— Gabriel Malor Happy Monday.
Just two items to get you started today. First, the next IPCC global warming report draft has leaked. And it has some rather astonishing admissions about the effect of the sun on climate.
Second, media fact-checkers took a lot of heat during the campaign for being stealth op-eds. Occasional guestblogger Ben Domenech has compiled a list of the ten worst fact-checks of the election; that should get your blood pumping today.

And speaking of “gun control” I learned this weekend while shooting with my brothers that I ain’t worth a shit anymore with my .357. With my neuropathy it actually hurts my hands to shot.

Despite being the home of McShitty there must be something good about AZ besides one of my “good” SILs living there. Not only is Phoenixgirl, who sent me some Enterprise stuff from their last cruise there, but there is a church group there who gives away a mass of bicycles to poor kids. Thank you AZ and thank you Phoenixgirl.

Since the last installment of this story in May, nobody has collected the outstanding reward of $50,000 for conclusive proof of the continued existence of the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, nor has anyone insured a Plymouth Champ with classic car insurer Hagerty Insurance.
I personally have seen one of those woodpeckers down in the GA river swamps. And an old friend of mine, who is now deceased, actually shot 2 of them and had then stored in his freezer. But I doubt if he was still alive if he would come forward to collect the 50K. What would be the fine for shooting two birds who were supposed to be extinct. I would have preferred that he took a damn picture myself.

Blacks are no longer automatically blacks in my book. They voted for Obummer commie government by a 95% majority therefore they are “n*gg*rs” until proven otherwise. This is the racial LIB theory. You have repeated asked for racist action, welcome to the real shit sandwich.

And thatÂ’s it for Monday, December 17, 2012
Posted by: Vic at December 17, 2012 03:06 AM (53z96)
Good morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes. Can I vent about Massachusetts drivers? Here’s a fucking clue for you, jackholes – if the inch of snow we got this morning looks to you like a repeat of the Blizzard of ’78, do those of us who know how to drive a frigging favor and stay the hell off the road, you farging iceholes!
Whew. IÂ’ve got a 7.30 meeting, so todayÂ’s stories are early. Yesterday, in the middle of a vent, I shared a Richard Burton story and a Richard Harris story. HereÂ’s another Harris tale. . .
In 1957, Harris was on the cusp of a great acting career. One offer he received was to appear at the Bristol Old Vic in supporting roles opposite Peter O'Toole, and it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between the two. Both legendary boozers, during intermissions they would prop up the bar at the local, managing just barely to get back in time for the second-act curtain. During one matinee, the two had grabbed some prime real estate at the bar and were loath to leave, until a stagehand burst in screaming, "You're on!" Harris and O'Toole burst out and made it back into the theater in 15 seconds, O'Toole the winner by a head. Crashing into the wings, he burst past the backstage crew and tumbled on to the stage, nearly careening off the lip and into the audience. A woman in the front row sniffed his breath: "My God, he's pissed drunk." O'Toole lifted his head. "You think this is bad. Wait till you see the other fella.”
Then there was the time when the two - drunk and horny - were looking for the flat of an accommodating young woman they knew. When persistent knocking at her door produced no response, O'Toole shimmied up the drainpipe, knocked on the comely lass' window and was let in. Harris, meanwhile, had attempted the same route, only getting four stories up before the drainpipe broke away from the wall and left him hanging in midair. So O'Toole and the girl called the bobbies. When they'd rescued Harris, O'Toole leaned out of the window. "Officers, arrest that drunken Irishman!" he shouted. "He was trying to break into our home!"
One more O'Toole, from early in his career when he was a struggling young man of the boards: In a performance of ChekhovÂ’s Uncle Vanya, he had one line: "Mr. Astrov, the horses have arrived." Desperate to make the most out of such a tiny role, the actor decided that the peasant he played was actually the young Joseph Stalin. Going on stage consumed with anger for the aristocracy, hours of makeup making him the absolute double of the dictator, O'Toole could feel an almost physical wave of anticipation coming from the audience. He glared at his fellow actors, paused for effect and snarled quietly, "Mr. Horsey, the Astrovs have arrived."
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Gun control. Sadly, once I finished crying the first time over the deaths of those in Newtown, it was the first thought that crossed my mind. "How long till the calls start?"

