Jedi Mind Tricks

You know, convincing us he's this big supporter of the Emperor all the while profiteering off the Rebellion...

Seriously, how hypocritical and just plain cheesy is a socialist billionaire dodging  taxes?

5 Questions...

...with Ted Nugent [More]

Here's a sixth (actually, I asked mine first): What possible excuse can you have for not doing this?

Happy Halloween!

Yeah, I know it's a day late, but I just got sent the link to this video. [Watch]

The Way Things Oughtta Be

"A Staunch Gun Advocate"

I actually condone this action...Gun owners - be reasonable. [More]

Tell you what, why don't you do what you want and stay the hell out of my private affairs?

You call for more "gun laws," make a point of telling everyone how law-abiding you are, and then turn around and tell us "Even if a business is posted, I carry anyway."

If the antis were really for "reasonable" background checks they'd be pushing for BIDS, which would allow for those without creating a purchase record. But what they're really interested in is that purchase record.

In the meantime, we don't need useful kapos ceding  ground in the guise of "staunch gun advocates."

Unpreppers

"I don't have any lights and need this gasoline for my generator," Abdul Rahim Anwar told Reuters as he waited at a Getty service station in Gowanus, Brooklyn. [More]

What? Abdul, old sport, you didn't know a Big-Ass Hurricane was coming your way?

And now it's "to each according to his need"?

Won't things get interesting when something even bigger, more widespread and longer-lasting comes along? They still might.

Yet "preppers" are figures to be ridiculed and even demonized.

Hey, maybe we can charge them with hoarding and "take back" what should rightfully be mi...uh...ours.

Students Teaching...

Well, that's your problem right there. They're supposed to be learning. [More]

I guess if someone really wants to be offended, they'll find a way. If this is all they have to worry about, life must be pretty good. 

S.T.A.R. reminds me of that group created by Al Capp...

Still Plagiarizing After All These Years

"As they say in my business, I'm going to give you the whole load today," said Biden. [More]

I guess a leopard never changes its spots.

But really, word-for-word?

Giving the Devil His Due

“It's about time we start taking this sh—back," the youth, who identified himself as Jesse James, told the Daily News. [More]

Right, because you've no doubt spent a lifetime putting so much in and giving so much, so it's your entitlement.
