I won’t be buying any Toyotas
Toyota awards scholarships to high school students (a noble endeavor) but their press release says:
Theodoros Milonopoulos, a Toyota Community Scholar residing in Los Angeles, is a prime example of the dedication to community service exhibited by this year’s class. Through his leadership and effort in the area of gun control, the City of Los Angeles banned .50 caliber sniper rifles, plus reauthorized the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Also, this Scholar – along with the Los Angeles Police Department – organized a rally where 2,000 crime guns were melted down.

California reauthorized a Federal gun ban? How’d they do that?

Ravenwood, the einstein who wrote the press release never said the state of California reauthorized the “assault” weapons ban. He said the City of Los Angeles did so all by its own widdle selfy-welfy. That, along with bypassing the California Legislature and banning .50 BMG rifles throughout the state. Here I was all mad at Gov. Arnold over that, silly me. The only thing I’m not clear on is, if the City of Non-Angels really has that kind of power, why are any guns legal in this state?

Maybe they aren’t. I hope they didn’t make my guns illegal too.

[…] Toyota Camry. Uncly-Wuncly thinks Toyota is anti-gun. While I always respect him and usually agree with him, on this occasion I think he’s wetter than anything within 20 miles of the James River. So Toyota hired one lame PR person who picked the wrong high school student to highlight. No big whoop. What is a big whoop is that the Camry is like the hot chick every other guy wants – and she knows it. Ask Ms. Camry for a date on her terms, and she might say yes, if she happens to be in the mood. Ask her for 5 years’ free financing, dealer incentives, etc., and she’ll throw a drink in yoru face and say “what kind of girl do you think I am?” Three more drinks will follow if you’re dumb enough to point out the obvious fact that we’ve already established what kind of girl she is, and now we’re just haggling over the price. So one side of me says “Kos her, let someone else put up with that attitudinal be-yatch.” But the other side keeps responding “Attitude, schmattitude, that chick is hot!” […]
