Bastids, farging bastids

Via cbulllitt we find a link to Nicky Goomba where we find that they're not done trying to shackle us.
As Goomba said, google hr-45, the first link is to Thomas.loc.gov, they post bills online.
This fine little bill is all about gun registration.
Quote
The term `qualifying firearm'-
(A) means-`(i) any handgun; or `(ii) any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device;

All handguns and it will turn out to be all semi-autos, somehow I figure they'll include clips in that "detachable ammunition feeding device" so a Garand is included.

And what do they do with these firearms?
It shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to possess a qualifying firearm on or after the applicable date, unless that person has been issued a firearm license--

These bastards are just relentless, every fucking day there's another fucking outrage.
They get your fingerprints and all your personal info and they give you a license.
They record what guns you own (for when they go to confiscation) and you have to renew every 5 years (every 5 year anniversary of your birthdate), you have to pay to buy a gun.
But wait, there's still more! Remember Probable Cause and Illegal Search and Seizure?
Unnecessary
In order to ascertain compliance with this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the regulations and orders issued under this Act, the Attorney General may, during regular business hours, enter any place in which firearms or firearm products are manufactured, stored, or held, for distribution in commerce, and inspect those areas where the products are so manufactured, stored, or held.

Words don't fail me, but they're all full of threats and whatnot so I'll won't say them
I will comment on this
`(ff) Failure To Provide Notice of Change of Address- It shall be unlawful for any individual to whom a firearm license has been issued under title I of Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 to fail to report to the Attorney General a change in the address of that individual within 60 days of that change of address.'.

Fuck you very much.

The World Turned Upside Down

Up is down. Black is white. A Republican is Senator from Massachusetts. And the voice of reason is...Kos?

There's several messages to learn from this fiasco, but chief among them -- if you decide to run for office, then respect the freakin' voters and work your ass off for their vote. They are angry, frustrated, and looking for a sign that you get their concerns. Going on vacation doesn't cut it. Campaigning your heart out gets you a good of the way there.

Huh. Would you look at that. No stolen election conspiracies. No mention of Chimpy McBu$hitler or KKKarl Rove. No cries of RAAAAACISM!!!! No childish "teabagger" references (he saves those for a later post, but still). He's actually even kinda-sorta praising Brown for running a good campaign.

We are truly through The Looking Glass, people.

Nannies don't like their charges drink, after all.

In an effort to keep people from drinking, the UK is banning having fun while drinking.

 LONDON (Reuters) - Tough new rules for pubs and clubs -- including a ban on drinking games like the infamous "dentist's chair" -- will be introduced in Britain this year in a bid to curb a heavy drinking culture that costs the country billions of a pounds a year.

Other promotions like "all you can drink for 10 pounds ($16)," speed drinking competitions and "women drink free" nights will also be prohibited.

But, controversially, bulk offers of cheap alcohol in supermarkets -- widely regarded as one of the main sources of Britain's problems with under-age and excessive drinking -- will not be affected.

Home Secretary Alan Johnson said he did not want to target responsible drinkers on low incomes, but that the government and the industry had a duty to act on booze-fueled promotions.

"These practices have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out," he said.

The dentist's chair, where drinks are poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne at Euro '96.

It will be banned from April and publicans will have to ensure free tap water is made available to revelers.

Getting shit wrong does not in any way undermine your credibility.

For example, if I were to say, "An asteroid is going to smash into the earth tomorrow, and all life on the planet will be wiped out," and, subsequently, no asteroid hit the earth and life on the planet continued as normal, as long as I said, "Woah, when I said tomorrow, I meant in 300 years," it'd be cool.

Right?

Well, such logic may not apply to us peons, but it abso-fucking-lutely applies to climate scientists.  Why is that, you ask?  You shut your fucking mouth, that's why!

The vice-chairman of the UN's climate science panel has admitted it made a mistake in asserting that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) included the date in its 2007 assessment of climate impacts.

