There are some things in this life I find it easy to believe.....

There are some things in this life I find very easy to believe, like the sky is blue because of light reflected off the water from the ocean, that cats like to eat fish, that my car when it does not get enough oil will not drive as well as it could or that Nixon liked to count Jews at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It is not even hard to believe that Mick Huckabee said of Jesus that, "HE CAME TO ME IN A VISION AT THE HOAGIE HUT, AND SAID THAT IF HE HAD, LOOKED LIKE ME, HE COULDN'T HAVE FIT ON THE CROSS, AND THERE NEVER, WOULDA' BEEN CHRISTIANITY." Even though this is clearly satire.

Or that the God Elohim is living on another planet and wants me to become a god and populate the solar system like Joe Smith said he would.

There are some things I find harder to believe, like that George W. Bush enjoyed blowing up frogs with firecrackers as a young boy.

Which, if true, it only confirms every long suspected fear of every self-respecting but misguided liberal. And more than that, confirms that the conservative "there is no King greater than Jesus" jihadi rage is a real phenomena.

The point here is I do not really care what you believe as long as you do not take it out on me or on the Constitution. Which, I am guessing after all the rest of this, is well worth a read.

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
