Campus shooting at Ohio:

One dead, two injured after OSU campus shooting
OSU Police were called to the Maintenance Building near Ohio Stadium around 3:30am Tuesday. By WTVN Newsroom Tuesday, March 9, 2010 OSU Police are investigating an early morning shooting on campus that left one person dead and two others injured. All three were university employees.

"One employee is dead. The other two were transported to OSU Hospital where one is in critical condition, the other is stable," said OSU Police Chief Paul Denton.

The Zero administration has decided to take over regulation of sport fishine in American waters.

"When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big game hunts in North America (spring bear), the results of their agenda had severe economic impacts on small family businesses and the tourism economy of communities across northern and central Ontario," said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.

"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

10 What did Rather say about Obama and watermellons? Isn't that "racist" or something...?

friend has been expecting this. Still doesn't know what he will do with his fishing boat that he charters out if what he expects to happen ends up in fact happening

16 13 Ohhh, I keep forgetting about that rule. Man, it sure does suck to be conservative in America. I wish I could be one of those liberals. They're so much better than me. Oh, well. I'm sure there's a gun somewhere around here that I can cling to.

17 Unless we can elect a solid majority of principled conservatives with spines of steel that will send Obama a budget with NO funding for NOAA, DOE, etc unless any such executive order is repealed and will not bend on a veto this country is not going to survive until BHO's term is ended.

18 Just to let you know that today way back in 1932 ford rolled their first v8 off the assembly line. Without henry ford would we have the killdozer? We may never know. Long live the v8 and may the prius continue to kill hippies.

19 I've been noticing a pattern: tuesdays are usually when something happens to change the whole "theme" of the week. I'm worried that today's news will be "Bart Stupak has reached an agreement with Pelosi". I'm very worried this will happen. I don't think the dems can afford another day of news headlines like "Pelosi is having a hard time controlling fellow democrats" and I guess that's why I'm worried about something goin on today.

No matter how much it is overplayed, the Deuce is still the sexiest hot rod

RINO Lindsey is at it again pushing amnesty this time with one of the worst asshole Dems in the Senate; Chuckie Cheesedick Shumer.

 

Short story from the WSJ via Fox:

 

ID Card for Workers at Center of Immigration Plan

 

Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

 

It would not surprise me if we won back the Senate that this cockholster didnÂ’t change parties.  But in any case this story doesnÂ’t have ANY details, only about a new “smart” ID card that they have pushed since the 9-11 Commission Report that everyone said would not work because it wouldnÂ’t take more than a few weeks before they were counterfeited in mass quantities.

 

So they want to use this as an excuse to reopen amnesty. Another bait and switch scheme just like the last one with “unenforceable” penalties to make it look like they were finally going to do something.

 

23 a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

But if you want to vote, you can't be required to show any proof of ID/citizenship/residents, because that's racist/classist/etc.

24

The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters. \

There IS a limit to what the jugeared asshole can do via executive order and we don't need the spineless congress to real him in. What we need is a class action suit to issue a stay on this BS.

Sport fisshing is controlled by federal regulation inacted by congress AND the States, not by executive order.

After we take congress back we need to impeach him over this kind of shit and the illegal bribes he has been up to.

25 What is it with Graham?  First, Crap and Trade (which then got scuttled) and now he rushes headlong into amnesty?  It's not popular, it's deadly in his caucus and with his base.  What the hell is he thinking?

28 22 Read on HotAir that Obama's reopening this to divide the GOP. I totally agree. I think this is good news because it shows Obama is desperate for a "win", and it will be another issue that will backfire on the dems. Bring it on!!!

29 I agree, Joffen, it can't be good for Obama long-term.  I know pundits see this as a big loser with Hispanics, but amnesty is wildly unpopular and will do nothing more than raise the ire of the tea partiers even more, let alone the general public who probably know enough economics to know that it is a terrible idea when funemployment is near 10% and real funemployment is over 15.

Furthermore, this will drive down his Strong Approval ratings because amnesty isn't popular among African Americans, to put it mildly.

Hahahaha; I have been following the weather forcast today closely.  Since noon yesterday they have changed it 3 times including twice today.  And they will predict temps 100 years from now???

You see Morons, today is my birthday and the porch rocker and crown are going to come out in about 1 hour.

I will not worry too much about old Lindsey after that. If he comes by and gives me any shit while I'm rocking and drinking I'll kick his ass up around his shoulders.

Then I'll have to get the neighbor's dog to come over and recover the gerbil after it fell out.

you know, there are alot of bubbas that fish.  most fishing bubbas also are gun owners. 

not speculating here, but what idiot is going to keep fishing charters from leaving Hatteras NC?  Islamorada FL?  (doesn't George Bush Sr fish out of there?)

41

Happy birthday Vic. Drink one for us morons.

 

 

Onsecond thought, maybe don't. niot sure your liver could survive that much alcohol.

42 Thanks MikeO

Shit, what do you think is going to happen from the Florida Panhandle to South Texas?  The wardens are going to be told to go eff themselves, if they're lucky.  If the feds try to move in and start seizing boats and throwing people in jail it is going to be very, very ugly.

I would hope the hatred for that bugeyed fuck could stand the test of time.  And happy birthday.

45 If the feds try to move in and start seizing boats and throwing people in jail it is going to be very, very ugly.

That is the biggest problem with the country right now.  We are at the leading edge of firming into an irresistible force/immovable object situation.

