Well Now, Isn't This Nice...

Blogger wouldn't let me post this morning until I switched over to the "new" (no longer Beta) version.

Now it looks like all internal links to previous posts don't work.

Whatever happened to "if it ain't broke don't fix it"? This screws me up big time, right down to being unable to access "The Only Ones" files.

It looks like my options are what? Join one of their forums and see if anybody replies? And then spend months learning techno-geek so I know what they're talking about?

Aarrrgh!

OK, I've calmed down now--I'll go look through "Blogger help" and see if I can find an actual email address to get a live human being. As if I have time for this.

Meanwhile, if anybody has already been through this curve, I've got one word:

HELP!

UPDATE: Looks like I'm not alone.

WarOnGuns to Interview David Hardy

I'll be interviewing attorney and author David T. Hardy on Monday about his new documentary, "In Search of the Second Amendment."

As with the Matt Bracken interview, Mr. Hardy will be checking in on the comments from time to time during the day and answering your questions.

Mark your calendars and think of what you want to ask--this should be good.

I Guess if You Look at it That Way...

One person who works for Bloomberg put it best when he said this "really isn't about gun control, it's about crime control."

Yeah--don't think of this as rape, think of it as an arranged marriage...

So That Explains It

Why Gavin Newsom doesn't want people in San Francisco having guns, that is...

What kind of creep would do this to a good friend and supporter? I guess the same kind who would allow his underage companion to drink.

Oh, but he said if she did, he didn't notice. Well, for a guy who shows up at vigils for mortally wounded police officers plastered, that's not hard to believe.

My favorite line:

Gavin ought to resign and seek psychiatric help.

So naturally, this head case who can't even control his own life presses for more control over the lives of his subjects--and the inmates love him for it, giving him better than a 70% approval rating.

Night of the Evil Gun

Guns don’t like living beings. Their goal is to eliminate living beings.

I dunno, Mr. Gerard, my guns like me just fine. They've been behaving themselves like perfect little non-sentient inanimate tools for decades now, with nary a hint of hostility or aggression.

Maybe it's just you they don't like? Based on your idiotic and offensive belief system, that would seem to be the most plausible explanation. I mean, I don't like you either.

Mooninites Invade Boston

"This is a perfect example of our passengers taking part in Homeland Security..."

Good grief.

I guess this business of making paranoia our national pastime is working.

Why don't "the authorities" just show everyone how easy it is to cripple a major city?

If there are any of those Aqua Teen Hunger Force promo pieces left over, they'll bring a fortune on eBay...which means they'd better inventory how many have been impounded in the evidence room, assuming they all made it there...