It's one of the sadder things about our modern society, in that we can't have a rational discussion about race issues anymore either.
Anybody who cares about the fate of black people would be asking why so many of society's huge problems are at epidemic proportions among them. Those people who don't care are the ones who have the kneejerk response "it's because of racism."
Generation after generation of the kind of dehumanizing control that has more in common with third world dictatorships than it does with the American democratic experiment. But nobody asks if maybe it's time to reconsider who their leaders are...

About 30 seconds after the first squads showed on the scene. Check Frumfuck's Twitter feed.
Someone turned on the TV in the lobby between the time I got in and the time I got coffee...CNN tragiporn.
What the fuck was the deal with the jug-eared fuck last night? Was out for dinner last night, and suddenly he's on every fucking TV. It couldn't wait until today?
My German friend still thinks I'm making up half the shit I say about the SCOAMF, but the campaign-style waving at the audience after the speech? I couldn't make that up.

In Egypt's elections, the Salafists drew 25% of the vote, while the Muslim Brotherhood got another 40-50%. Now imagine if our government was composed of 25% 'Kill All Muslims" -- Do you think there would be any international outcry?
Especially since the Muslim Brotherhood is little more than a branch of Al Queada itself.

Same as all other gun control laws go.
They will ban "scary" looking firearms, they will try to limit the amount of ammo in clips, they may even try an ammunition registration regime.
We will still have events like this.
Rinse, repeat!!!
And with SCOAMF wielding executive power like a tyrant, look for some
action on ammo, maybe nationlizing ammunition companies.
I think the play will be for the ammo this time.

Easier to just wall them off completely and let the problem solve itself. In a month or two you send in the bull dozers and demo teams to level the place in preparation for re-settlement. Ultimately something like that will happen eventually anyway - but when uncontrolled it gets a lot uglier.

153 BCochran - you're at a church. If you're running A/V you're probably sitting in a corner at the rear. You might have a table with enough room for a Bible.
You don't have to worry about conceal carry size. Go with what you shoot best and carry it in in a zippered Bible cover. Set it on the table, unzip the case, you're ready.

I sit dead center at the rear of the congregation, elevated a decent bit above everyone else. Which is great. Downside, there's a wall directly behind me, then double doors leading out into the entry area. But if something were ever to happen, I'm in the best spot.
That's a good idea, but I've looking and thinking about something to carry anyway.

This is not for any "it's inappropriate" reason or anything like that. No, I'm afraid whatever I bring will finally bring the mass of the assorted hardware already being carried to the "critical" level.
I swear, for a sleepy church in suburban (formerly semi-rural) Texas, you'd think we were trying to field our own army. The first Sunday of deer season it always looks like those of us who show up just failed to get the memo about services being cancelled.

True, but then you have the whole apparatus you have to rig up. Plus clean up has got to be a bitch. How about beating 'em to death with red hot irons? Or, slow strangulation from the variety of hanging where you simply lift them up off the ground, rather than drop 'em.

Lmao. Not a prob in this church. Like I said, best guess is we have a single member of the congregation carrying out of 300. There are occasionally a couple of police officers that are there with their wives. I'm assuming that number goes up when they're there.

Actually, I actively avoided listening to it. As in "turned off the TV rather than watch it."

