Turse
Heh.
Seen at Rusty’s:
a Vermont state legislator recently introduced a bill requiring all unarmed Vermont citizens to pay $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.
…
Under the bill, adults who choose not to own a weapon would be required to register their name, address, Social Security number, and driver’s license number with the state. Those of military age, with the exception of police and members of the armed forces, would be required to pay the $500 fine.
At first, I thought this can’t be serious until I read the VT constitution:
That every member of society hath a right to be protected in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and therefore is bound to contribute the member’s proportion towards the expense of that protection, and yield personal service, when necessary, or an equivalent thereto, but no part of any person’s property can be justly taken, or applied to public uses, without the person’s own consent, or that of the Representative Body, nor can any person who is conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms, be justly compelled thereto, if such person will pay such equivalent; nor are the people bound by any law but such as they have in like manner assented to, for their common good: and previous to any law being made to raise a tax, the purpose for which it is to be raised ought to appear evident to the Legislature to be of more service to community than the money would be if not collected.
Update: Seems it’s an old item from years ago. Still, pretty funny.
The Internet’s. On this day, forty years ago, Al Gore created it. In other news, I’m younger than the internet.
Republican Congressman Jeff Flake regarding his vote against H.Res.784, a bill “honoring the 2560th anniversary of the birth of Confucius and recognizing his invaluable contributions to philosophy and social and political thought”:

Well played, sir. Well played.
Obama now a Japanese verb:
obamu: (v.) To ignore inexpedient and inconvenient facts or realities, think “Yes we can, Yes we can,” and proceed with optimism using those facts as an inspiration (literally, as fuel).

I haven’t seen boob support like this since the media lifted Obama up onto its shoulders and carried him across the finish line last November.
In other news, it marks the first time I’ve seen anything interesting by her.
I lost it at Luke Skywalker Inside A Rotting Carcas (sic). Via tom.
This year, my kids are going to be a dalmatian and a dragon.
In addition to the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama has recently been named Motortrend Car of the Year and Employee of the Month at Wal-Mart store #4606 in Osceola, Iowa.
Also, a whopping five out of five dentists agree he’s good at removing tooth decay.
And he holds 12 times his weight in liquid.
Update: Being told he is in the running for the Heisman. And now comes with bacon and in low-fat versions.
Ministry of Defence publishes document on how to avoid leaking documents. So, guess which document was recently leaked?
Wifey says to me that I write too much on facebook. And that she ignores people who write too much. I say ‘well, if you ignore what I say on facebook, it will be just like real life’.
I mentioned before that one cannot possibly keep up with all the genres and sub-genres of heavy-metal. Now, there’s a flowchart.
Too many Americans still haven’t figured the term “assault weapon” means “a regular rifle that looks cool”.
Heh.
Meanwhile, good for Barack Obama: The president does not believe that the criticism… is based on the color of his skin
And I hate baseball:
And, no, not The Man Show:
And the truck stop thing is stereotyping, which is wrong, except when it’s about white Southerners when they vote for Republicans.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
