Immigration blah blah blah....

That asshat Bush lost me and most of my conservative friends months ago. (That absolutely does not mean I'm a Democrat, wish Kerry had won, or would ever consider voting for a Democrat, so settle down.) The Republicans have successfully convinced me to never vote for them again. I'll vote third party, I'll write in Buchannon, or I'll make a conscious decision not to vote. Thanks for bending me over the toilet and ramming it up my ass Republicans.

Anyway, I've got a guy working for me who loved Bush like I love single malt. Late 50's veteran of the Korean war ("I was holding back the yellow hoard before you were even a twinkle in your father's eye...") who has defended EVERYTHING Bush has done since he was elected. True dittohead who takes Limbaughs word as if it came down from God himself. He has had a picture of Bush hanging in his living room until this past weekend. He took it down. He gave up on Bush. If Bush managed to lose this guy...

Finally!!!!

Thanks to a little haggling with the boys at Collectors Coin Gallery and the fact that there was absolutely nothing at the Wilmington Shriners gun show I am now the proud owner of my favorite gun of all time, a 1911. A Smith 1911 to be exact which brings me up to 5 S&W's. Hurray for me!

I've already ordered a set of ultrathin cocbolo grips and a SWEET holster from K&D. (Eagle Defender in burgundy with thumb break and my initials!)

Um, what?

No Words.

I while ago I ranted about the parents of Poppy Zegger-Murphy having trouble with their visas. Today I found this...

POPPY ZEGGER-MURPHY

I regret to tell you that little Poppy passed away peacefully last week. Please pray for parents and grandparents. It must be heartbreaking when everything was going so well. The parents sent me an e-mail thanking the parishioners of Hornchurch for all their wonderful support which was greatly appreciated. At least she is a little angel in heaven.

I'm so sorry for their loss. I can't even imagine. I can't wait to go home and see my daughter.

More Natural Selection

Police shoot teen in school standoff.

I'm totally ok with this.

LONGWOOD -- A Milwee Middle School eighth-grader, who last year threatened to blow up a school bus, showed up for class Friday with a pistol in his backpack.

However, classmates of Chris Penley, 15, didn't know it was a pellet gun.

Oh well.

Neither did a veteran Seminole County deputy sheriff, who made a split-second decision to open fire when Chris pointed the weapon at him.

Good decision.

The deputy's single shot gravely wounded the boy, who was on life support Friday at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Nice shootin'!

While investigators were trying to figure out what prompted the boy's actions, classmates said a dispute over a girl might have led to the tragedy.

How about plain old crazy? How about shitty parents? How about crazy and shitty parents?

Chris told a student at breakfast in the cafeteria that he was going to beat up another boy and then was spotted carrying a gun in his backpack, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Sounds like he was fine young lad. Little punk ass.

I'm really glad that this little peice of shit took a bullet. I hope the officer is taking it OK because he absolutely did the right thing. Fuck this kid. Who knows what kind of shit he would have pulled as he got older. Nice fucking parenting folks.

Awww. Too bad.

Dead murderer. Murdering women and children in the line of duty. Thug. Can you die from a guilty conscience? Plenty pertaining to what I'm talking about here.

Quincy Cop Loses Gun

Heh. Wow, Quincy of all places. Where the civilians shall not be issued a carry permit. (I know, I know, cops are civilians but we all know they don't fancy themselves civilian.) Of course, the offending officer's license won't be revoked. Check it out here. Bruce at mASS BACKWARDS is going to have a field day with this. (I hope.)

Veterans Day

I couldn't help but notice that Google changes their logo on just about all holidays to something festive or relating to the holiday.

Not Veterans Day though.

Hmmm. Odd.

Anyway.

Thanks Dad, Gramp, the Beirut Marine next door, the angry Korea vets I work with, Uncle Dick, Doug, and Larry. Thanks Buddy Mage. Thanks guys in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thanks guys who served in Vietnam and Korea. Thanks Spec Op guys doing crazy stuff in crazy places. Thanks veterans of WWII and WWI. Thanks to everyone who has risked or lost their lives to defend the best country in the world. You are our country.

Faded Glory.

So, my buddy and I got into a discussion about Wal-Mart the other day. "They're bad, they're not that bad...blah blah blah." I won't bore you with it.

