Stupid is supposed to hurt


Ah, those whacky Massholes. If you've ever wondered who keeps voting to elect multiple Kennedys, John Kerry, Barney Frank and Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren to high office in that state, I think you need to look no farther than this fugitive from a Darwin Award:

Salem, Massachusetts, Woman Falls 2 Stories Into Trash Compactor


A woman fell three stories into a trash compactor while trying to help a teenager retrieve his keys, according to police and local media.

The 38-year-old woman was paid $20 to assist after the keys fell down the apartment block's garbage chute in Salem, Massachusetts, police Lt. Brian Gillian told NBC News on Wednesday.

“"She was obviously in pain"”

The teen initially attempted to lower the woman down the chute from the third floor by holding onto her feet, Gillian said.

When this didn't work, the 19-year-old tied a sheet round the woman's legs and tried again. However, the sheet ripped and the woman plummeted down the chute into the trash compactor, Gillian added.

"When she fell into the trash compactor it activated," he said. "She suffered a serious leg injury. It was badly twisted and clearly broken."
...



In the South, they at least say "Here. Hold muh beer and watch this!" before doing something that dumb.

In Massachusetts though, they just quietly agree to be lowered headfirst into a trash compactor on a bed sheet "rope" for twenty dollars like it's something you do every day.

Yet another reason for not letting ANYONE from that state cast a ballot that can actually affect the rest of the country.

No wonder those people demand "free" health care so loudly.

On taxes and Liberals and taxing liberals.

On another blog's comment section this past couple of days, (blog name withheld because I like that blog and don't wish to incite a flame war there) I've found myself challenged by a few people who seem to truly believe that, in order for us to be "civilized", we who work must tax ourselves until we bleed white to provide all sorts of benefits for the lowest members of our society, typically those who choose not to work. And if that's not reason enough, well then we have to give those Democrat voters deadbeats more free stuff just because somewhere in America, some corporation that produces good or provides services while creating jobs might have gotten a break and had to pay a bit less in taxes, and of course we'll not mention the fact that corporate taxes in America are already way higher than in any other developed country in the world.

(And this, ladies ad gentlemen, is why so many of them relocate their plants to other countries. That and the double whammy of blood-sucking unions and environmental whack-jobs that make production or virtually anything here both inefficient and extremely costly.)

Suddenly I had an idea...an epiphany, if you will. Henceforth, spending decisions on all entitlement programs, both new ones and increases in spending on current ones, will be taken away from Congress completely and placed on the ballot. The citizens will get to decide from now on if we pay for Obamaphones or EBT cards or public housing or grants to colleges. Anything that does not provide a benefit to every single American--like the military or a border fence along the US/Mexican border--gets approved at the voting booth.

And the next catch is--and this is the part that I really like--is that no one can vote on these tax bills unless they actually pay taxes. That's right--they need to show W2s or other indication that they pay the applicable federal or state taxes, depending on which entity the program is seeking money from. This means, for example, that people who want free Obamaphones but do not work cannot bum-rush the polls and vote themselves these free phones.

Finally--and here's the best part--everyone who votes in favor of one of these new taxes to fund some entitlement program also agrees that only they and the other people who voted in favor (or who did not show up to vote) will be the ones assessed the new taxes. That way, the burden falls 100% onto the people who want the program (or didn't bother to turn out). In other words, you can vote to raise your own taxes to fund National Public radio or give a grant to some pornographic "artists" but you cannot make me or anyone else who objected pay for it--it's all on you who wanted such things, with direct-withdrawals from your own bank account.

I say that we try this for a few years and see just how many liberals are wiling to put their money where their mouths are and write the checks that they currently demand that the rest of us back.

And if you want an indicator of how liberals really feel about actually paying for the things that they support, keep in mind that Massachusetts has a program where the rich can voluntarily elect to pay a higher tax rate (5.85% instead of the minimum 5.3%) in order to pay for social amenities for others.

Millionaire and "champion of the poor" Elizabeth Warren refuses to volunteer to pay the higher tax.

John Kerry refused to pay the higher tax as well. And he got busted keeping his new yacht in neighboring Rhode Island to avoid paying taxes to MA on that as well.

In fact, Massachusetts, a massively liberal state, has three million tax filers at last count but only 934 of them volunteered to pay the higher tax to fund the bigger government that most of them presumably want.

I won't even bother mentioning liberal icon Al Sharpton's tax issues.

