Obviously, they didn’t watch that tactical video on how to pistol whip

You know, this video? It may have helped these geniuses: A robbery victim was pistol-whipped in Oakland on Wednesday night, but the robbers fled without taking anything when their gun accidentally discharged, police said.

Saying Cheese

My dog did:

Also, my son has heard this song in the car. And he sings part of it some times. And he gets the lyrics wrong: Money don’t grow on cheese. I laugh every time I hear it.

And it’s his birthday. Six years old. So, yeah, they do grow up fast.

Happy birthday, Son.

Regulation nation

Eric on a case I’ve covered before: We are no longer governed, but we are ruled. This government is monstrous.

One in three occupations requires a license.

Banning drawstrings, for the children.

And, of course, from a couple days ago:

Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice.

Economic downturn

It does have some benefits.

Sound and fury, signifying nothing

GOP leaders go slow on Eric Holder contempt vote. Been a lot of talk about fast and furious, not much action.

Bank of America Responds

To the NSSF’s inquiries about them ditching gun companies: I want to assure you and your organization that we do not have a policy that would deny banking services to entities because they are in the firearms industry

Knife Review

Marko reviews the Spyderco Sage 2: this thing makes every other knife I own feel like a chunky pack of gum in the hand.

DOJ Pay Cut

For not complying with the fast and furious probe. I’m not impressed. When my employees do not comply, they are fired. Also, $1M out of billions? Meh.

Swaying to the symphony . . .

Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine: When people in Washington say they’re going to take away my guns, they better bring theirs if they’re going to take mine.

I’d have guessed as much:

Protest/Counterprotest

Heh

Lots of AR-15 makers are out of stuff

Real looking toy light saber

Pretty cool:

You can get them here.

Theft

Man traveling with $22K to buy a car gets pulled over for speeding. No crime, no charges, no evidence but they took his cash:

“The safest place to put your money if it’s legitimate is in a bank account,” the officer told NewsChannel 5 Investigates. “He stated he had two. I would put it in a bank account. It draws interest and it’s safer.”

“But it’s not illegal to carry cash,” we noted.

“No, it’s not illegal to carry cash. Again, it’s what the cash is being used for to facilitate or what it is being utilized for.”

“But you had no proof that money was being used for drug trafficking, correct? No proof?”

“And he couldn’t prove it was legitimate.”

He doesn’t have to you idiot. And this is why the answer to ‘may I search your car?’ is always no.

Random Obama and gay marriage thoughts

So, Obama is now progressive on gay marriage, like Ted Olson and Dick Cheney. I don’t recall those two getting a lot of pats on the back from pundits and media for it. Gee, I wonder why?

Also, on the drive to school, I listen to the local affiliate of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy radio for weather and traffic. The topic was, of course, gay marriage. And they were getting the usual calls from people poo-pooing gay marriage. After about a minute, I changed it. I don’t want my kids listening to that nonsense. We know a few gay couples and our kids think nothing of it. And let’s keep it that way.

What the hell?

The ridiculous cover of Time magazine on attachment parenting is pretty close to child porn.

“cheap 22”

The Savage Mark II FV-SR.

Very cool

Thirteen year old girl invents lollipop that cures hiccups: Hiccupops. I wonder if these will be given the OK by the .gov or if another kids is about to get an education in bureaucracy.