This morning, while I was in the head taking a Kennedy, since my pants were around my ankles I decided to take a look at the tags on my $10 Wal-Mart jeans. (Get off my balls, I'm on a budget and I need pants for work. Well, do I? Yeah I do.)

After I little searching, I found that my jeans are made in Pakistan. Hmmmm. OK.

Then, I looked at the back tag. "Faded Glory. The way America lives"

You gotta' be kidding me. Is that a joke. Pakistanis must be pissing themselves while the sew these things up. Faded Glory? Jeez. Was there already a trade mark on "Fallen Empire?" How about "Former Superpower."

Bruce's rules.

Check out the rules Bruce from mASSBACKWARDS has laid down. I'll be employing the same rules.

King Edward I You scored 66 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 52 Guts, and 51 Ruthlessness!

Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests of his people at heart. But God help you if you got on his bad side.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 58% on Unorthodox You scored higher than 58% on Tactics You scored higher than 39% on Guts You scored higher than 60% on Ruthlessness

The Gun from Ipanema

Yeow!

Brazilians vote to keep there guns.

One man shot dead by opponent of ban during a debate

No that's how you debate an issue! I'd like to see Ted Kennedy involved in a similar means of debate.

More than two thirds of Brazilians vote against banning firearms

I sometimes doubt we could do so well.

If you take guns away from people and leave them only in the hands of criminals, what will happen?" - Yome, 80, opponent of the ban

No shit? They get it in Brazil? They don't get it in Boston. No shit.

I have to say I'm impressed.

Lynn Bars

Really funny post over on the Boston Noise forum. Of course it's commented on by a bunch af Allston hipster fucktards but you don't have to read all of that.

Fourth Place!

Hurray! At least we excel at something! The Lynn Item reports this.

City ranks fourth in violent crimes

Do we get a trophy?

An annual crime statistics report released by the FBI this week indicates that there were 990 violent crimes reported in the city in 2004, which translates into about one violent crime for every 90 residents.
The statistics put Lynn right below Springfield, Boston and Fall River, respectively, in a class of cities with the highest crimes rates in the state.
Compared to Lynn's 1-in-90 ratio, Springfield had one crime committed for every 54 residents - making it the city with the highest rate of violent crimes in the state. Boston and Fall River both had one crime committed for every 83 residents

But we're working on it.

While the numbers represent a slight increase in the crime rate from the previous year in Lynn, Police Chief John Suslak responded to the FBI's report by defending the department's recent crackdown on gang violence and efforts to revive the former days of community policing.

No offense chief, but I drive by these gang bangers just about every other day. they ain't hard to find. Do something.

"(The numbers) are higher than we'd like to see," Suslak said. "Unfortunately, a lot of the violent crimes are part of the gang environment. It's not like this is occurring randomly."

So...

Clancy said while the gang presence of the city concerns him, he doesn't believe the average person is affected or at-risk of violence.

Dope.

ommmmmm.

I'm not reading the news, listening to talk radio, or reading blogs for a week to see if it makes me a happier person. The fact that I am absolutely steaming and it's only 9:56 AM Monday morning is the reason why. blah blah blah. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

For now, heres 2 guys drinking in a boat. On dry land. In a garage. Everett style.

Poppy Zegger-Murphy

This makes me so fucking mad I could cry. In fact I did a little. With all the fucking filth we let stream over our borders we are busting this poor couples balls?!?!?!? This is where we choose to be firm on our policies? ALL THEY WANT IS A FUCKING GREEN CARD SO THEY CAN WORK TO PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS NECESSARY TO SAVE THEIR DAUGHTER'S LIFE WHILE STAYING CLOSE TO THEIR DAUGHTER!!! THEY DON"T WANT A HANDOUT!

There is more info here.

I'll update this later. I'm too fucking distraught right now.

More here.

"We would like to get the green card so that we can support ourselves. We're trying to do the right thing. We don't want to be a burden on society," says Zegger-Murphy.




"Anyone wishing to donate towards care costs for Poppy is asked to send money to: Natwest Bank, 121 High St, Oxford, OX1 4DD, Sort Code: 60-70-03, Account Number 50086405.

Alternatively, people can send cheques made payable to Chris or Philomena Zegger-Murphy, C/O 16 Florence Street, Hucknall, Nottingham NG15 6EB."

That's the only address I can find so far. I'd feel better about a US contact address. If I find one I'll post it.

Update.

A little more here.
