Gun Stupidity
Im not going to go into a big post about how I think guns are simply not needed in the average American houshold unless you are A) a hunter, B) a cop or C) in the military. Otherwise you don't need a gun. Not unless you are involved in other illegal enterprises.
But here is an article about 3 people who were hurt at a gun show in Michigan. One of them just happened to be a 10 year old girl...... WTF....the first and most obvious question is why the fuck is there a 10 year old girl at a gun show? I call that totally irresponsible on the part of her parents and also on the gun show...is there not some sort of age limit? No one under 18? Actually I think a more appropriate age is 21. I know some teenagers do hunt with their fathers, but they don't need to go to gun shows to get shotguns for hunting. Sporting goods stores have plenty of hunting arms if thats the case. I would also have to question....why was there ammunition in the gun???? Its a gun show not a shooting range. That means you look at the gun, not put ammo in it and shoot it. Those who support support gun control are not trying to take away anybody's guns, we just ask for some common fucking sense regulations so 10 year old girls don't get shot at gun shows and so lunatics don't end up with guns going on mass shooting rampages. But thats asking too much for the right wing lunatics we call the Tea/Republican party.Category: News
Tea Party "Brain Washing" Summer Camp
This sounds like a lot of fun:
What parent hates their kid this much that they would subject their kids to this crap? Liberty, Free Markets, Faith and Limited Government.....gee I wish I could have gone to a camp like that when I was 8. Run kids run! The school that this "brain washing" camp is being held at is the Paideia School, I was curious and went to the site of the schools curriculum documents. The link to the school I posted is the science curriculum....proof that schools are doing this...they are actually using a Bible to help teach 8th grade science......This is what this whole movement is about. Brain washing kids to their version of the truth which is actually bullshit. I guess you have to give them credit for sticking to what they believe in. Bottom line, these kids are going to be raised just as ignorant as the whole Tea Party movement.Category: Politics
Same Old Crap
Um ......NO
HELL NO!
Sabres fans, its the same old crap. Drew Stafford may well be the big signing of the offseason, why? I have no clue. Yeah he had 31 goals during the regular season then obviously forgot to show up for the playoffs because he didn't have nary a goal in the playoffs. So why they would throw the money they did at him is beyond me. Is the free agent crop that thin? Save the money and invest in a 10 year deal for Tyler Myers.
Add to that the possibility, to even think that Chris Drury A) may be bought out by the New York Rangers and B) the Sabres may consider bringing him back and C) Tim Connolly may be brought back under the right circumstances and it looks like the same lame offseason crap. Empty promises from management and ownership.
Drury and Connolly are both shot, they have had way too many miles put on their fragile bodies either via injury or in Drury's case just being a small player getting pounded on a nightly basis. Neither of these moves makes sense. Sure there will be fans who want to bring Drury back for nostalgic purposes but that will be the only reason because he isn't the same player he was four years ago. He has had a rough go of it in New York and last year only played 24 games due to injuries. If the Rangers are buying him out, there is something very, very rotten.
Connolly has been shot since his last concussion. He has never become what we hoped he would and offensively we will never see what he could have been. He plays scared of getting hit in the offensive zone and this past year coughed up more pucks than any forward in the league, he is a very good penalty killer I will give him that but thats about it.
Its time to move on with Connolly and we moved on without Drury four years ago. Id rather have Rob Neidermayer another year if you want that veteran guy on your third or fourth line.
If they do sign either Connolly or Drury I have to question the motives of this new ownership, I thought we were going to invest the money to bring in the best free agents and establish a cup contender. If thats the case then go out and go after Brad Richard's, don't go half ass and sign two guys who aren't going to lead you to the regular season much less the playoffs or a Stanley Cup.
