July Blogmeat!

For those who haven't checked the links on the sidebar:

ON THE SIDEBAR:

PUBLICOLA has a serious case of the jaws over Columbus, Ohio.

First, Columbus is trying to re-institute the AWB. Publicola says that Columbus can go straight to hell! (Also mentioned Here.)

Then, in case he couldn't sufficiently vent his bile on just one state, he took on Indiana ... whose cops stole a gun from an Octogenarian!


Next Gullyborg presents a powerful correspondance between Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich.

It's worth the read. Gingrich has some things to say which appeal to this Geek.

Kim Du Toit informs us that BATFE has just enacted a regulation which would make it impossible to buy gun parts, if they can be assembled into a firearm which would be illegal. Doesn't matter if the part is for a legal firearm ... if it also fits an illegal firearm, you can't have it.

You have 60 days to think about his one. Kim recommends stocking up on parts, and parenthetically curses Georgh H.W. Bush for his Executive Order which legitimized the regulation. (H/T rivrdog)


Little Green Footballs shows Jaques Chirac gloating because He's Not British.
Well, Chirac is a Frog. You have to expect cheezy demeanor from a cheese-eating surrender monkey.


The Japanese are typically 'bosom challenged'. At least THEY think so.
Sondra K illustrates the latest Tokyo Fad ... The Nipponese Solution.

... and they wonder why they lost the war.

On the other hand (sorry), Michael Bane describes The American Military Solution.
What is it?
Guns.
Big Guns.
The American military is searching for a replacement for the issue handgun, the pathetic 9mm Baretta.

Now, that's what I'm talking about!

NOT ON THE SIDEBAR:

You know your TV?
I'll bet it's Analog, right?

After 2009 ... it won't work no more. You're gonna have to buy a new one, because broadcasters will no longer be broadcasting analog signals. They'll only be broadcasting Digital Signals.

The good news: if you're connected to Cable, or Dish, they'll probably translate the signal for you.
The bad news: otherwise, you'll either have to buy a $50 converter, or a new TV.

It's all about money, and pockets.
Your money, into their pockets.

The upside is that the signal will be clearer. Yeah, right.



You know your country?
Yeah, that's right. The United States of America.

ABC News reports that we probably already have terrorist 'sleeper cells' in place. Yeah, that's right. The same folks who brought us the London Subway Bombings on 7/7. You remember that they were reported as having used commercial (or military) explosives? Dig this, from ABC:

Tools of Terror Are Within Reach

For those willing to carry out attacks, there are plenty of explosives readily available.

From 2001 to 2004, more than 16,000 pounds of high explosives were stolen from construction sites and demolition companies, according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Equally as alarming, more than 60,000 pounds of blasting agents like ammonium nitrate — the same chemical used in the Oklahoma City bombing — were stolen, as well.

One of the explosive materials preferred by terrorists around the world is a homemade concoction called TATP. An ABC News team today bought three of the primary chemicals used to make TATP at local hardware and drug stores.

And GW doesn't want to reinforce our borders.

But here's some good news!

Mexico's President feels our pain, and he's willing to help reinforce our southern borders!
Yeah Baby Yeah!

Oops! But there's a catch.
Like a war-zone whore, there's always a catch with this guy.

He'll tighten up the border ... but he wants amnesty for Mexican citizens who are already in the United Stages illegally.

In what is being characterized as international blackmail, the former foreign minister of Mexico has told a Senate committee his nation will not cooperate with the U.S. on border-security issues unless a number of immigration-related action is taken – including amnesty for illegal aliens.

On Tuesday, former Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castaneda told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing: "No border security is possible without Mexican cooperation" and "there can be no cooperation [from the Mexican government] without some sort of immigration reform package."

So you gotta ask yourself, why do these ho-dads push us so hard? What's in it for them ... really. After all, they're leaking the part of their population with the most courage, the most initiative. Why do they want to send them to us?

The reason is that these folks are coming to America to find work, and they do find work. They send a huge chunk of their wages back home to Mexico.

Do you have any idea how much foreign currency this brings in to Mexico each year?

Hey, remember their petroleum reserves? Well, they get more Gringo Bucks from their citizens who cross the border illegally and send money home to their families, than they get from the TOTAL sales of all their petroleum.

And it doesn't cost them NOTHING! And they get to keep their petroleum reserves for their own use.

These folks are like ticks on a dog. They may serve a purpose, but they're sucking blood while they're clinging to America.

So Vincenzo Fox has America in a bind. If we can't control our borders, we have to ask our neighbors to do it for us .. and they're asking for blood.

If we don't quit scratching, they'll just let anybody who wants to pass through Mexico to America. This includes the MS-13 central american bandidos who are rumored to be helping pass contraband across the border ... possibly including nuclear weapons. This includes the "OTM" (Other Than Mexicans" portion of the illegal alien flow, which for the past half year has been a SIGNIFICANT percentage of the people who stroll across our southern borders.

What's America doing about it?
We're relaxing security restrictions on incoming flights.


I don't want to leave you with a lot of negative feelings, I feel obliged to contribute one last link to a light-hearted, frivolous article so you won't go away bummered out.

But I won't.

That IS the news of the day.

Deal with it.


Okay, okay, I'll relax the bummer-rules to this extend:

GIBSON ASHAMED OF GAY KISS IN CHEAP MOVIE

There.
Do you feel better now?

That's what I thought.
