Absence Of Moss Or Brains

They are:

1. Pistols

2. Revolvers

3. Rifles

4. Shotguns

5. Derringers

I've barely begun to read the comments.  If I were a betting man I would lay a bet on long it be before the article is removed out of embarrassment.

Assuming of course the folks at the Rolling Stone are capable of such.

A Problem I Have

Some people do not understand that Leslie is a gender neutral name.  This has led to no small amount of annoyance with people who expect to interact with a woman.  For example, I had an appointment to see an optometrist last week.  The woman who called to confirm the appointment heard a male voice and did not understand that she was actually speaking to the correct person.  She also came across as being dumb in general.

The appointment itself was another CF altogether.  I waited thirty one minutes after the specified time of the visit before I walked out without being seen by the optometrist.  This is inexcusable.

And given the fact that I have a gender neutral name I have decided to skip the bachelor party altogether.

And remember, it's down the block, not across the street.

Public Education Today

Thirty four years ago I promised myself that I would never send my own children through a public school system. I've kept that promise.

In Pennsylvania a Jewish father who questioned the political balance of an assignment given to his daughter is accused of being a Neo-Nazi.

When the leftists were screaming that authority must be questioned they were directing their screeches at real authority based on real knowledge. If anyone is behaving like an old school National Socialist it's the teacher and teacher's union president. And both of those idiots will be perfectly free to scream their falsehoods in the private sector. Yes, they should both be fired.

Better yet, let's separate education from government.

And then there's a primary school principal in Georgia who not only needs to be fired, but also needs to be horsewhipped.

But that's my opinion.

In Other News

John McCain, the chef d'merde from Arizona is giving consideration (obviously not actual thought) to standing for reelection to the senate in 2016. He would be 80 years old.

I have a suggestion Mr. McCain, drop dead already.

Friday Morning

The basic problem with the "know it all" mentality is the belief that they really do know everything. Thus any new information that contradicts their existing belief structure is often dismissed as being false.

The real results in the real world are a series of disasters that are too numerous to list.
