Myth #1: Assault Weapons

Alright, we’re gearing up for an election year. You’re likely to hear alot of things about guns. If you’re not a shooter and/or a politician, you’re going to hear a great deal of heated rhetoric, and it’ll present a very contradictory picture.

You’ll hear that guns cause ordinary people to turn into raving savages, you’ll be told that hundreds of children die every day, and most of all, you’ll be told that it’s for your own good to have them taken away from you.

Question what you hear.

A question for Rosie (updated)

From Rosie O’Donnell’s blog. This is her (adopted) daughter, draped in a belt of what looks to be NATO .308. The same publicity-chasing elitist who wants to take guns away from everyone but her own bodyguards.

Tell us, Rosie: how did YOU get that ammo? After all, it’s very commonly used in assault rifles, and according to the never-ending stream of inaccurate, poorly informed, and often outright falsified self-righteous drivel you spout, assault rifles are killing hundreds of police officers and children a day.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming

New site theme up, and a few fixes to the CSS so that IE6/7 wouldn’t render fonts so small.

It’s a bit easier now that I can run Explorer without having to reboot. Turns out it doesn’t do so well at rendering em units for text. I also added a smarmy link to prove that the CSS on this site validates, and that the fault lies squarely with Explorer.

Now, if anyone can explain how to remove the extra scrollbar that IE adds on the right, let me know.
