those fanatics dancing in the streets.

I also don't recall seeing any Christian martyrs blowing themselves up (not even the Catholics!) when pieces of "art" went on display showing holy images to the Christian faith imersed in urine, or stained with feces.

But hey! Whenever the big bad United States of American offends some turd somewhere in the world, let's start burning the flag and blowing up innocent civilians.

Typical BS , and frankly, I'm sick and tired of it. Screw them and the horse they rode in on.

Print Story: Rice: Gun Rights Important As Free Speech on Yahoo! News

Oh my gosh! A politician that makes sense, can think for herself and doesn't simply blow the party line.

The 2nd Amendment is not about sport, hunting or even concealed carry. It is about preventing a repressive government from taking control of the people. It's about the people having a means to defend itself from such a government.

And Condi understands this concept. I know a lot of people don't like Condi, I don't understand why, but she sounds pretty smart to me. And obviously she has a spine because she's not pandering to the gun-nazis by trying to find the illustrious "middle ground."

Way to go Condi!

Texas cheerleaders can still 'Drop It Like It's Hot'

The update you've all been waiting for.

Florence Shapiro, who chairs the Senate Education Committee said senators have been "cackling" about the bill and were surprised the House took time to debate it.

"We have so many big issues that haven't been resolved," Shapiro said, citing school finance and a tax bill among others.

"This isn't even on the radar."

Yep - she's my senator.

Texas bank robber with toy gun slain

A 60-year-old woman dressed in black, armed with a toy gun and driving a motor home robbed a bank in east Texas on Thursday, then led police on a low-speed chase before she was shot and killed when she allegedly pointed her fake revolver at officers.

The woman was identified by Tyler, Texas, police as Peggy Jo Tallas, an ex-convict who became known as 'Cowboy Bob' in 1992 after she pleaded guilty to robbing a bank in Mesquite, Texas, of $13,000 while dressed in a cowboy hat, sunglasses, a fake beard and mustache, and other Western attire.

If ABC doesn't make a TV movie of this, I will.

Florida boosts gun rights, igniting a debate

Ah, the Christian Science Monitor. THE news outlet for a cult. They were basically benign, as far as I'm concerned, until this article. I always thought their politics were liberal, but this tears it.

When 16-year-old Mark Drewes knocked on a neighbor's door in Boca Raton, Fla., and then ran away as a prank, he was shot dead by homeowner Jay Levin. Mr. Levin, who said afterward that he mistook the boy for a robber out to attack him, was sentenced to 52 weekends in jail for manslaughter.
Now, 18 months later [emphasis mine--jr], the state has enacted a law that opponents fear will only encourage more gun owners like Levin to adopt a "shoot first, think later" approach - and this time get away without punishment. But others see the new measure, which allows people to meet "force with force" in public places without fear of punishment, as a vital way for people to protect their homes and families.

We've been down this road before on this blog. Back in the day (18 years ago), when concealed carry was passed in Florida, anti-gunners predicted "blood in the streets." Now that you don't have to retreat from being attacked, they're predicting OK Corral scenarios.

Give it up, people. This argument is just as lame as the ones you used 18 years ago. As for the kid above, well, that sucks. No doubt about it. But it's got not one damned thing to do with this law. It's just anti-gunners dancing in the blood of innocents. In case you've not yet noticed, it's one of their favorite tactics, and it's just as distasteful as it sounds.
