Yes Let’s Shut Al Gore Up

As I’ve stated before my company gets a copy of the Red Star Star Tribune and every day I like to read the letters to the editor. I seriously find some comic gold. Take this one for instance:

PALIN ON GLOBAL WARMING

Publishing her shows media irresponsibility

I strongly object to your publishing a column by Sarah Palin on global warming (Dec. 10). She is not a climate scientist, and her opinion is unimportant. By publishing her the Star Tribune is asserting that the opinions of scientifically untrained and ignorant celebrities are as important as the opinions of climate scientists. There might be a place for her opinion if you published numerous essays on global warming including many by climate scientists. But I have never seen such an piece by an actual scientist.

In addition, in reporting on global warming, the Star Tribune routinely treats the opinions of scientifically untrained people as valid and as worthy of consideration as the research and reports of climate scientists. No wonder Americans are far more poorly informed on global warming issues than the citizens of other countries.

JAMES KERWIN, MINNEAPOLIS

Emphasis was added to show Mr. Kerwin’s logic. According to him the paper was irresponsible to publish Sarah Palin’s ideas about global warming climate change because she’s not a climate scientist. Since she’s not a climate scientist her opinion is unimportant.

I agree. And since Al Gore isn’t a climate scientist we should stop publishing anything he says on the topic of his little apocalypse prediction.

Why It’s Smart to Have a Spare Carry Rig

This post is two fold, first an explanation why you should have a complete backup carry rig and second to compliment a company.

Earlier this week I noticed a small crack on the Kydex of my carry holster. The crack appeared where the Kydex curves down from the part that covers the top of the slide and meets the rivets which fasten the Kydex to the leather. Well anyways the holster is a Crossbreed SuperTuck which has a lifetime warranty. I decided to test it out and on Saturday I shot them off an e-mail. They responded, on a frickin Sunday. Anyways I just have to ship it off to them and they’ll take care of it. Sweet deal.

Oh and of course I’m required to give my FTC disclaimer when talking about products. Dear FTC please send me your mailing address so I can ship you a retractable baton. You know the rest.

Anyways the also brought up the fact I’m glad I bought a carry holster for my Glock 30SF. A lot of people have a spare carry gun but many of those people don’t have a spare carry holster. The idea is the gun will fail at some point but most people don’t stop to think that the holster may also fail. If you carry a gun you should have a complete backup carry rig. Sure you can buy to of the same gun and two of the same holster, but you should have backups to everything you need when carrying. You never know what is going to break nor when.

Congress Approves Amtrak Firearm Transportation

Good news everybody Congress voted in favor of allowing gun owners to transport their firearms in checked luggage when traveling on Amtrak.

Amtrak will be forced to reestablish their system for allowing firearms in checked luggage much like airports do. When this goings through I may actually consider Amtrak a viable transportation method.

We Fight Fire With Fire

Here’s an example of how we fight back. A certain “news” organization by the moniker the Herald Times went and published a list of streets where people holding concealed carry licenses lived. Of course they did this in the name of safety.

So in the name of safety Gun Nuts Media present a database of streets with a Google map of streets where authorized journalists live. This is of course in the name of safety.

Your move Herald Times.

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.

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.

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.

Apparently Somali Pirate Dislike Being Shot At

Who knew? According to Snowflakes in Hell a ship was able to dissuade Somali pirates from boarding. How? Well:

Somali pirates attacked the Maersk Alabama on Wednesday for the second time in seven months and were thwarted by private guards on board the U.S.-flagged ship who fired off guns and a high-decibel noise device.

I have to agree with Sebastian on this one, I think the noise makers had little to do with fighting off the Mongol Somali hoards. Something tells me they were more afraid of being killed by bullets than discomforted by loud noise.