So yeah, that's my plan. Make the people who want more social spending step up and accept the entire cost of these programs. And then when the welfare crowd sees their cable TV go off and notices that their EBT card didn't recharge on the first of the month, they can direct their anger solely at the people who claimed to support these things right up until they were asked to foot the bills.

Massachusetts Man Wets Pants Over Found Gun

And you wonder why this one state consistently elects nutless girlymen like John Kerry, Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy to office. Well if Alberto Pina of Roxbury is representative of the citizenry there, then it's crystal clear: It's because they're all nutless losers.

Read this story: Fisherman reels in a handgun

Simply put, a guy goes fishing. His hook snags a handgun out of the water. The pistol is clearly non-funtional due to marine growth but still, it's a handgun.
“I reeled in a gun,” Pina said, still hyperventilating as he described his catch more than an hour later. “To pull something like that out of the water is extremely dangerous. I didn’t want my son to see something like that, but he did. Horrible,” Pina said. “When I pulled it up, I dropped it over at the pier. I didn’t dare to touch it.”
So what does Mr. Massachusetts Metrosexual do? Well by his own words, he hyperventilates. He panics. He laments the fact that his son might have seen it. And then he calls a press conference.

He also called the police, but not before going on Facebook and Twitter to figure out what he should do, per his own blog article on the find.
I pulled my rod upward with all my strength to hook the “fish” and then reeled it in with a big smile on my big face. When I pulled it up, it was this weird shaped object. I couldn't recognize at the first sight but then as I brought it closer, I realized I had just caught a gun. Surprised! Confused! Upset! I was trying to figure out how to deal with new catch. After a Facebook posting and Twitter update, I decided to notify the Boston Police.
Now had I found such a thing, I'd have been calm and even happy, and it'd be undergoing restoration and repair as we speak. But one thing that you would not see was me hyperventilating and wringing my hands like some effeminate Nancy-boy and bemoaning the state of the world. And I'm offended that he's allowed to vote and that his vote counts as much as mine does. This guy makes me feel sad for America and for men in general.

But at least now I know why Massachusetts elects the losers that they do. Get ready for Senator Warren, everybody.

Oh, and Alberto? Grow a pair, guy. If you come unglued when you merely see a firearm, I hate to think what you do when you break a nail or get a run in your stocking.

USS Constitution prevails over commie condo crowd.


"Old Ironsides", otherwise known as the USS Constitution, is our nation's oldest warship. Launched in 1797, she's retained her commission as an active United States warship ever since. In her long history, this ship has fought and defeated Barbary Pirates, the British and the Confederates. And 2010 will forever be remembered as the year that the Constitution whupped the damned Yuppies.




You see, the Constitution has maintained a tradition going back over 200 years, that being that twice daily, she fires a gun and plays the national anthem. I've heard it and it's a wonderful way to begin and/or close out one's day. Every American has a reason to feel proud when they hear that anthem and look upon the Stars and Stripes flying from Old Ironsides' jackstaff.



Unfortunately, this longstanding patriotic tradition--one that dates back to 1798--is now under attack by a handful of unpatriotic assholes who have recently moved into condominiums which were built not too long ago near Old Ironsides' berth at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston Harbor. These whiners--each of whom moved into the neighborhood knowing that the Constitution was already there--have tried to silence these ceremonies, objecting to the cannon fire and in particular to hearing the national anthem every day. They recently sent a letter to Commander Timothy Cooper, the ship's current Commander, asking him to stop playing the anthem and use less powder in the guns or cease firing them altogether.

I'm proud to say though that Commander Cooper stuck to his guns, literally and figuratively, and refused. The guns shall continue to fire and the anthem will play on.As for the jackalopes in the condos...well they can just up and move if they don't like it, preferably to another country. I'm willing to bet that they're all Obama-voting liberals anyway as any real American would feel honored to live in the shadow of that wonderful ship and no patriotic citizen ever tires of our nation's anthem.


Suck on this, you zipperheads!

Heh, heh, heh...

Just too funny not to pass along.

Just three words

After Scott Brown's absolute trouncing of Democrat Martha Coakley last night in the race for the Massachusetts Senate seat formerly held by Ted "the submariner" Kennedy, I have just three words for Barack Obama, for Ed Schultz, for Nancy Pelosi, for Harry Reid, and for the union members who were counting on Coakley to shore up the Dems' attempt to run this country on a totally partisan platform with no regard whatsoever for the desires and beliefs of the half of America who has a different vision:

NEENER!
NEENER!
NEENER!


