It Sure Would Be Nice if Everyone Offering Advice...

I haven't been this conflicted since invited to join the wine club.

UPDATE: I guess I need to explain that the last panel is one of my "Fauxtoshops" intended to express my contempt for shallow fundraising tactics by cynical fundraisers.

We're the Only Ones BeKnighted Enough

Two sources who have seen the recordings say the videos depict Williams’ young daughter dressed in what appear to be articles of a police uniform and dancing to an anthem of the Ku Klux Klan. The refrain of the song repeats the words, “Stand up and be counted, show the world that you’re a man. Stand up and be counted, go with the Ku Klux Klan.” [More]

How dare an Only One belong to a race, color, ethnicity or creed-based group.

I mean really.

That ought to outrage us all.

No?

A Top-Tier Felony

For years, the FBI has filed animal abuse under the label "other" along with a variety of lesser crimes, making cruelty hard to find, hard to count and hard to track. The bureau announced this month that it would make animal cruelty a Group A felony with its own category - the same way crimes like homicide, arson and assault are listed. [More]

You guys have exemptions, right...?

Another Senseless Gun Violence Death

Didn't this ammosexual vigilante know a gun in the home makes it 473 times more likely you're a penis-compensating, anti-government, slack-jawed hater? [More]

Besides, Shannon says this kind of stuff never happens.  And she and her billionaire benefactor would rather the family had been killed than armed.

Still Putting the "Eh" in "Boner"

Boehner rakes in cash for openly gay Republican candidate [More]

I don't care about that. What I care about is where this Carl DeMaio character stands on the key issue, and on issues inextricably related to it.

They don't even appear on his home page "Issues" tab-- you have to pick "Other Issues" from a drop-down menu.

Carl DeMaio supports the Second Amendment. The President and the Congress must act now to forge a consensus to improve enforcement for background checks and to keep weapons out of the hands of those with serious mental health issues and criminal history.


Carl DeMaio supports sensible immigration reform that secures our borders, protects taxpayers, keeps families together, treats immigrants fairly and with respect, provides an accountable, timely, and transparent process for individuals who follow the rules and comply with our laws to achieve their citizenship.

F*** this DeMao guy.  Not literally.

And f**** Old Yellowstain.

Media Matters GRPC report ignores anti-gun background check deception

That said, here’s where BIDS could prove a very useful tool to expose the antis for what they’re really after: If the “gun safety groups” truly only want background checks, why would they not promote a system like BIDS, which creates none of the potential registration dangers that could be abused to jeopardize gun owners’ freedom? [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report notes a simple way to prove the antis are lying when they say all they want are background checks. In addition to them just being who they are...

The Hill departs from objectivity on restaurant “gun ban” story

More credible would be the argument that the paper is just doing its part to help the MILMs appear more impressive and effective than they actually are, and to sway lawmakers into believing that. The target readership relying on “The Hill’s powerhouse of vehicles” for an accurate understanding of the issues makes such misuse of language all the more inexcusable. [More]
