Derrick, I love you dearly (and platonically), but I surely hope you <i>meant</i> this to read like a breathless newshead.

If you're an abortion doctor, it might not be a bad idea.

This is really late, and I actually saw your comment hours ago, but I'm now drunk enough to take the time to remark that this particular bit of Scripture is quite high on my list of "Why Yahweh is a fucking asshole".

Goodness. I completely missed that in real time. I wonder what Sanford is chucking at his pampas bimbo.

You had to say that, didn't you.

Okay, but I want the bees to have charged particle beam generators on their heads (thoraxes?).

Transcendentally off topic Dok, but does teh Wonk accrue bitcoins if we click on the stupid Newsmax linkies? Because a fair fraction of them appear to be health-magic shit that I can actually view without having an aneurysm, so I'd be happy to throw a few pence at you.

Further to that, do they distinguish unique eyeballs, do you know? Because I, or a short Python program, are just curious that way.

As it happens, I do support the right to own guns. And I am totally in support of prohibiting extended magazines for both rifles and handguns, for prohibiting hollow-point and teflon-tipped bullets, and for prohibiting assault rifles (and I know that there is a bunch of fog about "what is an assault rifle?", but it's really pretty simple -- an auto or semi-auto rifle whose ammo has been optimized for killing human beings).

Also, too, I have nothing against responsible gun ownership -- responsible gun owners do not own assault rifles or extended magazines or cop-killer ammo, because they have no need for these things. Responsible gun owners don't have more than, say, a half dozen firearms, although I might make an exception for a legitimate collector of classics.

So, call me politically correct. I'm used to that. And, FWIW, I agree with you that no one <i>needs</i> a fucking gun.

Also, no one <i>needs</i> a fucking car, or a fucking boat, or a fucking cell phone, or a fucking computer, or a fucking teevee, or a fucking composite bow, or a fucking golf course, or a fucking tavern, or any of a large number of fucking other intermediaries we regularly use to deal with the world. Some of these things are capable of causing bad effects on the world. So we regulate them.

Oh, I forgot churches.

Tanks. We need tanks. And F-22s.

Also, I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones.

I wouldn't recommend peeking down that barrel just yet. But yeah, a lot like that.

Never saw the guy in action, but that doesn't sound like a compliment ;)

Who was the inventor of that Super Gun who was killed (I believe in Sweden)?

Somebody didn't want someone to have one of those...