I would have made it four words but I didn't want it to look as if I were gloating.

America, you've been given one more chance. Don't blow it.

America wins, Obama and progressives lose in Mass.

Martha Coakley concedes early as the voters in Mass. elect the first Republican Senator in nearly 40 years. Scott Brown goes to the Senate, denying Obama his 60-seat filibuster-proof majority. Rumor has it that several leading progressives have committed suicide...and no one seems to mind.

Sometimes things happen that reaffirm your faith in America. This election stands as one of them. God Bless the United States.

Massachusetts senate race close...And voting fraud already being discovered

As usual, since it appears that the far left "progressives" might not be able to win honestly, they're doing what Ed Schultz suggested and cheating. Michelle Malkin, Michael Graham and others watching are circulating a video of a known democrat activist named Isabel Martinez handing out blank absentee ballots and instructing people to mark off Democrat Martha Coakley's name. Other shenanigans are reportedly going on as well, all aimed at defeating Republican Scott Brown and helping Coakley win. Do we really need another fraudulently-elected senator in Washington? Isn't Al Franken enough?

We'll see what we'll see when the polls close. And of course the Dems are already talking about slowing the official count down to keep Brown from taking the seat if it appears that he won.

Be ashamed, Dems... Be ashamed.

Oh--and MSNBC's Ed Schultz is now saying that not only is he not sorry that he advocated voter fraud in this race, but he'd actually cheat twice as much and vote twenty times if he could...and of course he calls anyone who disagrees with him more nasty names. How can any of you Democrats let this guy stand next to you and claim to be one of you? Surely there must be at least one of you who has some honor?

Anyone?
Bueller?
Anyone?

Why Scott Brown needs to win in Massachusetts tomorrow.

Reason #632... Because those who are the most opposed to him are the worst sort of hateful scumbags.

And as exhibit #1, I give you left-wing hate-monger Ed Schultz of MSNBC, who declares that he'd subvert democracy and cheat if he thought it would keep Brown from being elected...and urges his listeners (all three or four dozen of them) to give it a try.


Radio Equalizer's Brian Maloney captured MSNBC's Ed Schultz making a startling remark on his radio show yesterday about supporting voter fraud in Massachusetts, so Scott Brown would lose. The audio is below along with the transcript.



SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are.

I'm waiting for some Democrat to denounce Ed Schultz, but I suspect that I'll be waiting a long, long time.

Scott Brown needs to win tomorrow if for no other reason than because this is the face of the opposition--the liberal elitists who despise Democracy if it means that they don't get their way.

Go Scott, Go!

Another jackass ruins things for decent gun owners

Look at this beautiful Maxim gun, and that wonderful mortar. (I so need a mortar...)




These wonderful historic firearms--and several others--are now slated for destruction because they wound up in the hands of a slimy drug-dealing loser in Massachusetts named David Plonowski. Per the Tonawanda News, Plonowski was dealing drugs out of his house and the family funeral home. When police raided both places, they found a massive collection containing "50 to 100 firearms", including a live grenade, an Uzi and three small machine guns.

Now it's no secret that I love guns, especially historic ones, but I've never supported the right of a criminal to have one, much less a batch of them. This is one of the things that separates me from the internet warriors and keyboard commandos who sympathize with any criminal who likes guns--scum like Plonowski--while hating and fearing the government and law enforcement and pretending that this somehow makes them patriotic. I think that decent law-abiding people should have lots of guns, and criminal caught with them should be thrown under the jail, not just in it. And people like Plonowski are just the sort of loser that I'm talking about. Now because of his bad conduct, anti-gun legislators and advocates for a disarmed America will be pointing to him and claiming that they need to restrict the rest of us because of that guy, as if he's somehow representative of law-abiding, gun-owning citizens. This is the very stuff that new, more restrictive gun laws stem from--laws that hurt you and me but which never stop the Plonowskis of this world. And as collateral damage, now all those nice historic guns which should be in a good gun owner's collection or in a museum more than likely will end up in a local foundry's smelter. And that's a crime in itself.

In a perfect world they'd jail Plonowski until the second coming but spare the Maxim gun. However Massachusetts is far from perfect by any standard and my fear is that we'll see Kennedys and Kerry and Frank (oh my) showing off these guns and using them to try to justify more gun control, especially if their side gets control of the White House in '08.

Very sad.
