Barry details some people who are actually using capitalism to motivate French Connection United Kingdom. Good for them. The local folks are still morons.

A public school library carries all kinds of magazines. Your child will be exposed to this stuff there or other places (TV, the web, the fat pimply kid in their class who has been held back three grades). Your best strategy is to deal with it by talking to your child about that stuff. Actually, this stuff is mild compared to what kids already know. I was dropping F-bombs at about the age of eight. Your kids are too, just not in front of you.

Accosting a library doesn’t help the kids. Are they going to go to the grocery stores and whine about all the bikini magazines? Where does it end? Deal with it by communicating to your children.

Barry is right that some people get it and some don’t. I just think our local gaggle of soccer moms doesn’t get it. And Barry, i didn’t say get over it, I said deal with it.

Sad news.

It apparently wasn’t even close. Governor Ahnold has some work to do.

After my first Google and Guns post, Les posts a letter he received from google. Google adwords suspended his account because he blogs about guns. Abysmal.

Yesterday, I emailed NZ Bear to let him know that the Ecosystem is counting links from the Shooters’ Carnival to SayUncle multiple times. The Ecosystem shows me as a Large Mammal. I’d love to be a Mammal but when you subtract the Carnival links, I only get 94 links. That would actually classify me as a Marauding Marsupial.

I also asked him what I should do about it.

The cover up, dirty laundry, and [insert Watergate pun here] is kind of made up:

President Bush demanded his staff meet a Tuesday deadline to turn over documents for the Justice Department’s investigation into who leaked the identity of an undercover CIA officer.

He said he hoped the probe would send a clear message to administration officials that other leaks must stop.

“I’d like to know who leaked,” Bush said on Monday after meeting with the president of Kenya.

“I have told my staff, I want full cooperation with the Justice Department. And when they ask for information, we expect the information to be delivered on a timely basis. I expect it to be delivered on a timely basis,” he added.

The demand came as about 2,000 White House employees scrambled to meet Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline to hand-deliver documents for the department’s investigation into who disclosed the identity of a CIA officer whose husband had challenged Bush’s claims about Iraq’s weapons threat.

So, it’s unreasonable to have your lawyers peruse documents that you’re turning over to law enforcement authorities? I think not.

Feces Flinging Monkey points out a deceptive little chart regarding crime rates and race. Go read.

Somehow, I missed it. Just kidding. I don’t care about the results but that won’t stop me from predicting Ahnold victorious, Republican In Name Only.

Per this:

A federally licensed firearms dealer in Connecticut is upset the Google search engine will accept ads for pornographic websites that illegally show their materials to underage children but will not accept ads from licensed gun dealers selling a legal product to adults. A spokesman for Google said Monday that the policy is “part of our terms and conditions.”

Some Knox County folks with no sense of humor are upset about ads for French Connection United Kingdom:

A group of Tennessee parents are livid about a teen magazine ad for a company known for its provocative acronym, FCUK.

Clothing store company French Connection United Kingdom ran an ad for one of its perfumes in Seventeen magazine, which is available at several Knox County public school libraries in Knoxville, Tenn.

Some parents were so outraged that they complained to school officials, prompting at least a dozen schools to review all their magazine subscriptions.

Hate to break this to you guys, but kids are exposed to stuff at every turn (cable, billboards, the internet) so it is up to you parental types to deal with it. I understand most of you can’t deal with that and have to blame magazines, libraries, and crappy perfume. Take care of your own mess.

Buck has an update regarding the Caucasian only club. Choice quote:

A teacher told her in front of the class that he’d rather see her “drugged out and pregnant” than on the news talking about her club.

When it’s about white folk, it must be racism.

AlphaPatriot asks: Where’s the media outrage?

Insty observes: Funny that this gets so little attention. Also, what the hell is going on in Iraq? You’d never know watching the news.

Hobbs asks: Subpoena the Reporters?

And Bubba asks: The KNS also reminds us that “Haslam had the support of most of the movers and shakers in the community, both Democrat and Republican.” No kidding. Wonder why they weren’t talking about that last week?

Jeff has been pondering the state of his blog.

I recommend he continue to blog and only use one website. That way people get more exposure to his non-gun stuff and he increases his readership. I don’t understand multiple blogs, unless one is a specialty blog.

And while you’re at Alphecca, read this, about the fact the murder rate has dropped to a 40 year low which coincides with the fact that states have recently began passing concealed carry laws.

Kevin at the Smallest Minority has a good post debunking Maryland’s attempt at an assault weapons ban. His page is bloggered so scroll down to More Propaganda.

Also, scroll down to Here’s an Interesting Quote from a Law Enforcement Officer and you will see:

“Very few of these weapons have hunting applications,” said Rockton police officer Ron Dippel, eyeing an Air-15, similar to the military’s M-16 assault rifle. “Home defense. That’s the only reason for having weapons like that.”

