Hitler Blogger | The Broken Patriot (Beverage Alert)
Seriously funny video: Hitler Blogger | The Broken Patriot.
Even I get more hits than Hitler….LOL
This is what Gun Control Looks Like. (UPDATE)
The “23 of January” redoubt is home to a small army of pistol-toting young men who see themselves as guardians of President Hugo Chavez’s “socialist revolution.” These die-hard Chavistas say there is no way they will let Venezuela’s “oligarchy” and its alleged Washington patrons return to power.
Beating back the opposition “would cost us blood, sweat and tears, but they won’t be back,” said Carlos Torres, the guard at the gate.
If Chavez’s populist state is indeed threatened by domestic and foreign foes as claimed, this is the defense. On alert and, in many cases on edge, are hundreds of well-armed toughs who belong to such shadowy “collectives” as La Piedrita, which have been blamed for strong-armed intimidation of political opponents and worse.
For such Chavez supporters, Monday’s call by Communication Minister Ernesto Villegas to be “on a war footing” was clearly heard.

And to answer some questions: Yes, the government did arm them and did so under the table. They are shock troops to be used whenever the opposition grows too strong or a TV or Radio Station says something that bothers the regime. You happen to say something against the Supreme Leader, be ready to fill some holes in your domicile courtesy of roving bands of the faithful.
It is never about guns, it has always been about control.
UPDATE: These are some of those “shock troops” making their presence known in front of a TV Station that would be the equivalent of Fox News in Venezuela, that is not pro government. Low ball figures: one in four has a gun concealed in him and very probably issued by the government.

The video also answers a couple questions: Why do we need a Second Amendment? Check! Why do we need magazines with 15-20-30 rounds? Check!
And before you can say “This will never happen here!” that is exactly what was said in Venezuela before Chavez became President.
Email Tax: From Old School Internet Hoax to Reality?
And there should be, also, a very tiny tax on email,” Wozniak said at Tuesday’s meeting.
via Berkeley Councilman Proposes Email Tax To Fund Postal Service « CBS San Francisco.
Back in the stone age of Interwebs, when America Online was king and 9,600 bauds was a really really fast connection and even before even WWW, one of the first hoaxes floating around was the 3 cent tax on each email to fund the US Postal Service. I recall it caused quite a furor and it literally took years to finally dispel the myth, occasional flare ups notwithstanding.
Now an idiot comes around and actually tries to make it real.

More from the Florida Legislature: Defensive Display of a Firearm.
Senate and House (HB1047) bills on this one, SB 1446: Defense of Life, Home, and Property.
Provides that defensive display of weapon or firearm, including discharge of firearm for purpose of warning shot, does not constitute use of deadly force; provides immunity from prosecution for persons acting in defense of life, home, & property from violent attack or threat of violent attack through certain displays of or uses of force.
On initial reading, I like this bill. It will provide Florida Gun Owners with one more tool to de-escalate a possible bad situation and I am all for that. If seeing the business end of a gun helps Johnny Lawbreaker take pause and decide it is time for him to turn around, go home and watch the DVRed episodes of Downtown Abbey, I am all for that.
I am not a lawyer, not play one in the interwebs but I think that it would even help in a case of defensive shooting if a warning display of a firearm or shooting a warning shot were prior to the action as it would knock down any possible claim by a D.A. that one was looking for trouble or did not seek to end the situation by less than lethal means. IMHO it is hard to make a case of murder if the attacker has been warned in advance that he is about to be the recipient of deadly force and still chose to continue his actions. Perhaps Robert The K. may shed some more info and interpretation on this law and its possible pitfalls for us.
I expect that DAs all over Florida will have kittens and hate this law.
