She’s made a terrible discovery about her own shortcomings! THAT’S THE JOKE! HA HA HA HA!
Yeah, it’s a laugh a minute here.
So there was a shooting in Houston yesterday. Yup, this is newsworthy. Right up until you realize other shootings don’t get the same press as a college full of white kids.
That really is the elephant in the room, isn’t it? If it involves a cop gone on a rampage, or a black family, or even a shooting in a black neighborhood, nobody gives Shit #1 about it. But OMG SHOMEONE PULLED A GUN FOR A FIGHT and shot someone they hated, well, there’s your screaming headline. GOTTA WATCH OUT FOR THEM WHITE KIDS. SENSATIONALISM!
The media is playing the public like a fiddle, and it makes me sick.
Addendum: As of right now, the advertiser in the sidebar is for a video of women shakin’ dat ass. Totally NSFW. I don’t mind the revenue, and I don’t mind the video, but I do wonder how they ended up buying my adspace.
That ad probably has a very long and weird story behind it. I MUST KNOW IT.
I am absolutely not saying the shooting in Houston was because of the AWB being introduced this week, but I absolutely am sayign that the media coverage of the shooting in Houston was because of the AWB being introduced this week. Just sayin’.
Also, how the hell does she see through the hair?
Meh, this is just a variation on missing pretty white girl syndrome
It’s like everybody talks about the Mars rover Curiosity, even though Opportunity has been there ON MARS FOR TEN YEARS which is the far more impressive achievement.
Basically the media is incompetent, and haven’t been worthy of the title “journalists” for maybe 20 years now.
I’ve also noticed about the guy that shot himself at a gun show, even my friends are coming up and saying “did you see where that guy shot himself at a gun show!?! Guns are dangerous! They should be bannzzrrerd!!”
To which I say “did you see that guy that crashed & died on I-4? Cars are dangerous! They should be bannzzrrerd!!” and they look at me like I just grew a second head or something.
I’m just wondering, all these shootings, and you talk about some stupid goofball that shot himself with an unfamiliar gun? I told one friend “you bought a power staplegun 2 weeks ago… and shot yourself in the hand bad enough to need stitches, how is this different? Stapleguns are dangerous! They should be bannzzrrerd!!” – boy did he walk away with a pissed look…
One of these days I should buy something to shoot… other than my 30 year old BB gun. Not as if motorcycles, computers, and rockets are expensive enough hobbies however.
Latest update on the Texas college shooting is that the shooter plugged himself in the ass: http://tinyurl.com/b22clcf
Thought of you when I saw this. Great strip if you’re not a reader already. http://www.explosm.net/comics/3059/
Heh. We know those guys personally. Rob and Dave live locally, and we usually have a booth near them at Comic Con San Diego.
…and after looking at that strip in particular, it seems I must have a word with Rob. And by word, I mean duel. Son of a bitch, Obama is MY territory.
Careful, Rob may have Mal come play a round of brainball with you again. 🙂

“A shooting a day until Lord Obama gets His way.”
I suspect that’s pretty much it, RedHorse…
In my experiences I have seen the ‘Democrat’ party die with its last real President – in 1963! The posers since them have been better called Dummycrats of Commucrats, and have done NOTHING right since. I see them use dead people and forge records to get other illegal votes in to put at least three Whitehouse invaders in office since; I consider LBJ, WJC, and BHO fraudulent in office and their political party host to traitors. I am one of those who reads more than ‘mainstream media’ excuses for news and who considers the shootings as set up by the Dummycrats at the direction of traitors like Biden, Schumer, Feinstein, and Pelosi, and would solve the problem by voiding BHO’s claim to the Whitehouse, exiling all members of the anti-gun lobby for life, and banning gun control outright, then allowing legitimate judges to sentence murderers and rapists (and other ‘capital’ criminals) to death.
Is this a case of Poe’s Law?
On a light note involving guns;
It was a rare sunny afternoon in the NW. My son was playing with his Small Brand Name Vehicles on the deck beside me. I was on my belly with my son’s WZ-48 sitting on a bag and shouldered. Tin cans died a swift death by my hand. At 80m I was grouping at 1.5″ open irons. My boy takes a break from cars and starts lining up ammo on the deck board next to me so I can reload easier. Gave him 20 rounds and he was on target(5″ group at 30m, 6 years old) as well.
C’mon Obama, take that away from me. Enrichment and fulfillment come in many forms.
I don’t think she should be so hard on herself. She is after all, using a suppressed .22, probably with subsonic ammo. I’m sure a good stiff wind would mess with any shot fired out of it.
True story. My mentor Rich, from the old gun shop in Livermore was shooting a heavy barrel AR-15 out in the hills. The santanas are whipping through pretty hard. Trying to hit a large rock at over 100 yards, the wind kept sweeping the bullets away. He then tried his M-1 Garand, and nailed it, no problem. He and his buddy realized that a couple of old geezers with surplus 30-06 or 303 rifles could keep a modern squad pinned down from a distance pretty easily in heavy wind. No wonder Russian snipers loved their Mosin Nagants.
awwwwwwww i has a sad now.
i have had days like that where i just can’t shoot anything decent.
I stopped watching TV news for much more than weather and traffic a long time ago, mainly because of the MWGS Gene mentioned. Example: we’ve had our own shooting here in Albuquerque: http://tinyurl.com/aekrjc5
Now, it was family-only, but still, it’s being picked apart until we find something else to look at when it comes on.
The shooting happened at the school I graduated from, where I still have friends and teachers. I’m glad it was a fairly-isolated incident, but it did scare the life out of me until I was able to contact everyone I knew who might be there. Honestly, I’m glad it was idiots-with-guns-shooting-at-each-other, rather than psychopath-with-guns-shooting-at-everyone.
Awww, it’s like a cartoon of me, except with boobs and blue hair. 10 years after shattering my arm, I still am only maybe 85% of the shooter I used to be with that hand. Just about the most frustrating thing in the world when your body doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to.
