The left-wing media love to lecture Americans on how awful we are because we own guns. They pretend to be experts when reporting on weapons-related crime so they can then wonder, teary-eyed, why there isn't more gun control. Well, here's one possible reason why most Americans don't pay attention to media morons who think they know about guns.....the AR-15 isn't a shotgun.....

This was CNN's breathless reporting on the Navy Yard shooter and his access to weapons.

And this boys and girls, is how America's role in the Syria story ends

Whoever did this brilliantly funny photoshop deserves to win the Internet. This has been flying around all day, most notably over at Hotair, which is where I found it.

There should be a dialogue balloon over Obama that reads, "I gotta pee". 

Dumb CNN anchor can't remember Ft. Hood massacre

Over at CNN, they hire pretty anchors to read the news, but they aren't too bright. Carol Costello says live on air as the DC Navy Shipyard shooting unfolds, that she can't ever remember a shooter going on a rampage at a US military installation. Really, Carol? Does Ft. Hood ring a bell?

The field reporter gently reminds her about Ft. Hood, sadly without making her look as ablivious as she evidently is.....

 

California throws itself off the cliff with minimum wage hike to $10

Just how stupid are they in California? Stupid enough to ignore the business flight out of that state because of union thuggery and obscenely high taxes, and drive still more jobs out by raising the minimum wage to $10 by 2016.

Entry level jobs aren't worth $10 an hour. They're worth whatever the labor market determines they're worth, which in the current, high-unemployment economic climate would be dramatically less than even the $8 it is in California now.

Additionally, entry-level jobs don't exist to support families. They're for entry-level workers to learn job skills, responsibility, punctuality, work ethic, and to earn a little spending money as they prepare to move on to a better job. If you are trying to support a family working entry level, then you've already made a whole series of horrible life decisions and there's not much hope for you.

Business simply won't hire people to do entry-level work for $10/hour. They'll either fire some workers to make up the difference or they'll move to a state that is more friendly to business. When he signs this bill, Jerry Brown will have established himself as the biggest moron to ever hold a governor's office.

9/11 widows enjoy lifetime "victim" card

I heard where firefighters at Boston's Logan airport had to apologize for their airplane fire training on 9/11. Apparently some 9/11 widow/mother played her victim card and whined that the image of an airplane on fire caused her stress on her day of mourning. 

Get over yourself, miserable harpie! What delicate snowflakes we are that 12 years after a catastrophe, we can't be reminded of it by first-responders training for the next catastrophe. These guys were doing precisely what they should have been doing on 9/11....preparing for the next one. 

For how long are these 9/11 widows with their cloying need for attention going to dictate what we are and are not allowed to do on 9/11, out of respect for their feelings?

The government wades into dangerous territory by getting "officially" cozy with the mainstream media

There's a Senate bill being pushed by democrats that would grant to the justice department the right to define who is a journalist and who isn't, based on who they work for. The reason for having to define "journalist" at all is when a story becomes part of the legal process, the question of revealing sources always comes up. But should the government be the sole judge as to who qualifies as a journalist and thereby confer onto the favored ones the right to keep a secret source?

Clearly the government being an arbiter of any kind when it comes to news gathering and dissemination is counter to the constitutional notion of a "free press" envisioned by the founders.

I can easily imagine a situation where a liberal blogger who freelances for an online news outlet whose parent company is NBC, publishes something slanderous and secretive he was told about Sarah Palin. Palin sues the person, but Eric Holder confers "journalist" status onto the blogger and protects him from having to reveal who told him the information. And we all know it's because, of the three major networks, NBC is the biggest supporter of the Obama administration. And Obama tells Holder that NBC must be kept happy as payback for all the friendly coverage.

This kind of thing happens every day in DC, and especially with this administration. Just imagine how much worse it'll be when the treachery is out in the open?

Brains vs brawn

A ridiculous study out of Emory University today suggests that men with large testicles are worse at being fathers and men with smaller testicles by comparison, were more involved with child rearing and parenting in general. The obvious evolutionary corollary, for you readers who aren't bright enough to understand the implications of this study, is that men who are more physically capable of killing predators and bringing home food are seen as more attractive and therefor better suited to compete for the right to breed the females, but are unconcerned with the offspring after breeding. 

That may have been true when we lived in caves, but is physical bruteness really that much of an attractant to women when looking for a mate today? More of an attractant than brains, earning potential, and being a general provider? How many women today when given the choice between a hunky career bartender with big biceps and a college educated geek with a good job, who would they pick for husband/father?

Given a side-by-side choice, I'd think all but the stupidest females would think long-term and pick the smart provider. Brains and earning potential ARE how modern men compete for the right to breed modern females. This observational truth would therefor lead to an obvious, but indelicate conclusion..... that men today with less evident intelligence, but greater physical competitiveness and breeding prowess, are less evolved than their less brawny but smart, employed counterparts.....no?

Luckily for polar bears, Earth stubbornly refuses to obey Al Gore

Over the past several years, we've been treated to wild-eyed accounts of how the arctic ice sheet would be essentially ice-less through out the summer months. Ice-less enough, they said, that boats could sail the Northwest Passage as if in the sub-tropics. Well, 20 yachts decided to do just that, and all 20 are now hopelessly and hilariously stuck in the arctic ice. Only the Canadian ice-breaker ships can get them out now.

How did this happen? How about there's no such thing as global warming, you idiots? In just one year, the same one year that Al Gore, James Hansen, Obama, and other moronic global-warming believers told us that the ice caps would be permanently melted and could not recover, it not only recovered, it added almost 1 million sq. miles of ice. That's a 60% increase from the year before.

Now these doomsday salesmen are screeching about a possible ice-age. Which is it, assholes? Global warming or ice age? You can't severely restrict human activities with punitive laws, taxes, and phony hysteria if you don't have a clue what's happening?

When are we going to stop paying these alarmists any attention at all? I guess when there are no more dumb-assed democrat voters who're too stupid not to be taken in by the snake-oil salesmen masquerading as environmental scientists.

Kerry stupidly issues another red-line and gives Assad an out

This is our esteemed, and very serious, secretary of state, John Kerry. He's doing some sort of clean-suit inspection here, but he just looks like Smurf sperm.

I used this picture because that's about how seriously the international community takes the US military and Obama/Kerry as head of it, right about now. We are cartoonish to people like Assad, Putin, Khomeni, et. al.
Anyway, Kerry gave Bashar al-Assad of Syria one week to turn over control of all his chemical weapons to international inspectors, or face military action.

Really? Another red-line? Do Obama and Kerry even talk to each other, I mean at all? Vlad. Putin called Kerry's bluff and promised that he would personally counsel Assad to submit to UN inspections of his chemical weapons. Kerry giving Assad this out, puts Obama in a tight, embarrassing spot politically if Assad agrees to it.

What a bunch of half-witted buffoons we have managing, and I use the term loosely, our foreign policy.

China joins the party

Terrific, China is coming to the Syria party with its own war ship. Quick, somebody tell me when's the last time the US, Russia, and China each had warships within sight of each other in a hostile war zone?

I think the likelihood of our respective navies mixing it up in the Med is remote, but what is highly likely, is that Obama loses badly the House vote, and our navy tucks it tail and skulks away from Syria having done nothing. How will that look on the world stage to have Russia and China being able to claim they intimidated the greatest Navy in the history of the world into non-action? It looks bad, that's how it looks.

Obama needs to drop some ordinance on somebody somewhere, even if just to save face at this point.
