I wonder how Bonnie Raitt and Carlos Santana

and all the other musicians and actors who just LOOOOOVE Castro excuse this?

Or do they just ignore it, like they do the racism and filthy hospitals for the commoners?


It should be noted by all proper government-hating ingrates(i.e. 'people who want to be left the hell alone') that the FDA should not be forgotten when compiling the list of agencies that need to be seriously cut back. If they've got time and money for this crap, then they've got an excess of both. And personnel, too.
No, I'm not forgetting the dirtbag politicians who passed this crap and who fail to rein in these bastards.


Speaking of bastards, the House decided we can be allowed to buy 100-watt incandescent bulbs for a year longer. But the bastards still want us to be forced into using those damned fluorescents. As Claire asks, if the amount of mercury is so small and "Don't worry about it!", why this list of how to so carefully clean up after one breaks?


Ah, the Only Ones:
Two policemen are recovering after they were shot by fellow officers as they tried to arrest a man on child pornography charges outside a crowded move theatre.

The incident happened as undercover officers tried to apprehend the unarmed man in the parking lot as he left a screening of Harry Potter in Plainville, Connecticut.

The officers opened fire after Eric Gothberg, 45, suddenly reached for his waistband after resisting arrest.

One policeman arriving as back-up was hit by a bullet in his arm. Another was injured by shards of glass.
They did manage to hit the suspect once, in the foot, during all this.
Only THEY can be trusted to possess firearms; remember that.
Speaking of which,
According to a 2010 Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report, DHS employees had 243 firearms lost or stolen between 2006 and 2008. Of those, 64 were lost because of circumstances beyond DHS's control — such as during an assault on an agent or officer — or despite having the weapons secured in safes or lock boxes.

But 74 percent, or 179 guns, were lost "because officers did not properly secure them," the report said. Officers left them in restrooms, vehicles and other public places, according to the OIG report.


"Please don't sue us again! Will figure something out!"


Note that while Mayors Against Guns is trying to keep honest citizens from having arms, they've got some pretty dodgy characters as members of their group. Child porn? Hey, Nanny Bloomberg, how does this sit with your "We know what's good for you" attitude?


Finally, to the people in the parking lot at the grocery store: I get that you ran into a friend, and you're glad to see each other, but could you MOVE YOUR ASSES out of the geometric center of that lane intersection so people can get by? It might even keep the kids from getting run over.
