Ex Cop turned Legislator and Gun Both Loaded in Car

Former Memphis police officer and current Tennessee State Representative Curry Todd, a proponent of legislation to allow “guns in bars” was arrested and charged with drunk driving and illegal possession of a loaded firearm. Todd, a — surprise– Republican has long championed allowing concealed gun permit owners the privilege of going armed in establishments serving adult beverages.

Police stopped Todd, who’s chairman of the legislature’s Firearms Task Force, after they observed him allegedly speeding and swerving Tuesday. Inside his GMC Envoy, Curry reeked of alcohol, police said, adding that they found a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 Special in a holster next to the driver’s seat.

Todd was “almost falling down,” according to a Nashville police affidavit. The 63-year-old Republican legislator was charged with drunken driving and possession of a handgun while under the influence. In the arrest report, police said Todd “was obviously impaired and in no condition to be carrying a loaded handgun.”

So all folks in Tennessee can now know the caliber of  the politicians looking out for their Second Amendment rights. Rep. Todd, a “Concealed Permit” holder, can can hide his loaded sidearm on his person (We’ll leave the jokes to your imagination). He has announced he will resign as head of the Tennessee House State and Local Government Committee, which handles a range of proposals affecting cities and counties, including most alcohol bills. Having Todd in this post is somewhat akin to having a bartender chair an AA meeting.

In a related development, work on the script for Harold and Kumar Meet Hank Williams, Jr. has been suspended, along with Rep. Todd’s driving privileges.

Herman Cain Fulfills End Times Prophecy

GOP Presidential hopeful Michelle”Boom Boom”  Bachmann outed Republican Tea Party flavor-of-the-month Herman Cain as the Antichrist. Or is it the Son of Perdition? No, it’s The Beast! It’s hard to keep all the apocalyptic evangelical prophecy characters straight. Bachmann panned Cain’s catchy-sounding “9-9-9 Plan” as the “Mark of the Beast” upside down:

Polls show that Bachmann and fellow conservative evangelical Rick Perry have been Left Behind.

Free Stuff chain e-mail

One of the blessings of the internet is the ability to rapidly disseminate information to millions of people all over the planet. Thanks to the wonders of chain emails, we know that the President of the United States is a stealth Muslim born in Kenya and sent to Hawaii in a straw basket so that some secret group could groom him to destroy America. Now how a guy with a name like Barack Obama can be “stealth” anything is a bit puzzling. A better “stealth”  idea would be to find a white guy and give him a nice “American name” like Richard Perry. And destroying America would seem to require more competence than the President has displayed so far.

But one of the latest email is “Free Stuff”. The author laments that there are more Americans receiving “free stuff” than there are people paying for it. Well, in America, “Free Stuff” is defined as a government service or payment that somebody else gets. Of course the worst offenders are the immigrants. The best suggestion going around is a ten-foot wall along the southern border. Millions would be saved in construction by hiring undocumented workers so that lazy labor union members won’t be needed.  Then thousands of American workers (non-union, of course) could be put to work making eleven-foot ladders to be exported to Mexico and paid for by drug cartels. Illegals immigrants would then pay $1000.00 to rent ladders to scale the great southern wall. Everybody wins.

This email also notes that the United States became a republic in 1776. Actually, that happened in 1789 when the Constitution was ratified. Hey, who’s counting?

We are then warned that a “nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves”.

The Future of American Government

Proverbs for Sale:

1. An honest politician is like an accountant. You don’t understand half of what he says and you don’t want to hear the half you do understand.

2. ”Safety net” social services are for people that fall, not people that jump.

It seemed like a good idea at the time....

Sponge Bob Makes Your Kid Stupid!

Watching Sponge Bob Square Pants for a mere nine minutes makes little kids stupid, according to researchers at Seattle Children’s Hospital. A study of sixty randomly selected four-year-old crumb-crushers found watching the popular animated cartoon program caused “shortened attention span and learning problems”. The little ones actually weren’t random since they were all Caucasian and from middle and upper income families.  The study compared mental test of children watching Sponge Bob with those watching the slower-paced and incredibly boring Caillou seen on PBS stations.

Pay Close Attention!

Nickelodeon, the purveyors of Sponge Bob and other mind-bending programs pointed out that this program is aimed at older children (ages 6-11) and young adult gay males. Jimmy Neutron did not immediately return calls for comment.

So, the takeaway is:

• Seattle Children’s Hospital must have lots of white four-year-olds with health insurance coverage;
• Watching Sponge Bob shortens attention spans;
• Now we know what happened to Patrick.

 

 

 

Father of the Year… or Not

Divorced guy takes his girlfriend and his two snot-nosed sons (ages 6 and 7) on a tour boat ride. Like most divorced dads, dude has a few adult beverages to loosen up. What’s more American than that? So, the little delinquents act up; girlfriend starts whining. So Sloane Briles does what any guy does when confronted by the unholy trinity of two kids and a lady friend: he tosses one of the munchkins overboard.

“We were having fun; it was a harbor cruise,” he told TV station KTLA, adding that he would “absolutely” do the same thing if he had not been drinking.

Child-tossing Champion

The authorities and the boys’ mother were not impressed with Briles’ parenting skills.  A court date is pending.

H and R Block Founder Says Middle Class Getting Stiffed

 Henry Bloch agrees with Warren Buffet that the “rich” are getting more than their fair share of tax breaks. Kansas City’s Fox affiliate  carried an interview with the registered Republican H & R Block co-founder.

Bloch says the middle class should be furious that the rich pay so little in taxes, hiding money in trusts and with their kids.”You probably pay a higher rate than I do… and yet my income is probably many times what yours is.” Bloch said to FOX 4 Reporter Rob Low.

Second Amendment News of the Week of August 8, 2011

Gawker reports Playboy Playmate Shanna McLaughlin was arrested at Orlando’s airport when TSA’s crack screeners found a .45 Colt handgun in her carry-on bag. She claimed the loaded revolver belonged to her boyfriend and she was unaware he had stashed it in her bag. Ms. July 2010 does have a concealed carry permit, which normally allows one to go packing. But the TSA takes a dim view of firearms on airplanes. She was charged with a misdemeanor and posted a $250 bond and an unflattering mugshot.

Persons with concealed carry permits usually cite self-protection as reasons for going armed. Ms. McLaughlin, being a celebrity, sort of, may have been concerned about stalkers. Or, she may have really needed that window seat.

Ironically, Ms. July was the winner of the Playboy Channel’s Shootout contest. “Shooting” in that show referred to shooting photographs, not people.  Actually the photographer “shot” Ms. July as if anybody cared.

Tea Party Reps. Burn Down the House

House leader John Boehner worked hard at getting votes for his bill.

Well, not literally, but the hardliners’ “scorched earth” approach to the negotiations did bring to mind some classic 1950′s horror flicks. Those usually ended with some mansion going up in flames, too.

FoxBabeNews Uncovers Liberal Agenda !!!!

The crack investigative reporters at Fox have worked tirelessly and sacrificially to expose the hypocrisy of the liberal demonic forces in America. They are the neurological system of the commentary force of Mr. O’Reilly, Ms. Coulter, Sir Hannity, Herr Beck and the Thrilla from Wasilla.   Let us take this moment to thank these people for alerting us to the dangers of Liberalism, socialism and Islamism.
