Preventing Virginia Lobby Day Violence: Be Well Regulated


“Monday, January 20, is Virginia Citizens Defense League's Lobby Day. It is not VCDL's Protest Day,” VCDL explains. “There is a distinct difference between the two.” [More]

The bad doesn't have to happen -- and if it does, there are measures we can take to make sure it can't be credibly blamed on us.

Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport

For example, PETA’s Australia chapter received over $49 million in contributions in 2019, but only less than 1 percent went into actually helping troubled animals. The rest of the money, in true PETA fashion, was used on advertising, public disturbances, paying off celebrity spokespersons, and lobbying politicians and businesses into getting what they want and they want one thing, and one thing only-total animal “liberations”.

Tommy Lee...?

When we were children and just thought stupid, nasty little boy humor was just the funniest thing in the world, a kid I knew came up with a lyrics alternative for the Rice-a-Roni jingle:
Poop and tinkle, the San Francisco treat...

Little did we dream that the reality would turn out more vulgar than we could imagine.

We were expecting busy space stations and populated moon bases by now.

If I Were to Venture a Guess


How Do We Explain Homicide? How on earth is any of this possible? It certainly doesn’t fit the “it’s the guns” narrative. If it were “the guns,” then these hot spots would mostly overlap. There are a few overlaps ... but most of the country exhibits the exact opposite behavior than we would expect from the “it’s the guns” hypothesis. [More]
Maybe it's not the guns?

And So It Begins Anew


Monday morning the state Senate Judiciary Committee meets for the first time, and the agenda is chock full of gun control bills. Here’s a brief rundown. [More] 

I see separate NRA and VCDL contingencies. Color me cynical, but I'd like to see a rundown of where Fairfax is doing a bit of behind-the-scenes horsetrading.

We're the Only Ones Unduly Excused Enough


An NYPD Cop Was Sentenced to a Day in Jail for a Lie That Nearly Doomed a Man to 15 Years in Prison The judge said six months in jail for the cop's perjury would be "unduly harsh." [More]
You lie in a police investigation and welcome to being a prohibited person for life. This swine and his "unnamed" accomplice have no doubt been perjuring themselves and covering it up for others for years inside a rotten department where it's systemic. And lenient-for-"Only Ones" Judge Danny Chun looks like he deserves to be carted off in the tumbrel right along with 'em.