This never would have happened if they had strict gun control laws like Chicago
(Chicago Sun Times) Two people were killed and at least 16 more were wounded in weekend violence across the city, including an Englewood neighborhood man shot to death at 11:15 a.m. Saturday by police who thought he was armed with a gun.
Angry residents of the neighborhood threw bottles and rocks at officers in protest after Jamaal Moore, 23, was shot to death by an officer who thought he saw Moore reach for a gun as he fought with police, police said.
See? Such a peaceful city

Our previous preacher was talking to one of my friends about guns, and how he didn't like them. I think he was going to try preach non-violence or something. Said friend (telling me of this conversation) said he looked at him and said, "You need to preach whatever God puts on your heart, but you might consider how many people are packing in service before you give that one."
I'm pretty sure at least 40% of the purses in the pews are being used for gun transportation, simply because their husbands don't want to bother with their concealed holsters at church.

Vic: Sorry to hear this. Here's my solution. Pain meds - modify the schedule so I take them before I go. Fingerless driving or bicycle gloves. Some cushioning in the palms but not too much or you loose feel and control. Change grips to Hogue or Pachmyr rubber ones or if it is a S&W, factory smooth target grips will help (but they cost unless you get used ones.).
Hope that helps.

The city of Chicago will invest $1 million of unspent NATO Summit money on the development of educational vegetable gardens at 60 Chicago Public Schools.
The money — unused federal and private funding raised by the NATO host committee — will go to the Kitchen Community, a nonprofit that will organize and implement the Learning Gardens program in playgrounds at schools throughout the city, Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Sunday at Ruiz Elementary School, where students grow vegetables that are served in the school cafeteria.
Money well spent now that the city doesn't have any more crime

Is anyone talking about how the media/left is blaming Nancy Lanza for this tragedy? I read a Daily Mail article last night that painted her as a paranoid survivalist. The MSM has done a stellar job reporting the facts about the shooting, so it must be true.

No. On Sunday, we encourage our wives to carry their guns to church, because it's easier to conceal a gun in a bag than under your clothes. Partially it's because we've largely left the "Sunday finest" model of dress, so guys aren't routinely going to Church wearing slacks and jackets.
Heck, our Elders normally show up in jeans and polo-style t-shirts.

I read one Daily Mail article early on Saturday that made a big point about how Nancy Lanza A) had guns, and B) took her sons to the gun range, as if those things caused Tiny Dick Babykiller's rampage. I was so furious I had to turn off my computer and go stare at a book for an hour.

I remember a hit piece about Ryan on the front page of our newspaper, right after his nomination, when most people were just starting to form opinions about him. I don't think I've ever seen something so blatantly dishonest out on the front page like that. It still bothers me. Media bias? Horseshit!! The media was in full-blown libelous propaganda mode - WAY beyond mere bias. Mere BIAS was back in the good ol' days.
Using just a critical read, the article was a joke, but I doubt most people have even basic critical reading skills. First learned that a "litant of lies" means exactly 4, and that this is in contention for some sort of world record. (Huh?) Then came the so-called fact-checking. Two of them had that exact template described in the link: "It's true, BUT ... , so we've called it a lie." Another took a few minutes of research to debunk. It turned out that not only wasn't the "claim" (as to what Ryan said) true, but their "fact" to rebut it wasn't right either.
That last item was deliciously convoluted - even Ryan's defenders screwed it up most of the time. It was about how Obama had gone to his hometown, and gave some flowery speech that made it sound like he (Obama) was promising that the plant would stay open - when he really made no specific promise at all. Ryan simply quoted Obama, and the idea was that Obama had simply given his town a bunch of happy talk, only to have their plant shut down afterwards. The pundits turned it into some sort of debate about on whose watch the plant closed down during - which was irrelevant to both what was said, and to the truthfulness of what Ryan was saying. Sheesh!!
Oh, and I never bothered to look up about the 4th "lie", which was something about Obamacare. I had seen enough.

This was confirmed by the reporter, who went to a range and shot 1 round from an S&W 600, and 1 round from a Ruger Mk. III .22 caliber pistol. There is a clear difference in recoil, and so all guns should be banned.
