I hadn’t planned on posting today since nobody bothers to stop by on weekends,but I saw something this morning that just broke my heart and I had to vent.We are all watching helplessly as these criminals are systematically dismantling everything that at one time made our country the greatest in history.The tyrant is moving as fast as he can to bankrupt the country and put his party of thieves in a position to control the citizens in perpetuity.The media is still foursquare behind him even though he shows nothing but hostility toward them and treats them like the useful idiots they are.There is not enough bandwidth to try to list some of the myriad transgressions he’s committed,but something this morning just really turned my stomach.Check out the first comment for the most horrifying thing I’ve seen in awhile.

Got this in email. Can’t check veracity, but the pics sure look real enough!

A guy came into the police department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range. He said there was a loud bang when he tested his new ammo (Chinese-made), and the gun smacked him in the forehead, leaving a nice gash. Bet he never uses Chinese-made ammo again!

Do NOT eat or drink while watching this!

I laughed so hard, I nearly choked WITHOUT having anything in my mouth but my own spit! ROFLLL

H/t GP.

The MSM is doing its best to scrub this stuff. I got one word. Internet.

Some gems from Dorner’s long, rambling and very angry manifesto which is posted in full @ http://www.scribd.com/doc/124380348/Chris-Dorner-Unredacted-Manifesto:

I love your new bangs, Mrs. Obama. A woman whose professional and educational accomplishments are second to none when compared to recent First wives.

Before you start with your argument that you believe I would vote for Obama because he has the same skin color as me, fuck you. I didn’t vote in this last election as my choice of candidate, John Huntsman, didn’t win the primary candidacy for his party. Mr. President, I haven’t agreed with all of your decisions but of course I haven’t agreed with all of your predecessors decisions. I think you’ve done a hell of a job with what you have been dealt and how you have managed it.

Mr. Vice President, do your due diligence when formulating a concise and permanent national AWB plan. Future generations of Americans depend on your plan and advisement to the president. I’ve always been a fan of yours and consider you one of the few genuine and charismatic politicians. Damn, sounds like an oxymoron calling you an honest politician. It’s the truth.

Hillary Clinton. You’ll make one hell of a president in 2016. Much like your husband, Bill, you will be one of the greatest. Look at Castro in San Antonio as a running mate or possible secretary of state. He’s (good people) and I have faith and confidence in him. Look after Bill. He was always my favorite President. Chelsea grew up to be one hell of an attractive woman. No disrespect to her husband.

Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work.

Give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card. Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws but you must understand that your critics will always have in the back of their mind that you are native to a country that we won our sovereignty from while using firearms as a last resort in defense and you come from a country that has no legal private ownership of firearms. That is disheartening to American gun owners and rightfully so.

The honorable President George H.W. Bush, they never give you enough credit for your successful Presidency. You were always one of my favorite Presidents (2nd favorite). I hope your health improves greatly. You are the epitome of an American and service to country.

General Petraeus, you made a mistake that the majority of men make once, twice, or unfortunately many times in a lifetime. You are human. You thought with your penis. It’s okay.I personally believe you should have never resigned and told your critics to shove it. You only answer to two people regarding the affair, your wife and children, period. I hope you return to government service to your country as it is visibly in your DNA.

General Colin Powell, your book “My American Journey” solidified my decision to join the military after college. I had always intended to serve, but your book and journey motivated me. You are an inspiration to all Americans and influenced me greatly.

Ellen Degeneres, continue your excellent contribution to entertaining America and bringing the human factor to entertainment. You changed the perception of your gay community and how we as Americans view the LGBT community. I congratulate you on your success and opening my eyes as a young adult, and my generation to the fact that you are know different from us other than who you choose to love. Oh, and you Prop 8 supporters, why the fuck do you care who your neighbor marries. Hypocritical pieces of shit.

Charlie Sheen, you’re effin awesome.

Our word plumb comes from the Latin word plumbum which means lead, for the lead weight people put on the end of a plumb line that is used to establish a true vertical.

I found something intriguing when I googled PLUMB. Hubby is an architect and carpenter who often uses the expression “plumb, level and square”, so I already knew about plumb lines on land.

I also knew that “plumb the depths” meant “to carefully examine something in order to understand or explain it.” But I didn’t realize it came from the same activity that led Samuel Clemens to choose his pen name.

The lead weight at the bottom of a water plumb line is hollow, so the “leadsman” who “heaves the lead” and “sings the mark” can also pull up a sample of the bottom. In shallow, changing conditions like those Mississippi River steamboats must contend with, both the depth and the bottom material (mud, sand, rock) can present serious hazards.

The lines are marked with different colors, so the water depth can be easily read. In the days of Mark Twain, the “mark” (depth) was literally sung by the leadsman so the pilot was kept aware of potentially dangerous conditions. As a young man, Samuel Clemens worked as a Mississippi steamboat pilot. His pen name, Mark Twain, was the favorite mark for a pilot to hear, because it meant the boat had 12 feet of water under it and was therefore safe.

Since plumb means “exactly vertical”, plumb also gets used to mean things like “absolutely” or “exactly” as in:

• “He’s plumb crazy.”
• “I fell plumb in the middle of the puddle.”
• “I’m plumb worn out.”

One can also refer to another person as being “out of plumb” or “off plumb” – i.e., a tad whacked, a few fries short of a Happy Meal, plumb crazy.

Then there are the verb forms: plumb, plumbed, plumbing, plumbs. Obviously, they are the action words for all of the above. But to plumb also means to weight with lead and to seal with lead.  Why would you want to seal anything with lead? I’m guessing you should ask a plumber. And speaking of plumbers, to plumb also means to to work as a plumber.

I’m thinking maybe the plumb/plumbing/plumber connection is because pipes were originally made of lead. Did you know that lead is very toxic and that one of the names for lead poisoning is “plumbism”?

Lead poisoning can cause abnormal behavior, including confusion, irritability, hyperactivity and distractibility.

Isn’t it funny-peculiar that the English word plumb originally came from the Latin word for lead, because people used a lead weight on a string to find the vertical … and then, because verticality suggests balanced, upright and correct, being off plumb came mean something that is caused by lead poisoning?

Is anybody else as irritated as I am that the libtards keep bringing up MLK when everybody knows he would have no place in todays democrat party?He constantly preached against the violence,racism and class warfare that are the cornerstone of their ideology. I can stomach no more of their hypocrisy and the media’s persistent ass-licking of the ones doing genuine harm to our nation.

When I finish this,I’m mulling either rearranging my sock drawer then trimming my nose hair with DW’s pinking shears or watching the entire last season of Swamp People on DVD.Either is a better use of my time and far more satisfying than watching a bunch of liberals congratulating themselves.A shockingly large section of the country worships this thug like he’s a deity.When he’s crucified,buried and is resurrected,not only would I worship him,I’d be a fan.Until then I’ll reserve my praise for the One who already did it.
