Ann Coulter Must Be Right...
Van Helsing over at Moonbattery has posted a piece about the death of Ann Coulter's father and how all the "open-minded peace-lovers" have posted many nasty things about Ann and especially her dead father (which they did not know personally).
This got me to thinking- the left, who are the ones forever condeming people for hate and having closed-minds, are the most vocal and vitrolic about Ann Coulter.
I frequent many online sites where you can post comments (Slashdot, Digg, Fark,& etcetera) and one thing I can count on is that when Ann Coulter is mentioned, the thread will quickly turn into a hate fest against her. People will go on about how they wished she would be raped, killed and any other nasty situation that they can dream about.
Here's the gist of this whole post: If you read their posts, you will find that the reason that liberals hate her with such intensity is because.... (Drum roll) ANN COULTER HATES!
Yep, people hate Ann Coulter because Ann Coulter hates!
All I can say is that liberals are the biggest hypocrites ever and Ann must be right about a lot of what she says if she pisses off the hypocrites so much.

Are Your Papers In Order Citizen?
From Slashdot:
"CNN is reporting that the US Homeland Security Department has mandated Real ID for drivers licenses. According to the article, this will not include a 'chip', but a list of options by state. Despite legislation passed in various states and objections by groups such as ACLU, this appears to be a done deal."

Kalifornia is at it AGAIN! - Ticket Motorists on Their Own Property
"Meter maids in Escondido, California will soon be ticketing motorists who park on their own property. The city yesterday gave preliminary approval to an ordinance that authorizes both meter maids and police to ticket any vehicle stopped on private property with two wheels touching a surface that is not approved by the city for parking purposes."
"Lawn parking became an issue after the city council announced its intention to ban overnight parking on city streets, leaving some motorists with no place to leave their automobile. The move could generate as much as $200,000 in parking tickets in addition to revenue from parking permits."
"...the city can immediately collect $40 from "around the clock" ticketing efforts."
"The ordinance also makes a third violation a misdemeanor crime"

Oh Look, Genes, NOT Mercury, Seems To Cause Autism...
"The implicated segment of chromosome 16 holds only about 25 genes. When researchers find the biochemical pathway used by the problematic genes in causing autism's symptoms, it will be easier to find other genes involved in what scientists have long recognized to be a dauntingly complex and varied disorder."
"Earlier this week, researchers at the California Department of Public Health reported that the rates of autism in children born from 1989 through 2003 has risen, despite the fact that the preservative thimerosal, which contains toxic mercury, was largely phased out of vaccines during that time. It echoes studies in five other countries, including Canada in 2007, that failed to find a link between the use of vaccines or thimerosal and autism."
IN YOUR FACE MERCURY KOOKS!

Hey Virginia, Scumbag Albo is at it AGAIN!
This is a TRAFFIC LAWYER scumbag who somehow got elected to the Virginia Legislature. Now that he's there, he's been busy writing traffic laws designed to bring himself more business.
WHAT A SCUM BAG!
"Remember the traffic lawyer/legislator who introduced a law imposing a $1050 'abuser fee' on people who drive more than 10 over? He’s at it again."

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated- GOOD RIDDANCE!
All over the news today is the story of Bhutto being assinated. If you read these articles it would seem that this is bad news. It's not, it's actually good news!
Benazir Bhutto was a far left socialist and (as most socialist are) was corrupt as they came. Her fight for democracy was actually a smoke-screen for pushing Pakistan to communism.
She (and her husband) were corrupt as they came. She stole BILLIONS of dollars from Pakistan. She had to flee Pakistan to escape corruption charges. Now, these accusations could be written off as political attacks except that Switzerland acknowledges (and convicted her of) money laundering through Swiss banks AND Poland admits:
"...that Benazir and her husband got $2 million in kickbacks for the purchase of 8,000 tractors in a 1997 deal. These were illegal commissions paid by the tractor company in return for agreeing to their contract."
There's much more evil to this woman than this but you won't see it mentioned in the "BOO HOO" fest that the media outlets are having.
Born Again Redneck has a good post on her.
The world is a better place without her.

