Shutgun, set, hike: 10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down

Just because it’s good and controversial:

By cutting off federal funding for research and stymieing data collection and sharing, the National Rifle Association has tried to do to the study of gun violence what climate deniers have done to the science of global warming. No wonder: When it comes to hard numbers, some of the gun lobby’s favorite arguments are full of holes.

Myth #1: They’re coming for your guns.
Fact-check: No one knows the exact number of guns in America, but it’s clear there’s no practical way to round them all up (never mind that no one in Washington is proposing this). Yet if you fantasize about rifle-toting citizens facing down the government, you’ll rest easy knowing that America’s roughly 80 million gun owners already have the feds and cops outgunned by a factor of around 79 to 1.

Global Warm this: If Crazy was a horse race, North Carolina is taking the lead

When Science hands North Carolina hard, indisputable facts about Global Warming, North Carolina knows what to do with it.

Just like a Yeshua Fog parent with a gay child, they ignore him, that’s what.

They throw him or her out with the bathwater.

Ignorance … [strong inhale] … that’s the shit, man.

Cough. Cough.

Cough.

From that liberal rag the LA Times:

As a coastal state, North Carolina faces the same global climate challenges of rising sea levels and turbulent weather that island countries and other coastal regions have begun to confront, and to ask what to do next: Do they build walls? Draw their population inland and upland?

Here’s the NoCa solution: pretend it’s not happening. Pass a law saying it can’t happen because we say it can’t. Which is to say, ban any government agency from using the standard scientific tools like extrapolating data to figure out what’s happening, and thus avoid all those scary, silly scientific facts and figures.

North Carolina cannot get out of the spotlight. With her batting down of the homos left and right and now the blind-eye turning, Global-Warming avoiding perspective they’re now legislating … we can only hope someone is right and Jesus comes back to swoop up all these yahoos into the heavens.

Just kidding. I have no proof that Jesus is ever coming back. It’s not like, say, Global Warming or anything.

Besides family and friends live in NC. Or NoCa as the article writes.

Let’s all bow our heads into our open palms and shake our heads back and forth.

What else can we do?

The Crazy is winning the horserace in NoCa, and nobody noticed my sweet-ass, larger-than-Audrey-Hepburn’s hat that I’ve been wearing.

What a bummer.

Thanks, Xina!

Meowy Christmas and Happy Howlidays

So you guys are my guinea pigs. Tina and I have been working on our annual motion picture holiday card, and think we’re finally ready to send it out.

It’s not my best work, but it’s a lot of fun. Said and done, I think I have to release it and let it be what it is. There’s no more snow in the forecast for now, and I usually want my card to be snowy.

By the time the snow fell, it was already melting away. It was like snow in North Carolina.

Damn you, Global Warming.

Admittedly, it makes us out to be those pet people … those crazy ones. You know what I’m talking about.

But the music was a total find. It’s from a stock music site that sells great options. And if it weren’t for the music, some of this video wouldn’t work.

Drop below the fold and watch the vid. Please give feedback as this thing is going to friends and family tomorrow or Wednesdog.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a scientist driving a Ferrari …

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of seeing scientists showing off their money.

I mean, Rick Perry is right. He tells it like it is. The above video of Perry telling the world that scientists are using global warming as a get-rich scam is spot on. What, with all the scientists prancing around in their posh sport coats and ties.

Scientists! Those gluttonous, fat bastards!

They have the biggest houses, the best cars, and eat at all the nicest restaurants.

They are the fat-man stereotypes that you see in all the movies that expose the difference between the rich and the poor.

That’s Global Warming for you, just another way that the chichi scientists, flanked with the hottest women wearing the hottest silk suits, are taking the whole of the Earth on a ride in their gullible machine.

Wait, what?

Here’s the deal. From now on, if you believe that a there was a Moses, a Noah’s ark, a giant killed with a pebble, a woman created from a man’s rib, or a man lived two thousand years ago, was murdered and raised from the dead, you don’t get to say things like, “I don’t believe in things that are presented to the world with stone-cold facts and evidence.”

Let’s take it a step further! The words: “I don’t believe in” shouldn’t be found in your vocal repertoire.

If belief in things unseen and un-mistakeably impossible is something you subscribe to in the most general way, you don’t get “I don’t believe in” privileges.

Card revoked.

Move along.

Global Warming Blasphemy Laws

The next time you – or your loved one – blasphemes in the god’s of anti-science’s name or global warming deity ignorance, you could find yourself getting bum-barded in prison (if you know what I mean).

And I don’t mean poetry is going to be sung from your bum.

It’s so Cold, there can’t be Global Warming

Glenn Beck: Climate Change Cover Up

– November 23, 2009 – Pt 4 of 6 –

I haven’t had a chance to research this yet, the whole global warming conspiracy. I’ve been following quite a bit of the global warming research that’s been going on for at least 50 to 60 years.

Science needs a big fat kick in the nuts about this one (if it’s true) and they even deserve a few sack thraps from old Becky Pooh, too.

This reminds me that I need to find and post the internal memo from Fox News that says they don’t consider Glenn Beck news, they consider him editorial commentary, which is corporate speak for “beguiling biased mangy mutt.”

Regardless of whether or not global warming IS or ISN’T true, our effect on this planet must be considered. I have not approached this issue from the standpoint that global warming exists, but that global issues exist, and it starts with industries and global pollution. I don’t care what it’s doing to weather, it’s definitely making a dent in where I can put my trash.

There’s so much trash over at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, 18th Floor New York, New York 10036, that it’s spilling over into a national epidemic.
