The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Via Dave Adams on Facebook, I found a Saturday Night Live video I’d never seen before that features Charlton Heston in response to the Brady Bill passage. You have to be able to laugh at yourself, and it allows him to make the point that criminals could still get guns even as the law-abiding had to wait.

Apparently a bar just floated off, and arrived in Brookyn still well stocked. What would have made this story a truly humorous component to this otherwise cluster fsck of a storm would be if the NYPD had opened it up to find a few drunks still inside drinking.
Over at Joe Huffman’s. I will excerpt a portion:
Hollow points are evil because they’re made to inflict maximum damage upon soft flesh. Jacketed rounds are evil because they’re designed for military use, and penetrate armor. Lead rounds are evil because they poison our beloved vultures. Non-lead rounds are evil because they start fires and/or penetrate armor.
In response to concerns over the innate evilness of so much of their product line, in January of this year ammunition manufacturer ATK/Teksystems began investigating the possibility of crafting bullets exclusively from puppy love and rainbows, to be dubbed their new PLRB line of politically sensitive ammunition.
RTWT. I have nothing to add either.
…Â I guess it helps to do it in some style, like Ted Nugent’s drummer:
People are always fleeing police, but usually it’s in a vehicle where they have a chance to get away. That wasn’t the case for Mick Brown, drummer for Ted Nugent, who tried to make his escape in a golf cart […]Â Brown, who was reportedly intoxicated, evaded several people who tried to stop him and somehow picked up two women along the way, the department says on its Facebook page.
I guess he was doing pretty well with the golf cart if he had the time to pick up two women while making his get away. Well, if this has any impact on his career as a drummer, those of you who follow Tam’s blog know he may have a potentially successful career option with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Who can’t use a set of Presidential Rubber Duckies or Patriotic Rubber Duckies?
As Sebastian noted when I found these, the patriotic set needs a militiaman in the group.
Earlier in the day, I left a comment over at Tam’s place, in regards to King Bloomberg’s latest anti-soda proclamation, that started like this:
The real irony is that you can still head out to Dunkin Donuts in New York and buy yourself a cream filled donut, which probably has just as many calories and sugar as a 20oz coke, and with a nice heaping helping of fat to boot.
I admit that I laughed. I also shared it on Facebook to my friends and family who have probably donated.
Social Security Reform Bill Encourages Americans To Live Faster, Die Younger
While this bit of humor from the Onion might be good for a chuckle, it probably wouldn’t be the worst idea actual members of Congress have proposed in real life.