A number of scientists have recently disputed the 2035 figure, and Jean-Pascal van Ypersele told BBC News that it was an error and would be reviewed.

But he said it did not change the broad picture of man-made climate change.

The issue, which BBC News first reported on 05 December, has reverberated around climate websites in recent days.

Some commentators maintain that taken together with the contents of e-mails stolen last year from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, it undermines the credibility of climate science.

Dr van Ypersele said this was not the case.

"I don't see how one mistake in a 3,000-page report can damage the credibility of the overall report," he said.

"Some people will attempt to use it to damage the credibility of the IPCC; but if we can uncover it, and explain it and change it, it should strengthen the IPCC's credibility, showing that we are ready to learn from our mistakes."

The claim that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035 appears to have originated in a 1999 interview with Indian glaciologist Syed Hasnain, published in New Scientist magazine.

The figure then surfaced in a 2005 report by environmental group WWF - a report that is cited in the IPCC's 2007 assessment, known as AR4.

An alternative genesis lies in the misreading of a 1996 study that gave the date as 2350.

AR 4 asserted: "Glaciers in the Himalayas are receding faster than in any other part of the world... the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high."

Jonah Falcon, Man With World's Largest Penis, Unemployed In New York

Since being profiled in Rolling Stone and appearing in an HBO documentary about his 13.5 inch penis, the 39-year-old Brooklyn native has struggled to find a steady job and is now living at home with his mother

Maybe he should have though of that before pulling his junk out on TV. Jus' sayin' is all.

(Received via email with laugh track attached. My friends apparently have no sympathy for Mr. Falcon)

Consumer whoredom ftw!

Wow I want this (pic below)



The coat's nice too.

Actually, I am totally addicted to Etsy.  I find it hilarious that a site which can seem all hippie dippy is actually a blast furnace of capitalism.  Now, if you excuse me, I need to go buy some more steampunk jewelry.

Paul Krugman - You know who Obama doesn't blame enough? George Bush that's who.

At this point it's official the man has gone batshit insane

It’s instructive to compare Mr. Obama’s rhetorical stance on the economy with that of Ronald Reagan. It’s often forgotten now, but unemployment actually soared after Reagan’s 1981 tax cut. Reagan, however, had a ready answer for critics: everything going wrong was the result of the failed policies of the past. In effect, Reagan spent his first few years in office continuing to run against Jimmy Carter.

Mr. Obama could have done the same — with, I’d argue, considerably more justice. He could have pointed out, repeatedly, that the continuing troubles of America’s economy are the result of a financial crisis that developed under the Bush administration, and was at least in part the result of the Bush administration’s refusal to regulate the banks.

But he didn’t.

What the hell has been going on since last January then?  Maybe Krugman was abducted by aliens and has spent the last year in an alternate universe where Obama never speaks?

Whose fault is this?

The schadenfreude is so fucking tasty.

Do they make Diet Schadenfreude these days? Because, seriously, I'm trying to lose a few pounds. And the stuff that I've been fed over the past few days? Fattening as sugary, saturated trans fat-laden hell itself.

It's Election Day!

It's now Election Day in Massachusett[e]s. What just a few weeks ago was an afterthought in the Bluest of Blue states is now poised to become one of the greatest electoral shockers in a loooong time, which is causing some epic premeltdowns from Sully (safe link to Newsbusters) and Olby.

And this song came to mind regarding the election, and how close we are to denting the Democrat stranglehold in Massachusett[e]s.


Fuck the Democrats. Fuck them with history.

And so it begins.

You only need to watch the first 18 seconds.
I have a friend who works for NOAA as a meteorologist.
He loves my emails. He and his co-workers have to be careful about expressing denialist sympathies but he can forward my emails with a "Look what this guy is saying now."

They're laughing their butts off over the East Anglia deal and all the rest of the great unraveling.
I have a feeling lots of weatherman are The ones who've looked at the data and thought, "Ummmmm, that doesn't make any freaking sense" but who had to keep their mouths shut.
