But Her Emails!

For everyone who thought Hillary Clinton should have been severely punished for using a private email server while serving on the Obama Cabinet, allow me to counter with this colossal cluseterfuck…

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

Enjoy.

Get the Damn Vaccine

I mentioned my mother’s ears are blocked. That means she has the volume on the television cranked. It is literally as far away from me as it can be while both of us are still in the house and it sounds like it’s scotch taped to my head.

She’s watching the morning news. They are interviewing people who are not taking the Covid-19 vaccine because reasons. All of the reasons are false and total bullshit, but reasons.

You cannot exist in the year 2021 and be so stupid that you choose to not take this vaccine. You simply cannot be that stupid.

Take the fucking vaccine.

Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) is an Idiot – May 7, 2017 Edition

This one isn’t as bad as yesterday’s fascist collaborator moron in Congress video, but it’s got me just as pissed off.  Give it a view, it’s a quickie.

Congressman, how do you know that this bill isn’t going to destroy the lives of millions of people seeing as there was no analysis done on it by any economic or medical groups at all and there is zero evidence to show that anything it says will even come close to doing anything it’s supposed to?

“I know.”

I know things too, you fucking piece of dog shit.  I know you just raped millions of constituents in order to line the pockets of the super rich.  Hey congressman from Florida, how many of your voters are on medicaid?  You know medicaid, that thing you just gutted?  Who bought you, congressman?  Who bought your vote?  Which fascists do you answer to now?

Enjoy your stay in the US House of Representatives.  It will come to an abrupt end in just under two years.

Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) is an Unimaginable Schmuck – May 6, 2017 Edition

Watch this.  Beware though, you are about to see a demonstration of utter stupidity that cannot be fathomed.  Watch it anyway.

 

During a town hall meeting one of his constituents happened to mention that people will die without health insurance.  He responded by saying that no one dies from not having access to healthcare.

This friggin’ schmuck actually said that.  You alt-right fascist apologists can’t call this one fake news because it’s right there on video.  I heard it with my own ears.  This guy said the single dumbest thing I have ever heard a politician utter.  No one dies from not having access to healthcare.

Tell me, Congressman Labrador, you insulting piece of shit, what would happen to my step son if he didn’t have access to healthcare?  He’s a type one diabetic and needs insulin to live.  What would happen to him?

Tell me, Congressman Labrador, you mental midget, what would have happened to my mother if, when she developed a brain tumor, she had not had access to the healthcare that saved her life?  Tell me, you fucking tool.  Tell me what would have happened to her.

Voters in Idaho.  Come the mid-term election, you know what to do.  Kick this despicable schmuck out of office.  Send his moron ass packing.  We’re counting on you.

Idiot

I mean… how stupid do you have to be?

An 18 year old high school student from Methuen was arrested yesterday for making “terroristic” threats on his facebook page.  He did things like mention killing a lot of people, and outdoing the marathon bombers.  Here’s a story from the Eagle Tribune.

I mean… just… ummm… really?  I ask again, how stupid can you be?  I mean… you know… doing this at any time since 9/11 would be the absolute pinicle of stupidity, but to do it now… half an hour from Boston… today… just two weeks or so after two doucehcanoes set off bombs at the Boston Marathon… and to mention outdoing said douchecanoes?  I mean… I mean… Can a human be more idiotic than that?  Is it physically possible to do anything more stupid than that?  I don’t think so.  I think this is the single dumbest crime ever commited in the United States of America, if not the world.  This 18 year old high school kid now sits in prison with a $1,000,000 bail and he faces 20 years in jail.  TWENTY FREAKING YEARS!!!  How did this kid not see this coming?  He put the damn post onto Facebook for Christs sake!  How can a member of the human race be that stupid?  I mean… what the hell, kid??

Another NHL Lockout Post

tick tock, tick tock.

The clock is ticking.  One week to go until the league’s deadline to cancel the season.  One week to go until the unthinkable happens… again… and the league cancels the whole entire season.  One week.

And the two sides didn’t meet face to face yesterday.  Are you kidding?

So here are two of the remaining sticking points.

Ready?

The league wants next season’s salary cap to be 60 million dollars.  The players want next season’s salary cap to be 65 million dollars.

Both sides have agreed that term length of the new collective bargaining agreement (assuming they ever actually agree to one) should be ten years.  The players want an option to back out after seven years.  The league wants an option to back out after eight years.

There’s also an issue dealing with player pensions that seems like it might be a legitimate problem, but is still something that a little give and take should be able to resolve in a short time.  Still though… they are hung up on seven years vs eight years, and 60 million vs 65 million.  Really.  Both sides are saying that publicly.  Honestly, they are.  Both sides are so incredibly stupid that they are risking the cancellation of ANOTHER NHL season over these issues.

My god people, how much of a collective group of assholes can you be?  For the salary cap?  How about 62.5 million.  Problem solved!  As for the term length, I have a more complicated solution.  Take a coin, right?  Flip it.  Heads means the opt out is seven years.  Tails means the opt out is eight years.  Problem solved!

They have had a Federal mediator at all of the recent talks.  I swear that poor son of a bitch must be ready to just start punching these idiots.  Meet with the players and punch Donald Fehr in his World Series canceling head.  Meet with the players and punch Gary Bettman in his season canceling head.  BOOM!  Problems solved!  Drop the damn puck!

A Modest Proposal: We Need to Tax Ammunition

A Modest Proposal

How much does a bullet cost?

I Googled “buy ammunition” and this site was the top hit returned.

Just a quick glance shows prices like, 1000 rounds for $225.00, or $0.225 per round.  880 rounds for $165.00, or $0.1875 per round.  My favorite headline on the site was 500 hollow point rounds for $285.00, or 57 cents a piece.

So let’s just say that bullets are not expensive.  Cheap, even.

Now let’s calculate how much the life of a human being is worth.  Incalculable?  How much is the life of a six year old child worth?  How much is the life of a school teacher in Connecticut worth?  How much are the lives of a class room full of elementary school kids worth?

I have no idea.  No one does.  Priceless?  That sounds right to me.  More than half a buck?  Duh, absolutely.  Obviously.  It’s insulting to even consider that.

So how is a bullet that exists for no reason other than to end a life worth less than a buck?  Worth less than a quarter?  How is that a fair trade?  We should change our system so that the value of a bullet is the same as the value of the life the bullet ends.  I would even be willing to sell the bullets at a massive discount.  How about we take that $0.57 hollow point bullet and add a tax to it.  I say we tax it at about 20 million percent.

0.57 * 20,000,000% = 0.57 * 200,000 = $114,000.

Compare $114,000 to the value of a human life and you are still getting that hollow point bullet at an obscene discount.  What a savings!  The 2nd amendment still applies.  You still have the right to bear arms.  You still have the right to be a gun owner whose chosen home security device is statistically more likely to end the life of either you or a member of your family, but now the price for your weapon’s ammunition more closely (but still not that close) equals the value of that which it was created to destroy.

It sounds like a fair plan to me.  Actually, it doesn’t, but it sounds more fair than the current system.
