springheel_jack pointed me to this: Bill O'Reilly, who has been sailing further and further from the shore, reports that gangs of armed lesbians are running amok. Apparently they force homosexuality on hapless victims, some as young as 10 years old! Best quote: "It's all over the country," Wheeler replied. "I mean, you go from New York to California to wherever you want to name, you can see these organizations." Next came the pink guns. "Now, the other thing, too, that our viewers are going to find very, very interesting, is the fact that they actually carry—some of these groups carry pink pistols," Wheeler said. "They call themselves the pink-pistol-packing group. And these are lesbians that actually carry pistols. That's 9-millimeter Glocks. They use these. They commit crimes, and they cause a lot of hurt to a lot of people.". And, terror of terrors, THEY'RE RIGHT!

This month's specials are a Smokeless Fumé Blanc '98, a charmingly rusty but deburred 1911 Colt, and several beautifully aged and rare 1944 Mauser Qualitatswehr from the extremely limited Himmler Select collection. For a relaxed sipping evening we once again offer excellent values in case quantities of Mad Dog 30/30.
Great idea. Alcohol and firearms are an awesome mix. I think I'll also join the American Heart Association Bacon Club, and order another case of Abstinence Project Thongs from Cafe Press.

Evildoer located
May. 20th, 2006 01:35 amThey busted a terrorist cell and weapons depot in San Bernardino County. There were more than 1,300 weapons, including machine guns, silencers, and a grenade. There were five pounds of C4 plastic explosive and a terrorist training camp at a chicken ranch in Pomona.
But it's a below-the-fold news story. Why aren't there breaking story alerts, live press conferences, CNN 3-D reconstructions of the scene, constant re-running of grainy arrest footage?
Because he's a Cuban exile, of course. Those are the happy kind of terrorist.

The secret online code that keeps parents in the dark

LORI MATSUKAWA / KING 5 News
Sixteen-year-old Niles Jeran uses “leet speak,” an online lingo system that’s popular with kids. His friends use it too.
"I can see why parents would be worried just because it could, it can lead to danger," he said.
“LOL” for “laughing out loud” and “TTYL” for “talk to ya later” sound innocent enough, but if you look behind some other acronyms, there could be something sinister.
"I can see why parents would be worried just because it could, it can lead to danger," said Jeran.
Here's why they're worried:
- “KPC“ means “keeping parents clueless.”
- “POS” means “parent over the shoulder.”
- “GYPO” means “get your pants off.”
- "TDTM" means “talk dirty to me.”
"If you see that on your child's screen they're talking to somebody they shouldn't be," said Al Kush of Seattle-based WiredSafety.org, an Internet safety Web site for parents and teens.

He says some leet speak is harmless, but some like TDTM is a red flag.
"That could be the first step towards blackmailing to get a kid to perform sex acts,” he said.
"NIFOC is one of the terms they will sometimes use and it means ‘naked in front of computer,’" said Kush.
And leet speak gets even sneakier. Some words replace letters with numbers and symbols.
"There are too many predators out there that could endanger their kids' lives or could sexualize them too early by sending unwanted messages and pictures and things like that and Leet speak is just a gateway to all of that,” said family therapist Barbara Melton.
Some counselors even specialize in internet issues like this.
Susan Shankle counseled one family whose young daughter started a steamy online affair right in front of them.
"While the mom was cooking dinner and the dad was watching television, the daughter, who was 11 at the time, was carrying on this conversation with this older man," she said.
And her parents constantly checked the messages, too.
There is a way to learn the lingo, and that’s by going online yourself. There are Web sites with online dictionaries and translators to help, like Teenangels.org or Netlingo.com.
Wiredsafety.org operates the Teenangels.org site. There, they offer a chat translator to help parents learn the lingo.
Wiredsafety says some parental control software may also help.

Only Sheriff Frank Booth Can Save Us Now!
Apr. 28th, 2006 02:00 amSo, you remember the guy who wiped out at 162 mph on PCH in Malibu in an ultra-rare Ferrari? Right. And he turned out to be a Swedish criminal and failed video game entrepreneur? Right. And now it turns out that the guy he was racing, another Swedish criminal, had a house full of illegal guns and was arrested for using a fake cop ID to avoid background checks? Right. And that the fake cop ID was from the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority, who represent themselves as a Homeland Security police organization because they give rides to old people? Right.
Hey, guess what! These guys have ties to our own Orange County Sheriff! The guy who tried to cover up the gang rape of a 15 year old girl because his buddy's son did it! The guy who additionally covered up the kid's crimes during his trial! And, of course, the guy who hands out deputy badges and guns to all the boys in the back room so they can crank off shots at miscellaneous citizens at the golf course or over a parking space! Turns out one of those guns from one of those guys ended up in Big Steve Eriksson's house, along with the other guns that, as a foreign national and a felon, he's not allowed to have. Gosh. Mike Carona, what sleaze have you NOT been involved in this year?
Deputy's Gun Is Latest Twist in Ferrari Crash
The weapon of an O.C. reserve officer is found in a raid at the home of the car's alleged driver.

Detectives are trying to figure out why a handgun belonging to a reserve deputy for the Orange County Sheriff's Department was found at the Bel-Air mansion of the former European video game executive accused of crashing a rare Ferrari Enzo in Malibu in February.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies confiscated the gun during a raid at the home of Bo Stefan Eriksson, who faces grand theft, embezzlement and DUI charges related to the accident.

For those who need a machine gun that just keeps on firing, and firing, and firing, and firing, we present the E4 Revision of the M60 Machine Gun
Looks like it would be particularly handy if you were covering a general retreat from the mall and the zombies were surging out of the food court by the score.

Santa Claus Uses Handgun to Protect Children From Terrorists
Here's the Christmas card sent out by the Citizens Committee to Keep and Bear Arms:
I have some concerns. First of all, Santa is not using an approved grip or stance for handgun shooting. One-hand shooting is not recommended, and the loose grasp he has on the firearm is going to result in instability, poor aim, and possibly total loss of control.
Second, although he has the children pushed behind him, there is an infant directly below the handgun. Not only could a terrible mishap occur if his gun somehow went off while pointed down, but raining hot brass from an autopistol on infants is very poor form.
Third, the terrorist does not appear to have any firearms himself and is soletly armed with explosives. Santa is not only risking everyone's life in that room by pointing a firearm at the explosives, but he's missing the opportunity either to shoot the bomber directly in the head — thus ending the terrorist mission — or to physically assault the bomber and remove him from the area so that he cannot demolish the tree or kill the children. Merely threatening him with the firearm may result in far worse results than either shooting him in the head or tackling him. Since the terrorist is very clumsily using dynamite sticks with fuses, there is unlikely to be any dead man's switch or trip wire that would frustrate this attempt, and a terrorist taken alive is far more valuable to the international community than a corpse.
Therefore I cannot support arming poorly trained Santa Clauses. Even though the threat to Christmas may be very serious, reflexively arming previously unarmed sectors of society is likely to result in more harm than good.
A bigger version of the card is available from the url above; I resized it.

The Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) is mounted on top of a HMMWV and controlled from a command center within the vehicle. This system can mount the M2 50-cal machine gun, the M240 medium machine gun, the MK19 automatic grenade launcher, and the M249 squad automatic weapon in addition to a powerful color day camera, an infrared camera, and a range finder. This system allows the gunner to sit within the armored vehicle and, using a computer screen, control the weapon with the use of a joystick. Prior experience with Xbox desired but not required.
