Research Shows Cell Phone Use Doesn’t Cause Cancer

You know the old debate, some people claim cell phone use will cause cancer while others do not. I’m firmly in the do not category. It looks like my views have been founded. A 30 year study (you need to start before cell phone use was common) of almost everybody (their words, no mine) in Scandinavia revealed no increase in brain tumors after the 1990s when cell phone use took off.

So everybody can stop bitching. If you buy into this research just don’t use a cell phone and shut the Hell up and let me use mine.

Microstamping Hearing in Wisconsin

Snowflakes in Hell posted an article that again proves two things. First California is the gun control lobby’s testing ground and two if something passes there you can expect to see it coming to a state near you.

Remember microstamping? Yeah that technology that can’t be reliably implemented even though is going to be required soon in California. Well it looks like the anti-freedom zealots are trying to push it through in my backyard, Wisconsin. I wouldn’t be so worried for my Wisconsin friends by their firearm laws already suck pretty hard. If you live in that state get ready to fight this.

Go Honduras

Even though I still think it was worthless for the Honduras government to even talk about reinstating their ousted constitution violating ex-president they did. Fortunately they have decided to uphold their constitution by rejecting the idea to return ex-president Zelaya to power. Out of the 125 congress members in attendance 111 said Zelaya can go fuck himself with a retractable baton.

So it’s true, there are still countries out there that uphold their laws, unlike mine country.

Bad News, Metal Storm Close To Bankruptcy

Sometimes you get good news in the morning and sometimes not. This is one of those nots. The Firearm Blog reports that Metal Storm is approaching bankruptcy.

For those of you who don’t know Metal Storm it’s an Australian based company that developed a new feeding mechanism for firearms. Instead of having detachable magazines Metal Storm’s guns stack ammunition in the barrel. The ammunition has no casing instead it’s simply powder, bullet, powder, bullet, etc. Small electrodes are placed in the barrel where the powder lays. These electrodes ignite the powder sending the round on it’s way. The advantage to this was the capability to create a weapon with less moving parts and a much higher rate of fire.

They made some rather wicked machine guns and grenade launchers. It’ll be a sad day if they go under (down under?).

Strange Success Metric

Ah yes the Brady Campaign. They claim to be against violence but in fact they are against firearm ownership. How do we know this? Well Joe Huffman looks at their rating of success. According to Helmke stopping people from buying firearms is their success metric, not whether their bullshit reduced violence.

This Could Be Stock With Investing In

You know those Somali pirates sure are trying their best to become professional. They’ve not opened up a stock market of sorts. From the article:

In Somalia’s main pirate lair of Haradheere, the sea gangs have set up a cooperative to fund their hijackings offshore, a sort of stock exchange meets criminal syndicate.

You can invest in the pirates and you gain part of their profits, much like stock markets here. As we know generally accepted maritime rules do not allow ships to sail armed so they’re easy pickings for pirates. This means piracy will not be going away anytime soon. Unlike everything else on the planet this could actually get stock market where you can make money.

Obama Trying To Be More Like Bush Every Day

Seriously I thought Obama was all about hope and change. Well he certainly isn’t about change when it comes to the war department. Showing that he wants to emulate Bush he’s authorized 30,000 more troops to be sent over to Afghanistan. Strangely enough the Taliban vows to fight them.

I thought Obama said he’d try to pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Wasn’t that one of the things he campaigned on? You know how much money this country would save if we weren’t at a constant state of war?
