DPUD (Double Plus Undead) has a blog entry titled One Zombie That Needs to be Put Down Now. The post deals with additional efforts to enact Assault Weapon Bans, and I believe that bans of any weapon is a slippery slope. The ridiculous thing is that fully automatic weapons are illegal. These *look* like full autos so they are illegal. Nevermind the fact that someone who is good with a Ruger .22 can do an incredible amount of damage and they aren’t “assault weapons”. It’s politician hysteria. Again.
Obviously RPG’s, grenades, mortars, etc. should be strictly enforced since any one of these clearly is not require for home defense. Maybe the grenade but that’s another post. Besides, any person with rudimentary chemistry skills (ok, perhaps moderate) would be able to make things that go boom. Simply put though, we live in a civilized society that doesn’t seem to have these issues, unlike many third-world oil rich countries in the Middle East.
The comments in DPUD’s blog entry led to the idea of pink weapons, and that jogged me mind.
Hello Kitty AR-15 – Evil Black Rifle Meets Cute and Cuddly. These aren’t my pictures but I wanted to show them off his site so you’ll go to his site and enjoy the rest of his stuff.
This is a real weapon, made of real parts, and the owner shows it being fired on his blog page. I firmly believe that nothing exudes feminine beauty and love for the unannounced guest quite like a perforated liver created by a pink semiautomatic.
To be entirely sexist because I like tweaking… uh, body parts… I ask: Should those who suffer Mad Cow Disease once a month (aka PMS) be allowed to have weapons? (Yes, I know my wife reads this blog, and she goes under the moniker “Cruel Wife” – I need to gin up an avatar for her… some kind of poisonous but cute frog)

Quick question… I have recipes that I could be sharing on this blog. They include but are not restricted to:
- Crisp chili-beef with Orange Rind and Szechuan Peppercorns (chinese)
- Pad Krapow (thai)
- Chap Chae (korean noodle salad)
- Yam Taeng Kwa (thai cucumber/peanut/chilies salad)
- Pork and Shrimp with Basil, includes crab-chili paste (thai)
Any interest at all?

Teachers are way too liberal and it’s affecting the kids. I think it shows in the political climate. They get into this liberal mindset of “I’ve got to add social engineering to my job description because I know what is right and obviously the parents cannot do so” and end up losing all touch with reality. Like so.
But then again, it’s pretty obviously a rigorous science class if they determine these things based on a questionnaire by the kids about other kids. Perhaps I’m wrong.
If you didn’t catch the sarcasm there, I’m pointing it out now.
Ooh! Another one… teacher forces 3rd grader to clean out toilet with bare hands!

Hillary: Gutsy, obsessed, or just stupid? Let’s pray it’s all three and she causes a huge amount of animosity by the time the DNC convention comes around. Another way to put it: “Visualize the DNC with a DNR.”
Here’s how I think of Hillary about now:

Still studying those elusive things that make Art Deco actually Art Deco. It’s been fun. Click on the image for the current state of this work in progress. It is not how I want it yet, but it’s all I’m going to do tonight.
Lemur King's Folly 
My wife, the lovely Sarah D., LOVES her collection of “Hello Kitty” firearms!
/Well, she DOES have more guns than I do, but I have more ammunition!
And one of the most professional Weapons Department Petty Officers I worked with in the Coast Guard had a coffee mug she’d use a few days a month while standing armed quarterdeck watches. It was emblazoned, “I have PMS, and I’m armed.”
That’s actually a pretty good boss to have – one that warns you that you could have your skull vented with a .45 if you don’t think things through carefully.
Regarding the teacher w/ her “survey”, if she has tenure then the father can scream all he wants. Chances are she won’t get fired. Maybe reprimanded. If he wants her fired, maybe we should introduce him to the Hello Kitty line of firearms. Now we just need to come up with a fool-proof alibi…
Personally, I’m voting for the dad, regardless of the tactics. That stunt was inexcusable. I’m not a person that demands everyone’s self-esteem should be built up and never ever harmed in any way before their peers. (I firmly believe that embarrassment, such as being forced to sit in the front of the class or nose in the corner, is the best way to curtail bad behavior.) However, this isn’t a matter of discipline. This was outright thoughtless and cruel teaching plans. Rotten eggs on this teacher.
Ah, sweet sweet youthful psychological trauma.
I gotta go buy myself a Wii now.
Do you realize how much better off the kids in this country would be if we could convince them that it’s ok to tell someone to f*** right off when they say something hurtful or damaging? Instead we’ve all got to “get along” regardless of what is right and wrong in an interaction.
Instead we “get traumatized”. We purge, we starve, we get implants, remove things, and take pills and supplements.
I gotta believe that all these stresses to be perfect, be beautiful, to be popular are at least partly behind the increase in school shootings over the last 20 years. The fact that it keeps happening in schools should tell you something. People lash out at the things that harm them.
Yeah, I want a Wii, too.
[…] Now, my first thought was – “Gee, that is kind of a slam but given Michelle Obama’s inability to feel pride in her country prior to her husband running for POTUS… eh, but the rest is clearly satire.” (my reason was that Michelle’s gun should be a Hello Kitty assault weapon) […]
