That's what I said

Good morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  TodayÂ’s story is about the delicious gamine Colleen Moore, a bouncy, vivacious woman whose short skirts and bobbed hair were as much shorthand for “flapper” as the flaming red hair and garters of her fellow star Clara Bow.

WeÂ’ve talked before about the changeover from silents to sound and how a lot of actors didnÂ’t make the transition.  The ones who were determined to have “voices,” however, couldnÂ’t rest.  Unless they had had Broadway training, they were put under the care of speech coaches, who would teach them the proper way to speak, producing pear-shaped vowels and cut-glass diction (this is a reason, by the way, that many stars of the early 1930s sound vaguely English – itÂ’s the voice teacher).

So young Miss Moore was placed under the tender care of a stately Boston Brahmin – a Beacon Hill dowager whose family fortune had seen better days.  As Moore was ushered into her presence, the woman boomed, “I am required to teach you to speak?  Why, youÂ’re a mere slip of a girl!  And they actually pay you ten thousand dollars a week?”

Moore lowered her eyes.  “No, maÂ’am,” she replied softly.  “Twelve thousand.”

This is Colleen Moore:  http://tinyurl.com/d9l2u48

And there you are.  Hope you liked that.  And, as always, I hope you all have a wonderful day.  Best of luck at the doctorÂ’s, Vic.

I think people are making the mistake of believing that scientists declaring the document "authentic" means it is true.  It only means it was written when it was purported to be written.  I mean, the "Hitler Diaries" were true, right?

I thought about mentioning Moore's doll house, but figured with the wide experience of the Horde, someone would come along to put us some knowledge.  She was also a lifelong friend of the director King Vidor, and was a great help / comfort to him when he was researching the murder of silent director William Desmond Taylor.

Moore was also a savvy investor and wrote a book on stock market investing for women.  She died a multi-millionaire.

Did you see what organizations were doing the polling?  PPP and Quinnipiac.

I'll wait and see here.

We request the opportunity to meet with you to discuss these ideas further and empower our coalition to help you achieve your goals of reducing crime, lowering drug use, preventing juvenile incarceration and lowering recidivism rates.

Good. In Chicago, those smug hippy assholes block traffic during rush hour because they've got to take up a whole lane of a street. They cut in between cars and act like they own the road because they're riding a bike and saving the environment so they're superior to the rest of us.

As an interesting aside, I had the misfortune of having to go to the local SSA office to apply for a SSN for lil' assault flounder, yesterday.  Surprise! There was an armed guard at the door to greet you by acting like a sanctimonious prick.  And there was a heavy glass partition (bullet proof?) that separated the pitch fork crowd (and oh was it crowded) from the precious treasures that "worked" there. It was kind of like what you see in some banks and in convenience stores in places like Chicago or LA.

Now you cannot tell me that these gems are worth protecting more than children. Yet, our schools are mandated target-rich environments.

By my luck, I had followed the online guidance on which forms to bring.  However, said sanctimonious prick was filled with glee when he could inform me that my papers were not adequate, and provided me with a locally produced printout, which spelled out exactly what they wanted. 

In a way, it felt like I was transported back to 1943 Germany for a moment.  Only then, did I understand why they might need the armed guard and glass.

>>>Gun show background checks are only done by a handful of states, Vic. Most states don't do them.

Every gun show has a contigent of ATF agents tooling around in it looking for violations. If you think a large gathering of gun nuts in a controllable area violating Federal law with abandon would get a pass from those stooges you are on hardcore drugs.

Damn you, had to post that knowing I have had no breakfast or coffee!

Sorry about that, Vic. If it's any consolation, I   ain't   et yet neither.

Here's where I need help. I need stronger profanity to express my displeasure at such a process. Motherfucking motherfuckers lacks that certain je ne sais quoi to truly capture the incandescent rage I feel.

Indeed, my Queen, that is what we might call a poser.   A situation of this magnitude requires a level of profanity that as yet the human tongue has been unable to craft.      Where then do we look?   To the animal kingdom perhaps?  Simian shrieks blended with the    baleful     snarls of furious pumas may approach that   sense of justified, righteous, blistering outrage; but what is the use of expressing such outrage if the recipients of your wrath have no idea why you're hooting at them?

I find in these times that it is best to fall back on the pedestrian curse words of the human tongue,   but   rearranged in a fashion that creates NEW,   fleshy       profanity from the     dry    bones of existing     expletives.

For example:

"Fucksac-sucking   dildo cock hole motherfucking dickshits!   Burn in the scummy fires of fetid Hell on piles of putrid offal and discharge from the leaking dick of syphillitic Satan!"

