Econ 101

Billy Beck:

Try to understand, ladies and gentlemen: learn to live with high fuel prices and everything that means. That’s what happens when we are not allowed to produce. And we have no other choice: we either produce, or we eventually starve and freeze in the dark.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why bureaucrats do not understand that. I mean, other than they’re bureaucrats and their exposure to the real world is limited.

Admitting it is the first step

Yeah, it sucks. But it is what it is.

But, hey, if California non tea-partiers are turning, maybe there’s hope.

2016

China’s economy to overtake the US economy by then. You would expect that to happen already since they a whole lot more people. Except that, you know, it’s China.

Must have been a .50

Since they tell me those are powerful enough to take down aircraft. Man shoots LAPD helicopter, forces it to land.

Campus carry in Tennessee

The KNS:

Gov. Bill Haslam and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey are working against a bill to allow faculty and staff to carry guns on the campuses of Tennessee’s public universities.

But the two Republicans have arrived at that position for different reasons.

Haslam says he wants to leave it up to administrators at each school to decide whether to allow guns to be carried, while Ramsey says he doesn’t want the proposal to dominate media attention while several other important initiatives are pending before lawmakers.

Ramsey’s reason is dumb. Haslam, at least, seems have a decent reasoning except that I think current state law makes carrying on campus illegal.

More TSA embarrassment

Philly.com: Airport passenger screener charged in distributing child pornography

USA Today: Your rights subject to their whims

Opinion:

From a constitutional perspective, the Supreme Court may have gotten it right. But from a standpoint of public safety, lawmakers are getting it very wrong. A right to keep and bear arms should come with restraints that equally protect those who have no interest in owning them.

And how exactly does one do that?

Oops

News crew mistaken for robbers and surrounded by cops. That’s a scary picture.

Having rid the city of violent crime

Chattanooga police raid poker game. This is priceless: Any arrest obviously reduces crime in our city and a crime reduction means safer streets and safer communities.

Says a defense attorney:

Gambling to me is unique crime. It’s one of these crimes, like speeding, where a whole lot of people violate it,” he said. “Everybody who bet money on the NCAA basketball tournament was probably gambling. … It might be a little harder to prosecute a gambling case because gambling on a low level is so widespread.

A look inside their tiny minds

Anti-gun group Coalition to Stop Gun Violence calls for the police to raid a gun blogger’s house because he made his son eat dinner. And accuse the father of child abuse. No, really.

These people are insane and clearly outside the mainstream. Check out the last comment here.

Random Weekend Blogging

Alternate title: yo dawg, I heard you liked smoked bacon.

Grass mowed, cars washed, sink fixed. Meal number four in the new grill is coming along nicely. Will add some portabellas in a bit:

From Home Life

Also, at the light, a Dodge Charger revved at me. Very well, I accept your challenge. And then the realization I was in the wife’s SUV. Oh well.

And the kids found a swimming hole in the creek. Big fun.

Right to bear arms

Extended to stun guns.

Criminals is smart

You’re an upstart gang banger and, in cutting your chops, you kill some poor liquor store clerk. And you want a nice commemorative to mark the day your testicles dropped. So, you decide what better memento than tattooing the scene on your chest. Which worked out well until the police picked you up for something minor and notice the tattoo.

Another newspaper hurting for readership, relevancy

Iowa paper publishes list of carry permit holders. I think these privacy concerns are a good reason to push for constitutional carry, like several states recently did.

That is pretty cool.
