So on Christmas Day, I pulled a muscle in my back. Now, it has taken an inordiate amount of time to heal, and was lamost back to normal.

Also, I was feeling lucky, and congratulating myself on not getting a cold this winter season.

Both of these things intersected on Wed Evening, when my sinusi became flowing…nay, Gushing fountains of clear weepy fluid.

Thursday, this evolved into sneezing fits.

Which made my back feel so much better. Not Fun. At All.

Of course, I got bad enough to actually take something for the symptoms.

I could become happy with a steady diet of Dextromethorphan hydrobromide.

Sadly, it takes away the small cognitive ability that I have left, so I gotta go carefully down that path.

But it does help.

No blogging for a while, as it takes all I got to form words when under the influence.

Or know someone who is?

Here is a a set of scholarships going wanting.

Not huge, but hey, free money for the asking.If you qualify.

Seems that Fred Phelps, of the Westboro Baptist Church has kicked the bucket and is no longer wasting oxygen. 

Perhaps when his funeral happens we should all throw a loud party close to the gravesite. Loud enough to be disruptive…..

So there is a buzz about the fact that the Delaware Supreme Court has ruled that the tenants of Public housing have the right to “to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use“



While I applaud the court’s decision to uphold the Second Amendment, I actually disagree with the ruling:
The landlord, in this case, the state of Delaware, would prefer that firearms not be present on it’s property. While I think that that is foolish, and does not make for a safer environment, the fact is that the tenants have no say as to what is or is not allowed on the property.
If they disagree with the choice of rules from the Landlord, then they need to move elsewhere. If they can afford a firearms for “hunting or recreation” then they can afford to pay full rent for a while. If they need a firearm for personal protection then, again, they should find a landlord who approves of (or at least doesn’t ban) firearms. 
Were this private property, owned by a single person or by a business entity, then the banning of firearms would, in fact, be legal. The same should apply when the landlord is the State. 
I firmly believe that people in Government subsidized housing have no right to privacy in their subsidized home, nor any right to special treatment of any kind. When someone else is paying the bill, then that someone gets to set the rules. Don’t like it? Move out and pay your own way. 

Simple. 

John COleman has a story to tell you.

Get a drink, and a snack, and watch for half an hour.

In the upcoming days, Chris Christie gets to make a choice:

Show everyone that his “Republican” and “Conservative” persona is true…..or not.

He will either veto the legislation passed recently that would limit any firearms magazine to10 rounds, with no recourse for those who already own firearms which exceed this capacity, no grandfathering of existing firearms. (this includes a boatload of .22 rifles).

Or he won’t veto it, thereby making sure that we all know his stance…and the fact that he ISN’T what his supporters claim he is (We all know he isn’t, but this will prove it to anyone who isn’t sure) and alienate the gun owners of this country…who vote.

So, Chris: What is it gonna be? Do ya wanna move up to try for the Presidency? Or do you want to remain at the Governor level for the rest of your career?

(While it would be bad for the folks in New Jersey, I hope he signs the bill, thereby effectively dropping out of the race for President in 2016…And hey, the folks in NJ are getting the representatives they voted for, right?)

Can I put 4 in his chest?

If this police officer is in any way exonerated, is not charged with manslaughter (at least) and doesn’t serve prison time, then I see no barrier to shooting the next cop who makes me nervous (or anyone else for that matter). Next time a cop makes any suggestive move, or places his hand on the butt of his firearm (even if it stays in the holster) then I can make my move and shoot him, just so that I can be safe and go home to my family at night. (and no, I don’t intend to start shooting anyone, police officers or civilians…)

Look at the video. There is NO WAY that the cane can be construed to be any type of firearm. You can see it even in the crappy dashcam video….The officer should have been able to do so as well.

The York County Sheriffs office claims that Officer Knox followed procedure for a situation like this.

Whose procedure? Who approved of shooting people when there is no immediate threat? (Yeah, I know, they are gonna claim that he perceived a threat….but is that statement justifiable?) 

‘Cause if it is than My procedure is gonna lead to me defending myself from a lot more possible threats.

If the police are that afraid of every person they interact with, then they shouldn’t be police officers, shouldn’t have the right to carry a firearm, and shouldn’t be in any position of authority.

This officer killed attempted to kill a 70 year old man for no reason…….no matter what the department claims.

Yes, this is a tragedy. Mistakes were made…I got that. But it is still murder attempted murder. 

I’m sorry for the officer, but he should be in prison.

If it were you or I, that is where we’d be. And rightly so.

*Original reports were that the elderly man had been killed. subsequent reports say that the man is alive and expected to survive. Post updated accordingly. Instead of murder, it is attempted murder. Still think jail time is appropriate*

Although this has been promoted by mostly Europe the rest of the world for many years, it appears that the US is going to give up control of the internet as we know it. 

Do we really want that? As much business as we do over the web, do we want a bunch of Europeans  with anto American complexes (see also: Brussels) having control over the internet as we know it? Having the ability to change, deny or otherwise mess with Domain Names and such?

Is this a good idea? I don’t think so. Handing over control of something the US invented, and that the US has controlled in a benign manner from the beginning to a bunch of other countries who may not have our (or others) interests at heart is not a good idea.

Let ’em start their own brand of internet if they wanna control it.

It be 3.14