Related, can anyone in the Horde tell me how to get back through the looking glass? I appear to have lost my way.

As much as it would please me to be of service in your endeavor, My Queen, I gave up long ago trying to figure all this out.

I hate the idea of others paying my way, especially in this economy when folks should be taking care of their families and loved ones.   But I WILL   get in touch with Bannion to see if my own finances can manage to wrangle the trip.   Promise!  

Honestly I'm more concerned about what the hell I'd do if I    manage to    get there.  I     have no idea how to take a taxi   or a bus;   there aren't any around where I live.      You either drive or get someone else to drive you.        I am THAT MUCH of a yokel, folks.   Like, for serious.      I'd     end up wandering around NoVa,       lost and forlorn.    And since it's me probably swearing like a sailor.

Because those "private sellers" are very often really off-the-books dealers who are responsible for the straw purchases of guns and transfer to people who could never pass a fucking background check. That's why.

There is nothing that is legal inside of a gun show that is illegal outside of one.  It's a red herring.

And if Jerry really needs an education, I'd suggest he actually go visit a gun show (he may need to drive a ways, as aren't they illegal in Chicago?) and take particular note of the phone banks where, yes, many many NICS checks are being performed.

His claim about "off the books" dealers is similarly fantastical.  It's clear he gets his knowledge of firearms laws from the same outlet that reported Gifford's use of the mythical Glock 9.

Yes, and most people I have dealt with privately on firearms transaction have required some form of good guy credentials, such as a carry license, LEO credentials, etc. It is the rare breed that functions as an unlicensed dealer under the guise of buying and sell from their private collections.  And there are times when these guys get prosecuted in highly publicized cases. 

But that raises the question, if these guys are already doing something illegal (and they are under current law), then why aren't they prosecuted into extinction. It's an obvious answer, but for CTJ's benefit, because it is not about public safety or preventing crimes involving guns.  It is about control.  It is ALWAYS about control. 

As a thought experiment, how long do you think these unlicensed dealers business model would last if they were selling guns to gangbangers indiscriminately, if all these leads start pointing back to one guy?  My suspicion is that even this small subset of unlicensed dealers would rather sell to someone with good guy credentials.

Chicago painted bike lanes (half the size of car lanes) on the streets and now cars can barely get by on some streets. On the last Friday of every month cyclists take to the streets to shut them down to make their point about not driving cars to save Mother Earth and of course the city lets them get away with it

Also...

You can't have background checks without registration.  It's inherent to the background check process.  Expanding background checks by definition must expand registration requirements. 

It's nonsensical to claim that one is in favor of expanding background checks as long as it doesn't create a registry. 

Hey wingnut, then what they need to do is make it MORE illegal to do so. Ever think of that?

  " I need stronger profanity to express my displeasure at such a process."

Ah, Grasshopper, it's not a new word you seek.

Many have thought that there must be magical new profanity that would better express one's feelings, but the answer lies in expression rather than content.

Why was Mr. Wu so effective on "Deadwood", only using the word "cocksucker"?  It was his delivery.  Stressing and elongating c o c k then emphasising sucker while simultaniously contorting his face to express disgust and anger - that's how to swear.

Which is why it's so hard to write effectively on this fucking website.  No punctuation, no italics or bold or ampersands.  A virtual desert of expression. 

Cocksucker.  (see, it's just not the same)

As  the  holder  of  an  07FFL  I  can  assure  you  nothing  I  sell  can  go  out  the  door  without  a  background  check  and  an  ATF  audit  will  cost  me  my  license  at  the  very  least  if  my  books  aren't  kosher.  Gun  show  sales  are  the  same.   Most  "bangers"  are  getting  their  idiot  girlfriends  or  relatives  with  no  criminal  records  to  "straw  buy"  for  them,  a  felony  already,  so  another  law  isn't  going  to  stop  that. 

The  real  reason  for  Universal  background  checks  is  to  get  the  pre-68  guns  in  their  database  when  dad  gives  his  rifle  to  his  kid.  The  scum  of  Mordor  on  the  Potomac  want  every  firearm  background  checked  so  they  can  develop  a  registration  database  for  future  confiscation.

@ 427 - "For that matter, why would you object to the government having real-time access to your bank accounts? As long as they don't take any money that doesn't belong to them, why would you be outraged?"

Exactly.  Besides, it's not your money to begin with.  It's the People's money.  If you take it out without authorisation, you're stealing from the People and should be punished.

@ 430 - " The scum of Mordor on the Potomac want every firearm background checked so they can develop a registration database for future confiscation."
