Giving Gun Bigots Coronaries At Bus Stops All Over San Francisco

Kudos to the Second Amendment Foundation and CalGuns Foundation for this, especially since they did it after San Francisco unconstitutionally banned advertising from city buses and bus stops that “promotes the use of firearms.” I see a court challenge in the works…. 🙂 Apparently the city backed down from its just-established policy specifically to avoid a lawsuit. Works for me!

I’ll likely be at the first day of this conference Friday the 24th. Will you?

One less cheerleader for the dear leader

RNS Quote of the Day: 08/31/10

You’ve heard the “water the tree of liberty” line? This is similar.

Everyone has elites; The important thing is to change them from time to time.

Duct tape works better

I’m not the most tolerant of individuals when it comes to children. I am of the mindset that “Silence is Golden. But Duct Tape is Silver.”

But even I would never do this. Mostly because it is really only a training program.

California officials are outfitting preschoolers in Contra Costa County with tracking devices they say will save staff time and money.

The system was introduced Tuesday. When at the school, students will wear a jersey that has a small radio frequency tag. The tag will send signals to sensors that help track children’s whereabouts, attendance and even whether they’ve eaten or not.

School officials say it will free up teachers and administrators who previously had to note on paper files when a child was absent or had eaten.

Sung Kim of the county’s employment and human services department said the system could save thousands of hours of staff time and pay for itself within a year.

It cost $50,000 and was paid by a federal grant.

Remember that they also RFID dogs and sheep.

Interesting set of links. I like the DIY outdoor woodburning stove/grill/oven.

Blast from the past

A classic from my youth.  I first heard this about the time I was deciding girls were a lot more interesting then I ever gave them credit for.

Tekeli-Li!

If you read enough of this fellow’s stuff, some of it starts to make sense. Don’t pick up hitchhikers? Indeed. A rock house the best sort? Yeah, he has valid points, especially if it cost all of $60k to build. The importance of cisterns to survival? Yep. Rock-walled fortress cities for the coming unrest? Sounds good. And I’ve always enjoyed reading that old-timey patent-medicine ad sort of writing style that you find in ads for martial arts schools and the like. It always seems the author works so hard to get his point across, compared to regular uncapitalized writings. Actually, I catch myself thinking, this fellow has the syntax of a modern-day Daniel Defoe!

Then you run into this sort of thing and it wakes you up, if you hadn’t already.

But even after that dash of cold water, the site sucks me back in, and I can’t stop devouring this stuff. Are these tears running down my face from my shaking, quaking, unending stifled laughter? (“What’s so funny?” says the wife. “You’re really getting annoying over there.”) Or rather, are they tears for the EPIPHANY of TRUTH revealed in these pages? One of Tam’s commenters said it in jest, and yet, truly I do feel like a Lovecraft protagonist whose mind’s being blasted by the Amazing Secret Knowledge found in These Books. I know it’s insanity, and yet… and yet….

“Wombmen!” See? See? Is that not at once both a True and a Humorous Description of the Female Sex?

God Help Me — and I’m an atheist.
