The More Guns You Have, the Safer You Are!


Keith Ratliff of Carnesville, GA was shot to death in his home on January 3.

For those of you who don't frequent the FPSRussia Firearms channel on YouTube, this is Keith Ratliff:



So is this:



And this:



So how is it that this good guy with a gun was unable to avoid being murdered by a bad guy with a gun?  Surely, someone must have taken his guns away! (the UN? probably.)

Well, let's ask Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Mike Ayers.

Ayers said there were many guns found near Ratliff's body, but said those weapons were not involved in the killing. He said authorities are "actively interviewing people and seeking leads" 


Oh. So I guess he didn't have enough guns? Because having guns makes people safe, right?

Geezus, the Balls on These Guys!



AIG Says $182 Billion Taxpayer Bailout Was Too ‘Onerous,’ Threatens To Sue Government For Billions More


I wish I was in a position to need to buy something from AIG so I could refuse to buy anything from AIG.


The board of A.I.G. will meet on Wednesday to consider joining a $25 billion shareholder lawsuit against the government, court records show. The lawsuit does not argue that government help was not needed. It contends that the onerous nature of the rescue — the taking of what became a 92 percent stake in the company, the deal’s high interest rates and the funneling of billions to the insurer’s Wall Street clients — deprived shareholders of tens of billions of dollars and violated the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the taking of private property for “public use, without just compensation.” 

And they still have the balls to run those sickening "Thank You, America" ads!

Dumb product of the day

Hershey Bliss





HERSHEY’S BLISS Milk Chocolate offers a distinct, richer, longer-lasting chocolate experience than other little luxuries. Inside the purple foil is one square inch of specially crafted milk chocolate with a rich taste that you'll want to savor.



One square inch of specially crafted milk chocolate?
Congratulations, you flattened out a Hershey's Kiss!
What an innovation!

Two things I just learned about Ted Cruz within like 2 minutes of each other.




1. He thinks that the goverment going into default would be just super-awesome!

CRUZ: What would happen if the debt ceiling isn’t raised is it would be a partial government shutdown. We’ve seen this before, we saw this in 1995, when Republicans in the House shut down the government. What happened was it was a partial shutdown, there was some political cost to be paid but at the end of the day, because Republicans stood strong in 1995, we saw year after year of balanced budgets and some of the most fiscally-responsible policies Congress has produced in the modern-era. If we hold strong we can do that again. It just comes down to Republicans. Are we willing to stand strong and face the wrath of the mainstream media criticizing us and the president saying nasty things about us?

 2. He totally opposes allowing the government to go into default.

"Let me be very clear about this," Cruz told Fox News host John Roberts. "I do not support default on the debt. We should never default on the debt, and the only players on Washington who are threatening default on the debt are President Barack Obama and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid."

 And I'm going to go ahead and guess that he doesn't see the contradiction here at all.

Stupid Made-Up Organization gives Stupid Made-Up Award to Purveyor of Stupid Made-Up News.

If you're at all familiar with WingNut Daily, you probably know them as peddlers of any conspiracy theory, no matter how laughable, as long as it casts Barack Obama as the villain. But that's because you live in the "reality-Based" community. There's a whole other world out there, you know. A world in which Thomas Kinkade is an artistic genius, Tim Tebow is an all-pro quarterback, and George W. Bush kept us safe. In that world, WND just received an award for being a "reliable" "news" source.

Enumclaw.com 2012 Most Trustworthy News Sources

World Net Daily


What are the criteria for such an award? Glad you asked. But bear in mind that for this organization, every word they use seems to mean the opposite of what it means in English:

  1. Reliability: Consistent, regularly updated delivery of news. 
Okay, I'll give them that. They do post regularly and consistently. So does CollegeHumor.com, but still, it's something. 
     2.  Accuracy: Well-rounded stories which focus upon facts rather than gossip or hearsay.








    3. Quality: Favors informative, well-written pieces over sheer quantity.


 





   4. Balance: Stories are selected and reported aside from bias or agenda.

  
   5. Reach: Strong authority and readership across the web.




 

 So, yeah, obviously Wing Nut Daily meets all of these criteria!

 


World Net Daily: Trustworthy News Sources
With a continual commitment to the truth and top-notch journalistic practices, World Net Daily has time and again exposed corruption in the media and politics while maintaining good journalistic practices.

Holy cow!

Yeah, sure, WND is totally a reliable news source. Sure, why not?
