Movie Review Haiku: Hanna

Move over Hit Girl
You have some competition
For youngster bad ass

75 years

A sentence for the crime of videotaping the police. Tar and feathers should be applied liberally to everyone involved in the prosecution of that case.

Spammers Update

A bit back, I mentioned that spammers seemed to be trying to hijack my phone with the wordpress app through the Amazon app store. Well, the same thing was attempted through the Android Market but the Android Market did’t let the app get that far. I’m thinking the WordPress folks are having issues.

Stocking Stuffers

A plan

You know, I kinda like Glenn’s strategy here:

. . . fans of civil liberties should always vote for Republican presidents, since they’re the only ones that get press scrutiny.

Brilliant!

Big boy rules

That term is, apparently, synonymous with full retard. Tam on the fail train(ing):

I have learned a new rule, though: If the trainer you’re thinking of using advertises his business by photoshopping his face into video game artwork, this should be a clue to seek training elsewhere.

Seriously, watch that video. And why exactly would someone want to engage in hand to hand combat with a guy up close and then shoot a guy far away? Wouldn’t you just shoot the guy who’s close?

Because you suck and we hate you

HK’s UK HQ* is in Nottingham, apparently unbeknownst to many locals. And someone isn’t happy about it so they’re putting up insulting posters to bring awareness. But the K in H undh K rhymes with poke not, uhm, male chicken.

The lunatic is in my head

Ok then:

The wife of a man accused of shooting his neighbor because he thought the neighbor was “telepathically” raping her, has now been charged with encouraging her husband to “go for it.”

Sign of the times

FY2011 sets record for military surplus transfers to police departments

Twits

Library of Congress to receive entire twitter archive. In 1,000 years, anthropologists are going to think all we did was post pictures of our breakfast, junk for other people to see.

Chicks and guns

Destinee emails me her video review of the Beretta Nano, how many outfits she can wear in four minutes:

Game theory

So, what is the optimum strategy for the bonus round of Wheel of Fortune?

Habitable planet

NASA may have found one. Getting there is another question.

Leather

Nice looking project

What government does

Have a homeless problem? Ban homelessness. I’ve been saying for years we should ban cancer and heart disease.

Sad Clowns

Chris Cox says the anti-gun lobby is a little impatient with Dear Reader.

Iain Harrison Interview

Caliber, kilts and kegerators with the TopShot winner, CrimsonTrace marketer and head-licker. Also, Iain emails that if you use coupon code 30LSR11 at CrimsonTrace, you get $30 off.

Rule 2

Guy practicing his draw nearly shoots neighbor. When you practice, do so someplace where if you hear a bang instead of a click, it’s got a good backstop.

Fast and spurious

US approved large scale gun sales to Mexico. 9,000 go missing. but, remember, the press and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myslef) told us it was those US gun shows flooding guns south.

Holder shouldn’t be asked to resign. He should be charged.

Quote of the Day

O Captain! My Captain:

The question is when society is on the brink of collapse and comes around to men, asking us to fix it, we’ll be 80 years old and relatively indifferent about it by then. Though we will have enjoyed the show, because we have learned to

Breed them out

Should people who wear gun-themed clothing be allowed to have kids? You think I’m kidding.

Stop touching it

Local deputy shoots frozen bologna at a convenience store. Seems he was handling the weapons and shot it.

Open Carrier Killed With (likely) Own Gun

Tragic:

Tyler, a customer at the BP station, was killed about 8:15 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25, inside the store. According to court papers, Smith and Hamiel arrived at the BP together on a single scooter and followed Tyler into the store.

Tyler, 48, had a concealed-carry permit, but his handgun was plainly visible that night in his holster, Johnson said.

“The suspects walk in and one immediately reached for Mr. Tyler’s gun,” Johnson said. Tyler did not draw his weapon.

After his gun was taken, he decided to chase them.

I’m a gun owner but . . .

Apparently, former gun show operator Bob Pope says we should close the non-existent gun show loophole.

And now, for something completely different

In which I blog about college football.

Seems a good portion of college football fans have their panties all bunched up because the BCS championship will involve Alabama v. LSU and not OSU v. LSU. Their complaints seem to be the following:

  • But LSU already beat Alabama.
  • OSU deserves it.
  • ESPN is biased toward the SEC (Gee, you mean the league with the best teams gets more coverage?)
  • The BCS system is rigged.
  • Only teams that win their division should advance.
  • It’s not fair and I’m going to hold my breath until I turn blue
  • The BCS system is a joke.
  • I’m going to agree with you on the last one. It is a silly system and it’s overly convoluted. But that doesn’t matter. Under the point system, Alabama is number two. That’s the rules. And they are a better team than OSU and they played a tougher field. The SEC is just a tougher league.

    No one wants OSU in that game more than LSU because LSU would beat them like they owe them money. Alabama may actually beat LSU.

    Golf, cheer-leading and soccer

    All are more dangerous than hunting.

    Can we put the adults in charge?

    Nine year old boy suspended for sexual harassment. His crime? Called his teacher cute.

    Sexual harassment is one of those terms that is losing meaning. Through it on the trash heap with racist, fascist, socialist, and sexist. It means nothing.

    Obama and guns

    LaPierre comes out against Obama.

    End the war on drugs and release the prisoners

    The war on some drugs is responsible for the militarization of the police. There’s a time for the police to put on ninja gear and get all tactical. But that should not be SOP.

    That makes me unpatriotic.

    Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
