I’m not going to try to reason with oatmeal and I’m not going to argue with the gun haters.
WASHINGTON (NPN) – On the heels of the national gun control debate that has been raging over the past few weeks, Senator Feinstein, D-Ca, is attempting to push through a bill to ban all projectile firing devices, especially those that can be loaded with more than one projectile.
“This is not a ban against weapons, as that would be unconstitutional,” said the senator, “it is simply a ban on devices that fire projectiles. As we all know, projectiles are dangerous and can hurt and kill people, so we need to get them off of the streets.”
When asked if this included all handguns, hunting rifles, and even BB guns, the senator confirmed this was the case. “Oh yes, those BB guns seem so innocent, but you could shoot your eye out with one of those things.”
A spokesperson for senator Feinstein’s office which is responsible for drafting the new legislation explained that this is not an infringement of people’s rights to bear arms.
“Let them have swords” said the spokesperson. “Or even spears. You can hunt with a spear. And sword fights are fun.”
Gun rights activists like the NRA are up in arms about this new push to ban all guns, setting a date for a rally at the capital and multiple television ads.
“We are not going to sit by while this government tramples our rights to keep and bear arms.” said Tom Green, a gun rights activist. “And not only that, but I spent hundreds on my Nerf gun collection and they want to take it away. I’ll have nothing to do at work!”
White House press secretary Jay Carney held court as reporters bombarded him with questions about the legislation.
“Look, first what I want to say is, the President did not push for any such legislation and so we don’t know all of the details.” said Carney. “But from what I, uh, I understand of senator Feinstein’s bill is that this will only effect a small number of projectile firing devices, not necessarily guns exactly, per se, etc.”
Upon being asked what exactly he defines as being a gun other than a projectile firing device, Carney ripped his shirt off, flexed his biceps and said “now these are guns baby!”. He then held his pose frozen until the reporters finally left.
There are also unconfirmed reports surfacing that several other Democrat members of the Senate are drafting their own bills in an effort to keep the public safe, such as a ban on all types of eapons that start with a “w”, a ban on sharp material separation devices, a ban on devices that have triggers, and a ban on pointy sticks.
There is a rumor that there is also a proposal to ban laws against pederasty, but NPN was unable to confirm which creepy old Democrat Senator from Nevada was looking into such legislation.

Let’s all get on a high horse and start talking about how the First amendment was created during a time of hand powered printing presses and the power of the un-amplified voice. The Founding Fathers had no idea of electronic communication so the First Amendment does not apply to powered printing and television. When they start to sputter tell ’em that’s what you’re saying about firearms. Watch their heads explode.
In my new PJ Media column, I warn that Math is coming.
Right now the Republicans and Democrats are hotly debating which of their two wholly inadequate plans we should use to avoid the fiscal cliff, but looking at the size of the deficit, they’re proposing different-sized Band-Aids where a tourniquet is needed. If you point this out, you’re called a Tea Party extremist who wants to throw old people off a cliff and deny underprivileged Ivy League law students free birth control. “You silly person. Budgets don’t have to balance. That’s just a superstition.”
For allowing a reporter to use the phrase “high capacity ammunition“.
The commentary at The Real Revo [High Praise!] nails it:
It’s like listening to your high school girlfriend talk about cars: “Is my brother’s 351 engine faster than your 350 engine?”
Or your grandma talk about drugs: “Are you kids shooting up marijuana?”
Or grandpa talk about the Internet: “How much does it cost to get on to the wicky-pedia to deliver Eddie and Pearl an email?”
Or your sister talk about tools: “I need a screwdriver with an X on the end but I don’t know if I need metric or the other kind.”
You may now begin substituting the phrase “New York Times reporter” in blonde jokes.

Oh, and if this is how the post office works, just wait until the government is running your healthcare.
Keln of Nuking Politics picked his favorite punchlines to “Obama sent a post card from Hawaii that said…”

If you did, you should probably email him about becoming a guest blogger there.
If you didn’t, he’s got another straight line for you to practice on.
Keep trying. No one likes a quitter.

There’s now an app where you can report crimes in Marion, Virginia. It’s called iWatchMarion.
Now, don’t go being all silly and downloading it and then reporting a bunch of crazy stuff. First, that’s the wrong thing to do. And, if that’s not a good enough reason, keep in mind that it knows where you are. Yes, it tracks the person that submits the report!
Because iWatch Marion uses global positioning technology, the system intelligently forwards information to the Howard County Police Department based on where the handheld device is physically located at any given moment.
Yeah, this whole “See Something, Say Something” thing kinda bothers me. Oh, sure, I have no problem with neighborhood watch programs. One got Trayvon Martin off the streets, after all. But anything from the Department of Homeland Security — one of the most useless government departments, if not the most useless — can’t be all good. Or any good.
In fact, the maker of this app has a whole series of similar apps for different areas. And, like I said, something about it bothers me.
But, having said that, I do like the idea of reporting criminal activity. Where’s the iWatchObama app?

Publisher’s comment:
Publisher Luis Venegas talked to Dazed Digital about the thought behind “The Candydate”, as the clever coverline reads:
“I especially love the cover story, which for the first time isn’t a super-popular star, but a fabulous, beautiful black transwoman channeling a politician who looks pretty much like Michelle Obama. I remember back in early 2007 when the Democratic Party’s nominees were narrowed down between two ‘controversial’ stereotypes never before seen for presidency: a black man, Barack Obama; and a woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton. At that time, I thought, ‘when will the time come when these archaic walls break down and the White House will be occupied by, for example, a black, transsexual woman?'”
Weird thing is, I would totally vote for her if she were running on a platform of lower taxes & smaller government.
You know why?
No boob belt.
Anyway, this picture makes me very happy because you KNOW liberals find it insulting and demeaning to Michelle Obama (which it is), but they can’t say a word about it because transsexuals are a “more equal” protected class, and calling out this bit of vile effrontery would classify the critic as homophobic.
BWAHAHAHAHA!

So, Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security, who resigned in the aftermath of the Benghazi massacre is still working for the State Department? That’s what one report says.
Maybe he’s like Milton from Office Space who was laid off but kept coming to work.
Nah, that would mean it’s a comedy of errors.
And there’s nothing funny whatsoever about what happened in Benghazi.
