I saw this picture and I thought “That ain’t much of a punishment or prank.”

And then I remember that people will not every day carry the simplest of blades with them.  That is why you see some trying to open a box with a pair of blunt scissors and have a miserable time at doing so.

I think I use one of my pocket knives at least once a day. I think I have been carrying a knife almost every day for almost 40 years.

I have one of these.

Kevin C. sent me the link to this article.

Governor Scott opposes two of these provisions—permitting school staff to carry weapons in school, and imposing a three-day waiting period on the purchase of long guns—and he has repeatedly said so. In opposing the “armed teachers” provision, he lines up with Democrats in the state who so vehemently object to the idea that they voted against it as a caucus. In objecting to the three-day waiting period, he lines up with conservatives who believe—correctly, in my view—that waiting periods do nothing of consequence to stop crime, and that, in the case of long guns, they cannot even be said to limit suicide. In other words, Scott agrees with both of the objections that made this legislative debate so fractious. He doesn’t like the main concession the Democrats made, and he doesn’t like the main concession the Republicans made. He should veto the bill.

In all likelihood, he will not. The parents of those murdered at the school all want to see something pass, and have told him as much. And, if he wants to run for the Senate, he presumably doesn’t want to see the inevitable “Governor Vetoes Gun Safety Bill!” chyrons accompanied by footage of crying children.

Governor Scott Should Veto the Florida Gun Bill.

No democrat is gonna vote for Governor Scott in his race for Bill Nelson’s senate seat, but he and the GOP seems to be married to the thought that if they are just left enough, they will draw enough democrats to win. Of course going “left enough” (specially in guns) will lose him enough Republicans that he will be applying for a Lobbyist license come January if he wants to remain to any kind of political action.

In the Era of Trump, it is an idiocy to act like Jeb Bush.

Strictly voluntary, of course and if you feel like making idiots crap in their pant for giggles. Open a new list in your account, give it a title and explanation that is mildly disturbing. Here is mine.

A notification is sent to the person that he/she has been added to the list and shows the name and the definition. Just don’t be obvious, calling your list “Corpses I will Send to Odin’s Feast Table.” is a wee bit over the top. Same for the explanation: “I have a shredded called Audrey II.” will put people off, specially if they like musicals.

I am adding any Gun Control asshole that calls for the treatment of the NRA and its members as terrorist or anybody else who wish us and our families death.

“But Miguel! That is ratcheting up the rhetoric.”
They drew First Blood, not me.

It should make for fine hysterics and paranoia. Don’t forget to have a lot of pop corn.
