It's Preston Brooks Day!

Otherwise known as "Take a cane to a Senator" Day.

Hypothetically speaking, which US Senator would you want to take a cane to? Answer in comments. I nominate Harry Reid.

I Guess The Question of the Day Is...

Congressman Grayson, are you still beating your wife?

The Relentless Logic of Al Sharpton

via Gateway Pundit:



REV AL SHARPTON (28 Dec 2012): In any civilized society you do not see massacres continue to happen, from Tucson to Aurora to Columbine to Virginia Tech to where we are now in Newtown to Chicago and you keep the same laws when clearly they’re not working.

ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: What happens when the criminal goes to knives Al?

REV AL SHARPTON: Then you deal with knives.

ROSCOE IN MARYLAND: Oh I see.

REV AL SHARPTON: The same thing as if you have a head cold and the same thing you do if you have a head cold and the cold is gone and you have a headache. Then you take headache medicine. The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it.

Taken to its logical end, the Rev. Al solution would still leave you able to bite someone's leg off:



Although I guess Rev. Al would, at that point suggest knocking their teeth out.

Still, that one line...

"The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it."

Hey, Rev. Al, in major cities throughout the country we have a problem with violence. We've identified the source of the problem. Are you sure you want us to deal with it? Really sure? I mean really really?

Tweren't Mormons

Looks like the annual list of the USA's most dangerous cities is out. The top 10 is as follows:

1. Flint, Michigan
2. Detroit, Michigan
3. St. Louis, Missouri
4. Oakland, California
5. Memphis, Tennessee
6. Little Rock, Arkansas
7. Birmingham, Alabama
8. Atlanta, Georgia
9. Baltimore, Maryland
10. Stockton, California

The article doesn't speculate, of course, as to why the top ten were violent, other than the usual liberal platitudes about poverty, because speculation quickly leads to accusations, and there's damned few bloggers willing to face that onslaught. Suffice to say that demographics is a key component of the problem, and as my friend Del Gue has wisely observed, it isn't Mormons committing all the violent acts:

You Want To See Blood? Violence? Mayhem?

Here ya go:

A New Card Enters the Deck

Since the Race Card thrown down by blacks and white liberals is dogeared and worn out these days, it was only a matter of time before some enterprising race hustler came up with a new trump:

Enter the Violence Card.

Here’s how it works. When confronted with an instance of racially charged violence against a black person, a commentator draws attention to the fact that there is much more black-on-black violence than white-on-black violence. To play the violence card — as many criminal-justice advocates have done since the Rodney King police brutality case of the early 1990s — is to suggest that black people should worry more about the harm they do to themselves and less about how victimized they are by others.

In other words, pointing out black violence makes you a racist.

Honey Badger Blood Orgy - - NSFW

This one had me literally laughing out loud. It takes a couple of minutes to get going, but once the Honey Badger appears, the bloodshed begins.
