The 'smart gun' that terrifies the gun-grabbers
Posted by Kurt Hofmann (#20) 4 days ago (http://www.examiner.com)
The gun prohibitionists want to ban so-called "Saturday Night Specials," because they're too small and cheap. They want to ban .50 caliber rifles, because they're too big and expensive. They want to ban so-called "assault weapons," because they can be "spray-fired from the hip" too quickly and inaccurately. And now, $22,000+ bolt-action "sniper" rifles, because they can be fired too accurately. Is there any gun they don't want to ban? Any gun that the various "Goldilocks" of "gun control" would think is "just right" for private citizens?
Of course not.
The truth….”We have a right to demand it!” Judge Jeanine delivers powerful commentary on the actions of President Obama and his administration. Take time to listen.
Republicans seek to establish paranoid ‘culture of cover-ups’ at IRS hearing blares the headline of allvoices.
During a heated grilling on Capitol Hill by congressional lawmakers, resigned IRS Commissioner Steve Miller gave his best effort to describe what happened at the Cincinnati office by examiners, who were accused of “targeting” conservative groups for extra scrutiny on tax-exempt applications.
Sunday Funnies: Flopping Aces

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings. For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list. They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didn’t like. Thank God those days are gone forever.
A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon, which is unfair. Nixon’s unemployment rate was only 5 percent.
Letters from Navy founding father rediscovered
Posted by gbudavid (#4) 6 days ago (http://www.navytimes.com)
Capt. John Paul Jones may have served more than 200 years ago, but his letters reveal that the topics of his day can still resonate.
For example, Jones, as a founding father of the Navy, was quite vocal about the quality of leaders needed at the time.
“I am determined never to draw my sword under the command of any man, who was not in the Navy, as early as myself, unless he hath merited a preference by his Superior Services and abilities,” Jones writes in one of 11 letters housed at the Charleston Library Society in South Carolina.
It has since, however, been suggested that the original depiction of that exchange was in some way fabricated by Republican operatives – who had access to the yet-unreleased email exchange – and fed to reporters as summaries. One reporter who has been accused of repeating falsified talking points given to her by Republicans is CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson. A memo sent to CBS News talent and producers, and obtained by Mediaite, shows that is simply untrue, and that Attkisson made clear in her original draft report that what she was privy only to “paraphrased” portions of “handwritten notes” that members of certain Congressional Committees were able to access.

What's With Teacher Appreciation Day?
Posted by Fender Stratocaster (#10) 1 day 6 hours ago (Editorial)
My kid’s school is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, a celebration which rubs me the wrong way.
The starting salary of a teacher in our school district is $68,000.00 a year. That comes with two weeks paid vacation, and five days paid sick leave. Included are a pension and the fully paid medical coverage. Let’s not forget about the 12 week summer vacation teachers enjoy. Finally, teachers enjoy the benefit of having their student loans fully discharged. What’s about that generous pay package doesn’t relay a generous helping of ‘appreciation’ to our teachers?
What’s so special about a teacher anyway? In reality, their job isn’t any more difficult than that of a soldier in Afghanistan, or of that of an emergency room intern, or of a housekeeper at the local motel. Still, every year I receive a note from the school reminding me that Teacher Appreciation Week is fast approaching and I am reminded to send the kids to school with a cash donation to help the school pay for a Starbucks for the teachers. Also, the money goes to have the teacher’s car washed.
And, don’t forget to give the teacher a card, the note reminds us. Have your kid print neatly on the inside, “To Ms. Pilcher, you are the greatest, most beneficent teacher in the world! Thank you for all you do and sacrifice for us!” The note from the school goes on to say, “Please have your child drop the card off on Friday, with a small gift and your cash donation.”
So, I pay over $7000.00 a year in property taxes. I am asked to buy $40.00 worth of school supplies, per child, per year, to give to the school. My kids sell all sorts of crap out of catalogues to help fund the school, along with walkathons, spelling bee-a-thons, school carnivals, candy sales (Does Michelle know of this?) and raffles. I’m 'nickeled and dimed' by the school so that I must spend two hours a night working with my kids to undo the crap the school has filled in their heads, so that I can honor some union hack who society insis
DiggPatriots Hack: Further Evidence of NewsJunkiePost Electronic Thievery
Posted by bett (#13) 1 day 5 hours ago (http://therjcarter.wordpress.com)
Remember how we posted screen captured evidence from NewsJunkiePost’s that they had obtained information on the Yahoo Group DiggPatriot’s by hacking into the group using my account? (Here: http://therjcarter.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/newsjunkiepost-implicated-in-computer-hacking-to-breach-diggpatriots-yahoo-group/) And do you remember the response from NJP was that the supposed group insider supposedly photoshopped out their name and photoshopped in my name, all to protect their identity?
Well, apparently they also decided to make it super-duper foolproof by also finding files that I had uploaded to the group and photoshopping in the permissions to the file, so that it really, really, really covered their tracks:
MoreHackEvidence
Or, following Occam’s Razor, perhaps they had just hacked my account and gathered all their evidence that way. Or is that too unreasonable?
(Expecting the image to disappear from the original NJP article, or be replaced with a new one erasing the permissions.)
