An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a beer. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, ‘Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?’

The bar immediately falls absolutely silent. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, ‘Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
The bouncer is a blonde girl.
I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weightlifter.
The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

‘Now, think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?’

The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head, and mutters, ‘No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’

PS: I just realized that this is my 1,000 post. Not quite the memorable one I intended!

Video taken by Bitter of Snowflakes in Hell of the protesters outside the NRA Annual Meeting.

I could extract many quotes that would be very representative of the lack of information and even brain power of these participants, but this guy took the prize for me:

“They (NRA Members) feel like they are isolated, they have to protect themselves. It is all about ‘me and protecting mine.’ Let’s put it this way: I think it is a truly unfortunate mindset.”

Because Self-defense is soooo last year and out of fashion. BTW, if anything I think this guy should get the Oscar for Best Looney Videotaped In A March. His later comments about Castle Doctrine are truly amazing and shows that the concept of Useful Idiot is alive and well.

Heartfelt congratulations and Salutations to Bitter and a job well done.

I was just reading Linoge’s post about religious door to door people and I had to chuckle. When we moved to our home, I printed and taped to the front door a small sign that said “Solicitors will be shot, survivors will be shot again” and it worked like a charm till my Non-English Speaking Mother came to live with us and I made the mistake of translating the meaning. She was horrified that I would be so nasty and impolite and took it down. (Don’t ever try to argue with an Spanish mother, they can make Jewish moms feel so guilty they’d convert into Catholicism)

Lately we are seeing a serious increase on Door Knockers: From Jehovah Witnesses to Avon Ladies to Magazine Sellers to Roof repairers and this being South Florida, I am sure one or two were offering door to door Santeria works. So I am thinking on having this sign made:

It is either that or a minefield.

Privacy of Firearm Owners: Provides that licensed practitioner or facility may not record firearm ownership information in patient’s medical record; provides exception; provides that unless information is relevant to patient’s medical care or safety or safety of others, inquiries regarding firearm ownership or possession should not be made; provides exception for EMTS & paramedics; provides that patient may decline to provide information regarding ownership or possession of firearms; clarifies that physician’s authority to choose patients is not altered; prohibits discrimination by licensed practitioners or facilities based solely on patient’s firearm ownership or possession; prohibits harassment of patient regarding firearm ownership during examination; prohibits denial of insurance coverage, increased premiums, or other discrimination by insurance companies issuing policies on basis of insured’s or applicant’s ownership, possession, or storage of firearms or ammunition; clarifies that insurer is not prohibited from considering value of firearms or ammunition in setting personal property premiums; provides for disciplinary action.

And the usual suspects are throwing fits and threatening to challenge the law in court.

Just hours before Scott’s office announced the bill signings, the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and three Florida physician groups announced they would challenge the gun gag law if the governor approved the measure pushed by the National Rifle Association.

“Gov. Rick Scott should realize the risks to public health and safety that he would be sanctioning by giving into the gun lobby’s agenda,” the groups said in a joint statement.

Other organizations planning to take part in the legal challenge are the Florida chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians and American College of Physicians.

Mind you, these medical organizations were approached beforehand to try and get some sort of compromise before having to result into going for a law. They ignored any possible conversation and now they are bitching.

If the silly play on the Second Amendment text was not bad enough, the rest of the exchange between Andrew Goddard and Ladd Everitt is really worrisome to say the least.

And this is the people that want to have us found mentally unstable, remove our weapons and send us to the local mental gulag for safekeeping.

And accuracy suffers accordingly.

VPC, CSGV and the Bradies would have collective strokes if an ad like this would run today.
But we can only dream. Specially about the price!
