Learn something new every day...
A Federale court in Washington D. C. has overturned the city's gun ban on Second Amendment grounds. While perusing the anti-gun websites for responsesI came across this gem from the misnamed Gun Guys website:
Handguns are a type of firearm that did not exist before or after the Constitution, until they became mass marketed after the Civil War. So how can they have been protected under the Second Amendment when they didn’t exist at the time?
A person could get better knowledge from Hollyweird history than from a self-proclaimed "Gun Guy" who is pretending to have a clue about what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the 2nd Amendment. Consider the historical movies: The Patriot, Master & Commander, The Alamo, and Last of the Mohicans. All of them had period correct handguns in the films. Another note from actual history, what do the "gun guys" think Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton with...an assault rifle?
Knew it was gonna be a bad day when...
I was cooking a hamburger for dinner only to discover that I had ran out of Velveeta. A couple of hours later at work, one of the maintenance guys came over and put up a poster telling us to run our clocks up an hour this weekend because of that infernal Daylight Savings Time Bull $hit. I desperately need every single second of beauty sleep that I can get and those Congresscritters decided to move DST up earlier than ever before. D@mn them.
Bank Pool lovers rejoice
Some wonderful person has put up a series of videos on You Tube of a 9-Ball Banks gambling session between "Bugs" Rucker and the late Gary Spaeth from the '93 L.A. Open.
Knew it was gonna be a bad day when...
I was running a wee bit late for work when I drove up behind a tan coloured Dodge Dynasty. I pulled over into the other lane to go around the car when the driver, for some reason known only to her, apparently decided to run me off the road. I had to get in the emergency lane and was close to the shoulder when thankfully she decided that might not be a very bright idea after all. She was a blonde with a mullet...I got safely around her and arrived at work on time.

We Singles need to "shack up"
An article in the UK Guardian advises all those singles living alone to find them a roomie to help save the planet. So shacking up is an environmentally responsible activity.
Trapped in 9-ball Hell
Twice in recent days while playing one-pocket, those darn 9-ball players have come over and asked: "Uhhhhh, you wanna play 9-ball?" Not only no, but Hell no. One of those demented individuals racked up an 8-ball game, after being dispatched 3 or 4 quick games he departed back to the land of bangers.
Blue or Bestiality States
There have been a couple of stories in recent days concerning Blue Staters who have or have had sex with animals. There is even a farm in the Blue State of Washington that provides animals for these < insert expletive here >. According to this story about a Washington State individual who died after having sex with a horse, there are over a dozen states where this type of activity isn't illegal. Here is a story of a Californian who "screwed the pooch".

Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalist extraordinaire, shot himself in the head with a .45.
What Would Devil Anse Do? WWDAD
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A new class that seeks to teach youngsters how to lose their Appalachian accents has set off an age-old phonetic debate: Should mountain natives drop the drawl or hold tightly to their twang?
Why they should hold to it as tight as hick'ry bark if you ask me. I think Devil Anse Hatfield and Rand'l McCoy would be none too pleased with this turn of events in Pike County. They might even roll over in their graves if they knew mountain kids would be doing such as this. Maybe they need to start a course that would teach people how to speak the Appalachian dialect before they start teaching kids how to lose it. I even changed into my overalls when I saw this as a form of protest.
We're A-OK until 2042!
Senator Kennedy and other assorted henchmen from the Democrat party are assailing President Bush's proposal to allow citizens to keep 2-4% of their Social Security withholdings to place into their own personal private accounts. They are shouting from the rooftops and anywhere a microphone can be found that allowing citizens to keep this minute portion of their earnings will cost the Federale gov't two trillion dollars! If Social Security is in such fine fettle, why praytell are they reacting in such a manner?
Of course, not every citizen in this country is intelligent enough to handle their own affairs and some would spend the 2-4% on beer, cigarettes, and "rasslin" tickets. Besides, if citizens had their own supplemental accounts, how then will the Democrats scare the old people with the familiar phrase: "Those evil meanie Republicans want to take your Social Security away".
Farewell to a freedom fighter
Sad news courtesy of Sierra Times, long-time Second Amendment activist Neal Knox has lost his battle with colon cancer.
Non Compos Mentis, Delusions of Granduer or Drunk?
According to John Wilder: Not withstanding that, the national Republican Party and the state Republican Party targeted John Wilder as the number one person to beat in the United States because they wanted to replace John Wilder with a Republican speaker. in this interview with the Tennessean. Has Wilder ever heard of John Kerry and the office of the President of the United States of America? What a ludicrous statement and I have no idea of the rationale behind it.
Et tu, Brute!
It wasn't even the Ides of March when this display of backstabbing occurred in the State Capitol. RINO Senators Mike Williams and Tim Burchett chose to support Democrat John Wilder for Speaker of the Senate and Lt. Governor over the Senate Majority Leader Republican Ron Ramsey. Despite the first Republican controlled Senate since 1864, the actions of these two turncoats have allowed the Democrats to retain the chairmanship over a majority of the Senate committees including the two most powerful committees: Finance and Commerce. Wilder rewarded these ne'er-do-wells by naming Mike Williams Speaker Pro Tempore and Tim Burchett to a seat on the Finance and Commerce committees.
Bredesen proposes TennCare changes, "Progressives" play dead!
An article at TN-IMC tells how several progressive groups react to news of the changes to TennCare proposed by Governor Bredesen. Liberals/Progressives opposed to change...who da thunk it?
Vols dominate A&M
Well now that's more like it. A complete and utter @$$ whooping was inflicted on the Aggies of Texas A&M by those unpredictable Volunteers in front of a crowd of close to 80% Aggie fans at the Cotton Bowl. 38-7 was the final score. Rick Clausen had a heck of a game throwing 3 TDs and Gerald Riggs added 102 yards on the ground plus a TD of his own.
Auburn Tigers are SEC Champions
What a pathetic display by the defense of the UT Volunteers. 102 total points in a three game span. When they weren't giving up big plays, there was a penalty. There was an absolute bonehead late hit on the Auburn QB Jason Campbell by Parys Haralson. Your final score was Auburn 38 Tennessee 28. A phenomenal game by RB Gerald Riggs against Auburn's fantastic defense comes to naught.
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Denver Mayor John Hinckenscrooge backtracked today after the shiite hit the fan regarding his decision to change a sign proclaiming Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays next year. It seems that he and others decided that even though Christmas is one of the holidays that occurs in the "Happy Holidays" timeframe saying the words "Merry Christmas" is no longer politically correct. Thankfully, however enough concerned citizens remain defiantly politically incorrect enough to force a change of plans.
500 Greatest Songs My Ar$e
Those troglodytes at Rolling Stone have come out with what they call the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It sounds like a bunch of Bravo Sierra to me. I'm quite certain that residents of the Orange Nation will be quite stunned to learn that Rocky Top is nowhere to be found in these so-called 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The same goes for the Southern National Anthem Dixie. Sweet Home Alabama is way way way too low at #398, Freebird is #191 and the CDB's Legend of Wooley Swamp is nowhere to be found... The Eagles have only Hotel California and Desperado on the list. The Allman Brothers Band has only 1 song: Whipping Post. The Clarence Carter classic Strokin', it aint on there either...absolutely ridiculous. And where praytell is the Cover of the Rolling Stone by Dr. Hook? Just to show you what those heathens consider to be great Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana ranks up there at #9. Yep, it sure smells rank alright.