Alamo Drafthouse is NOT CHL friendly
Apparently Alamo Draft House in Austin, Texas has decided to make themselves a 'Shoot People at Will' place (aka a gun free zone)-
DVDTracker over at the AR-15 forums posts this:
Took the wife there today to see I am Legend and I saw a 30.06 sign posted on the box office. The wording was correct but it did not appear to be large enough. Regardless, I'm sending them this e-mail later today and will be CCing all their locations.
I've been a fan of Alamo Draft House since moving here a few years ago. The combination of great food, mainstream and off-beat movies makes it my first choice when picking a theater. However, my recent trip to the Lake Creek location made me feel like an unwelcome customer.
As I was purchasing tickets, I saw a Texas Penal Code 30.06 sign on the box office which states, "PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN." I was actually a bit insulted to see this. Getting a concealed handgun license involves fingerprinting, background checks and a mandatory ten-hour training class with a licensed instructor. It's extremely rare for a licensee to ever need to use their handgun. It's also extremely rare to have a licensee convicted of any crime. Police are generally more at-ease if they encounter a licensee during a routine traffic stop. They know that we've done the training, fingerprinting, background checks and have jumped through the hoops to obey the law and we're on their side.
Is disheartening to see such a good business that enjoys the protection of the 1st Amendment by offering a wide variety of movies and entertainment treat those that enjoy the protection of the 2nd as unwelcome customers. If Alamo Draft House truly does not want law-abiding concealed handgun licensees as their customers, then I will take my business elsewhere.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your reply.

UC Irvine: 'Anti-semitism does not constitutes discrimination'
Fark, suprisingly, pretty much sums it up:
UC Irvine concludes that Muslim students destroying Holocaust memorial, defacing campus with swastikas, throwing rocks at Jews, shouting "slaughter the Jews," was directed at Israeli policy and so not racist.

8 Questions About Traffic Tickets That Politicians Never Answer
The police and the courts should be funded from general tax revenue, not from the proceeds of exploited citizens.
Why is it that those in power aren’t asking questions like these:
1. How can the courts be viewed as fair and unbiased when much of their operating income is generated from the fines paid by traffic ticket defendants, isn’t there a fairly obvious conflict of interest here?
2. Where’s the ethical justification for the police to issue hundreds or thousands of tickets to motorists who are driving safely and rationally, but in excess of an arguably dangerous and illegal speed limit?
3. What moral objective is being served by charging ticket recipients more money to prevent “points” being applied to their driving record?
4. What is the logic behind fining a driver $300 for running a red light when a police officer issues a ticket, but only $75 when a camera generates the ticket — is the driver getting a break because it’s a lot cheaper for the camera to take a picture then for the cop to write the ticket?
5. Are we really building a better society by heaping fine upon fine and then suspending licenses because the fines aren’t paid?
6. Does it improve the system’s chances of collecting its fines by taking away the defendants ability to find and hold a job?
7. What police officer wants to be thought of as a bagman for the local government, or have his job dictated by how much money he can raise from motorists?
8. What honest judge wants to work in a court system financially dependent on finding defendants guilty?
The classic image of government-endorsed corruption is the “highwayman” with badge and gun extracting money from a compromised traveler with no hope or relief in sight. In the past these scenes were depicted in the wastelands of Mexico, or in the old “Iron Curtain” countries before the Berlin Wall met its deserved end.

How A Red Light Camera Ticket Can Damage Your Credit Without You Knowing It
Bob needed a score of 700 or higher to get the loan, and had it until ACS, a Dallas based company reported an unpaid collection of $100. “My initial reaction was, ‘What could it be?’” asked Bob. “Who is ACS? I don’t have a single dollar owed to a credit card,” he continued. ACS, Affiliated Computer Services, is the private company the City of Dallas hired to run its red light camera program.
As it turns out, several of the cars used by Bob’s company were in his name. Someone driving one of them got a red light ticket in the spring. He didn’t know about the ticket until the collection showed up on his credit report. He still doesn’t know who was behind the wheel. “Was it an employee that had a ticket in the car that thought they could pay it and didn’t want to tell me about it? I don’t know,” said Bob.
According to Fox 4 News, in the first 11 months of Dallas’s red light camera program, ACS and the city reported 11,073 unpaid citations to credit bureaus.