Wow! A cop said that? About a bullet hose?

From the WaPo:

Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.) scolded Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean for his friendly relations with the National Rifle Association during a Capitol Hill rally last week to drum up support for renewal — and strengthening — of the federal ban on assault weapons.

While other speakers stuck to the subject of assault weapons, Kennedy assailed Dean, saying he was “saddened” that one of his party’s leading presidential candidates is “pro-NRA.” He suggested that Dean has “compromised his principles” as a physician by opposing stronger federal gun controls.

Dean has stated he supports the AW ban, he is therefore not pro-gun enough. Heck, I’d vote for Dean if he opposed the ban. Dean, a Vermont Democrat, is understandably pro-gun. That or maybe he learned the lesson from the 1994 ban in which many Democrats were not re-elected as a result of voting for the ban.

Yahoo news:

Up to a dozen flights were delayed and a concourse was sealed off Saturday when an FBI agent reported his weapon and credentials missing. They were found 30 minutes later in a restaurant where he had eaten.

The agent, whose name was not released, apparently lost track of his bag when he left the restaurant to make a phone call, Transportation Security Administration spokesman Mike Fierberg said.

I have a carry permit and carry a weapon all the time. I always know where it is and I always know that it is secured. And I’ve never had any sophisticated FBI training.

Publicola has been busy. Two new entries at the Carnival. The Economics of Handloading and The Proper Use of the Rifle Sling.

Some folks like the color. I tried two columns but it looked funny. I made the fonts more similar and added some horizontal bars. Take that!

I am about to engage in a site re-design. I’m thinking two columns instead of three. Dunno about the color scheme yet. Any suggestions or ideas?

Kay’s report (the horse’s mouth here) has all kinds of interesting finds. Read it. Bill Hobbs and Alex Knapp are all over it.

Proof my wife abuses our dogs.

Guy Montag has the low down on Rush and drugs. Choice quote:

Amazing! Somehow, a high profile subject of a drug investigation is being alerted through the National Enquirer that he is the subject of an investigation!

The Ninth Circuit gets one right:

A federal appeals court on Thursday declared unconstitutional a 2000 law that requires federal prisoners or those on supervised release to give blood samples for the FBI’s DNA databank.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the first federal appeals court to address the federal DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act, said requiring convicts to give blood for a criminal database is a violation of their Fourth Amendment rights against illegal searches.

Ruling 2-1, the San Francisco-based court said it was an unlawful invasion of privacy because the samples were taken without legal suspicion that the convicts were involved in other crimes.

This does, however, bring up an issue I’ve been pondering lately:

When someone is convicted of certain crimes, we revoke their right to vote and keep and bear arms. People seem to be OK with that. Can we then revoke privacy rights, speech rights, peacable assembly rights, etc.?

Thoughts? Opinions? I’m stumped.

Missouri Governor Holden vetoed the conceal carry bill last year and has fought the concealed carry bill tooth and nail. Because of this, Anheuser-Busch is no longer backing and funding him.

Per this:

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Thursday staged a protest outside a KFC restaurant in Washington, D.C., alleging that the company mistreats chickens, . . .

You mean by killing them? Hard to eat live ones, ya know. They squirm

. . . but was met with resistance from local residents who shouted at the animal rights activists to “go home.”

Good.

Per the Associated Press:

A sweeping federal review of the nation’s gun control laws — including mandatory waiting periods and bans on certain weapons — found no proof such measures reduce firearm violence.

The review, released Thursday, was conducted by a task force of scientists appointed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC said the report suggests more study is needed, not that gun laws don’t work. But the agency said it has no plans to spend more money on firearms study.

Does anyone know where Bjorn went?

Per this:

Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said on Wednesday.
The pro-Government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested “in due time.” It did not say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested.

The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but did not say when.

What I really want to know is: Which unnamed European country?

Oh, and Lil’ Kim is making A-Bombs.

Rush Limbaugh made a comment critical of the media. However, the story you hear is that he made a racist comment, which isn’t the case. He quit his job over it. It seems too many lefties are happy that he’s gone even though he’s gone for the wrong reasons. Mountains out of molehills.

I am not a fan of Limbaugh and don’t listen to his show because his politics are entirely party line nonsense. It’s kind of pathetic that some are celebrating this as a victory. It’s only a victory if you think getting an ideologue off the air is good. It’s not a victory for race relations or football. And Rush was not being a racist. He was criticizing the media.

Dog owners were having their insurance cancelled based on the breed of dog they had. Apparently, this is illegal in Michigan, so the insurance commissioner sent a nasty message.