I could probably enumerate a couple dozen of if ______, then things are going to get very, very ugly examples.  Every one of these examples involves a showdown between overreach by the political class and resistance by the people.

The atmosphere is tense, and I think that is what has been setting off all the leftwing whackjobs of late.

I never pay much mind to opinion polls, but the most chilling number I have ever seen is that polled estimate that only one-in-five Americans think that the government is acting with the consent of the governed.

46 Graham is part of the problem, not as his feeble mind thinks, part of the solution. A deal with the Devil is still an evil transaction. He is a damn fool, nothing more. The GOP would do well to lighten the dead wood load.

47 I told him, "Julie, don't go," but would he listen to me? No.

48

Onsecond thought, maybe don't. niot sure your liver could survive that much alcohol.

LOL, just had my liver function test yesterday for all the pravastatin I'm taking. Cardiologist says ain't supposed to take more than two drinks.

Hahahahaha, been ignoring that.

But I'll drink one or two for all the Morons.

49

I'm reminded of the joke where the game warden goes out fishing with a local codger suspected of using dynamite instead of a rod and reel. Once they're out in the boat, the warden says, "You know why I'm out here, right?"

The codger just smiles, takes out a stick of dynamite, lights it, hands it to the warden and says, "You gonna talk or you gonna fish?"

50

I would think the charter boats could go out past 12 miles and the feds would have no sat-so over what they did.

In any case, as I said, he can not legally do this shit with an E.O.

59 Enemies of the environment.

60 If they can regulate/restrict fishing due to lead and other chemicals can hunting be far behind using the same argument?

61 Two 16oz tumblers of hooch.

Speaking of tumblers, has anyone else tried those Tervis Tumblers?  I got one as swag from a tech vendor at a client site.  They look cheesy as hell (clear polycarbonate nested to form a double-wall with an air gap as in a cheap thermos bottle), but they insulate very well.   I bought a couple of twelve-ouncers at Bed Bath and Beyond and use it for MikeOldFashioneds (that's just like an Old-Fashioned but without water, sugar, cherry, or orange--basically about six ounces of rye or bourbon with a couple of drops of bitters shaken with ice and then strained into the tumbler).

I mixed one of these drinks one night last week, set it down, and then forgot about it.  After sipping bourbon from that morning's coffee cup (MikeOKahlua) for about an hour, I ran across that drink when going for a refill.  There was no condensation ring on the counter (naturally), and it was still ice cold!

The fastest way to make fish and game laws meaningless is to take them from the hands of game managers (who are trained in wildlife management) and politicize them. At that point, there will be no fish and game laws.

The international bird treaty was one of the first unconditutional power grabs by the feds there was. That was the case in which the idiots on SCOTUS ruled that a treaty had the same weight and authority as a Consitutional Amendment even though it did not have the same requirements as an amendment.

Thankfully subsequent courts have backed them off of that to a large extent. Treatiews now have to meet the same consitutional tests as other laws passed.

But isn't it IRONIC that the Gaia bastards are going after hunters and fishers. The hunters and fishers are the ones who have largely been responsible for preservation of the wildlife and the environment.  All these GAIA clowns are johnny come lately commies.

But for the wrong reasons.  Intention is everything, outcome is irrelevant.

(Happy Birthday!)

It's the journey rather than the ostensible destination.

These are the little tinpot martinets who never grew out of creaming their pants over pushing other people around.  The Gaia bullshit is just an excuse.

72

But for the wrong reasons.  Intention is everything, outcome is irrelevant.

Thanks Heather

But, it WAS intentional. The design of the hunting and fishing laws was to preserve game and the environment.  The fees were also dewsigned for that purpose and had been used for that exclusively up until the last few decades when they became just another general revenue tax source.

73

Speaking of tumblers, has anyone else tried those Tervis Tumblers?  I got one as swag from a tech vendor at a client site.

I don't know if they are Tervis or not but I got some of similar construction as a handout from work one year. My wife loved them and now we have a shelf full of them. That is what I will be carrying out to the rocker with me. 

Note the glass shit doen't work too good when you drop it on a concrete porch. Especially when you are barefoot and drunk.

74 The design of the hunting and fishing laws was to preserve game and the environment.

Yes.  But my understanding is that hunters and fishers want to preserve it for future generations to enjoy, not because animals and "pristine" (read: unmanaged) land take priority over people, who shouldn't be allowed to touch them.  Wrong motive. 

75 no way, they banned my online friend who is really the only one on Waffles with the good breaks and funk vinyl.

I kind of want Sabathia back in Cleveland, kind of hate him for selling out. Yeah, I know, if you could get extra money, you'd take it, but fans aren't always practical. Anyway, he'll never make it back to Cleveland so it's a moot point.

Tervis tumblers are good stuff.  I got some for Christmas a few years ago with jacket-patches for my college slipped inside the vacuum gap.

They could stand to be a little bigger (they will barely hold a 12oz can of soda, if you don't put too much ice in), but all in all they are great.  Seem pretty much indestructable; we use them when we're outside.

MMV on the knockoffs, but genuine Tervis ones are guaranteed for life.  If the seal ever breaks, they'll send you a replacement.  None of mine have broken yet, but the person who gave them to me as a gift had some 10-year-old ones replaced a while back.  Not bad.  If you've giving them out as a gift to customers / clients, odds are they will have a reminder of your company around for a very long time...