Why you should not use Wikipedia....
To simply put it: DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA FOR REFERENCE! It is a bias source full of errors.
MORE-
Secret mailing list rocks Wikipedia
"Controversy has erupted among the encyclopedia's core contributors, after a rogue editor revealed that the site's top administrators are using a secret insider mailing list to crackdown on perceived threats to their power."
Wikipedia black helicopters circle Utah's Traverse Mountain
"Despite its popular reputation as a Web 2.0 wonderland, Wikipedia is not a democracy. But the totalitarian attitudes of the site's ruling clique go much further than Jimbo cares to acknowledge.
In early September, the Wikipedia inner circle banned edits from 1,000 homes and one massive online retailer in an attempt to suppress the voice of one man."
MOST ACCURATE LINE: "...using their powers to hijack reality."

A German shepherd to die for protecting owner from an illegal!
"Congo is an 85-pound German Shepherd who attacked a Honduran landscaper [Giovanni Rivera] in Princeton. NJ after the illegal alien, fearing the dog, grabbed the wife and mother of the family to use her as a human shield. She understandably screamed, and Congo, appropriately, attacked. Congo has now been sentenced to death by [Princeton Municipal Court Judge Russell Annich] for the attack, and the illegal alien has received $250,000 in an insurance settlement."
FROM: Tammy Bruce
Guy James, the dog's owner, said he told the landscapers in Spanish to stay in their car until the six dogs, including Congo, were finished eating in the yard, but they didn't. A chaotic scene followed. Elizabeth James went into the yard to try to quell the situation. She said one of the workers hit the dogs with a rake and then Rivera grabbed her.
"This man grabbed me once. I saw Congo jump up. I can't say if he made contact. The second time he grabbed me from behind and we both went down on the grass. He wouldn't let go of my arm and these dogs were going to protect me," said James.
FROM: 6abc.com
Keep in mind that-
1) The dog was provoked.
2) The man grabbed the wife and caused her to scream.
3) The man was IN THE COMISSION OF SEVERAL CRIMES when the incident occured.

Judge Carries Gun In Airport...
...and is let go free with no charges. What would happen if Joe Bleau forgot he was carrying and went into the airport???
Charges will not be filed against a district court judge who was accused of taking a loaded gun to a Detroit Metropolitan Airport checkpoint this summer.
Washtenaw County prosecutors decided not to charge Sylvia James, chief judge of Inkster's 22nd District Court, because investigators couldn't prove she intentionally took the handgun July 28.
"There is insufficient proof to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. James knowingly possessed the handgun," Konrad Siller, first assistant prosecutor in Washtenaw County, wrote in his Nov. 13 memo to the Wayne County Airport Police. He declined Monday to discuss the issue further.

The Metric System is Fsck'd Up Again!
It seems that Le Grand is Le Wrong!
The cylinder of platinum and iridium used as the standard definition of the weight is known as Le Grand K and kept under lock and key in a vault near Paris.
It was the object that scientists regarded as having a defined mass of exactly 1kg.
But it is drifting out of alignment with the copycat cylinders with which it was forged in London in the 1880s.
The drift of 50 parts in a billion, less than the mass of a grain of sugar, was first noted three decades ago and has continued.
But the difference can cause havoc for scientists who require precise definitions.
Yet another reason to not use the metric system!

The Finnish Killings: Don't blame guns - Blame liberalism
Dr Christie Davies hits the nail on the head!
On 7th November 2007 Pekka-Eric Auvinen, an 18-year old schoolboy, went to his school in Jokela, Finland with a .22-calibre handgun and murdered eight people. Christie Davies predicts that the anti-gun lobbies will use these tragic shootings in Finland as part of their irrational crusade against gun ownership. The real causes of Finland's high murder rate are alcohol and liberalism and this particular murderer was a Bolshevik. It has nothing to do with guns.
