I was looking forward to my son being a Boy Scout, but now fuck that noise. There, that's my political contribution of today. |

Re-casting her as Apollo instead would have been more believable. |
Dirk Benedict was cool.

Truth:
Dirk Benedict was cool. And Katee Sackhoff did an excellent job picking up where he left off in the reboot. Casting Benedict as bad-guy/good-guy Zarek was an inspired move. Further truth: I sent an email to the news department on Wednesday informing newscenter (the room which handles all incoming remote feeds) that I'd be taking the Sears tower 105th floor south camera offline this morning to do some infrastructure improvements. This morning, I get a call from my VP informing me that a union grievance has been filed alleging that I'm doing productive work without an IBEW member with me. I know exactly who filed the complaint. And what he doesn't know is that about five minutes ago, I just spent $400 of the company's money on two ethernet-controlled remote power switches that let me shut down the microwave receivers (at Sears & Hancock) that he's responsible for, from the comfort of my pajamas. Prediction: starting sometime next week, Newscenter is going to have all sorts of problems dialing in our remote trucks from the field, but ONLY when Bob Esp is on duty in the control room. Everyone else is going to have no trouble at all. Bob has no idea who he's just fucked with. I control the horizontal, I control the vertical. |

I thought about that, but I didn't want him to sell more cookies than all the girls in his class because people would guilt buy due to the illness known as liberalism. Plus I didn't want to have to explain to my daughter why my son can't be a Girl Scout, but she can be a "Scout" with all the boys. |

Like, if you've been complaining for a week that a certain camera isn't working, and I'm down two guys in my department due to medical leave, you don't call the steward because I went and fixed it myself. That's just a recipe for self-harm. |

Ah, so the key to preventing gun deaths is to make shooting somebody illegal. Establishing gun free zones at schools. Banning violent crazy people from owning gats. Great ideas. I hate to break it to Alyssa Milano and her NoRA cohorts, but all those policies are already in place. None of them do anything to stop murderers. Criminalizing dickweeds still pop caps in asses. Schools still get shot up. Nutbars still get their grubby paws on munitions. Though, I wouldn’t expect any of those facts to convince leftists otherwise. Make no mistake, all of these policies are passive aggressive jabs at gun ownership. It’s easy to protect people from gun violence if they don’t have guns. Note also the broken AR-15 on the NoRA’s letterhead. This “bill of rights” is little more than an attempt at wiping their rectums with the real Bill of Rights. They think they’re clever with the vague recommendations, but we can see though the bullhickey. Mayhaps Alyssa and her fellow NoRA celebs should stick to playing pretend for a living. They’re much better at that than selling us on gun control. There may be some policies we can put forward to put a damper on gun violence, but banning boomsticks is not the answer. |

I grow tired of reading the same old arguments being trotted out by those both in favor of and opposed to the liberty granted* by the second amendment. No one who believes that the "well-regulated militia" clause is independent of the rest of the amendment is ever going to convince a person who is in favor of reducing access to tools which facilitate violent crime that they are wrong, and no one who believes that the Constitution is out-dated and irrelevant is ever going to convince a gun-toting redneck that they are wrong.
I genuinely wish that we, as a society, could accept this discrepancy as read, and just commission some universal symbol which reflects the sentiment "I have strong opinions which I am unable to effectively articulate, and which have recently been inflamed by this most recent act of mass violence" without actually cluttering up my Facebook feed and making it harder to find funny pictures of cats. * = note to pedants: yes, I'm aware of the implication of use of the word "granted" in this specific context. If you believe that life, liberty, etc are inherent natural rights, spend a week in the jungles of southern Asia and let me know how the tigers feel about that. The real dangers facing western society in the 21st century are rather more subtle. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9d67f9f8a3.png They have begun a selective-breeding program. |
Selective breeding comment is funny.
