Sequester is dumb. Smart isn’t on the table. Advantage: Sequester.

Aw, come on, I was just joking. You know, I made you feel bad as a joke. Your feelings are a toy to me.

Demand, in Congress, and in every State House, and every City Council, the repeal of ALL GUNS/ARMS LAWS.

I want THAT to be the starting place for negotiations with sleezy, lying, deceitful, commie, collectivist, elitist, gun-grabber Progressives & Democrats.

No more starting at the place we are now, with altogether too many gun restrictions already infringing wildly on the Second Amendment… only to be told we have to be open to “reasonable compromise”.

Ah. NO.

We start at Zero. At where the Constitution says we ought to be…

“SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”.

And if the scheming bastard liars want “reasonable compromise”, they can start by begging us to restrict the sale of hand-grenades to kindergarteners.

If the sequestration goes through, that’s 2% cut of the government’s budget. As we all know, the government very efficiently spends all its money, so any cut of that size means absolute devastation.

Here are some things that will result from the sequestration cuts:

* All prisons will be shut down and prisoners released. Even the most violent of criminals.

* Army bases will be closed in Hawaii and the islands will be surrendered to Japan.

* Medicare will be replaced with a hammer given to old people to kill themselves with.

* All zoos will be shut down and zoo animals released. Even the most violent of baboons.

* Our military will be armed with nothing but bayonets.

* All traffic lights will be turned off.

* No more money for cowboy poetry festivals, the only thing keeping cowboys from violence and thus the only thing keeping the wild west from breaking out again.

* Orphanages will be closed and all the orphans’ possessions will be thrown in the river.

* No more postage for strongly-worded letters sent to Iran and North Korea telling them to stop having nuclear weapons.

* Obama will only get five golf outings a month.

It may be possible to find some less devastating ways to make the cuts (which is more a reduction in increase to spending than actual cuts), but to do that would take so much time Obama would only get four golf outings in a month.

I didn’t watch the Oscars. I’m happy with that decision.

Didn’t see any of the pictures nominated for best film this year, and I don’t think that’s my fault. The thing about all the pictures that get most of the nominations is that they are no fun. Why isn’t fun a factor in picking the best film? Shouldn’t that be a main question when judging a movie: “Was it any fun?”

Like look at what won best picture in 1989: Rain Man. That was actually a pretty good pick considering how many other forgettable films no one ever talks about anymore have won. But it has the usual, boring stuff the Oscar people go for: dramatic pathos and what not. But what was really the best movie from the year Rain Man came out? Die Hard, obviously. People still watch Die Hard constantly, and it has influenced thousands of movies that came after it. And it was one of the most fun movies ever. It had everything a movie should have: explosions, gun fights, quips — all the things that wouldn’t work in a play but makes an awesome movie. So why didn’t it win best picture? Because obviously the Oscar people have no idea what a good movie is. And a big part of that is that a good movie should be fun.

So if the Oscars are dying to become more relevant, tell them that the first question they should ask about a movie is: Was it fun? They were debating whether Argo was better than Lincoln when absolutely everyone else was debating whether the Avengers is better than Dark Knight Rises. And frankly, everyone else is wiser here.
