Glibertarianism strikes again.

I'd love to see some serious environmental writer do a post on what good things might come from global warming. Surely there must be some.

Pwned.

I know that term has been stale for over a decade, but it really applies to this.

Blue Texan is now Blue New Yorker.

Blog went quiet again -- apologies -- because we moved. Or actually, I moved, and the family is coming up in a bit. So, as you might expect, it's been pretty crazy. Trying to figure out how to incorporate blogging into my new routine, and whether or not I'll continue writing under a pseudonym, since it no longer applies. Stay tuned.

Also, I have to say, the news cycle is just impossible to follow these days with the Benghazi! and IRS! craziness. And I think Tomasky is exactly right -- there's a good chance the GOP will fire up the impeachment machine again. Hell, I thought they'd do it over the debt ceiling.

Printed guns.

What freaks me out about the 3D-printed gun -- aside from the obvious people-amassing-arsenals-without-restrictions aspect -- is that the film In the Line of Fire saw this coming over two decades ago.

The invisible hand gives El Rushbo the finger.

Man, the free market's a bitch, ain't it?

Way of life.

Yes, as Pierce notes, some of them are better than others.

If your "way of life" involves handing deadly weapons to five-year olds, your way of life is completely screwed up and you should change it immediately because it is stupid and wrong. (And, again, also, too: goddammit, "learning to use and respect a gun" means at least knowing that the fking thing is loaded when it's sitting in the corner of the parlor like it's a damn umbrella stand or something, and we should talk about that part, too.) It is not in any way "normal" to hand a kindergartner a firearm. If a mother from the inner-city of, say, Philadelphia did that, and the kid subsequently shot his sister to death, Fox News never would stop yelling about the crisis in African American communities and the Culture Of Death, and rap music, too. If your culture is telling you that children who have only recently emerged from toddlerhood should have their own guns, then your culture is deadly and dangerous and that should concern you, too. If your culture demands that, in the face of a general national outrage over the killing of other children, your politics work to loosen the gun laws you have, as they apparently did in Kentucky, then your culture is making your politics stupid and wrong and you should change them, too. I do not have to understand these people any more, and it is way too early in the day to be drinking this much.

He was KIDDING.

Don't you people get it? It's a JOKE.

Man, everyone's so politically correct these days.

Comedy gold from Breitbart.

This sentence is awesome.

For whatever reason, after the Sandy Hook massacre, Scarborough decided to go all-in to advocate for  stronger gun control laws. 

Man, these people are stupid.
