Penn Jillette Righteousness (and Delaware Libertarian's 3000th Post!)

This is a must watch dose of hard truth from Penn Jillette about our self-admitted formerly cannabis-smoking, "blow"-snorting President who chuckles away merrily about his violent, destructive war on people, over some arbitrarily government-unblessed substances.

Had "Black Jesus", as David Axelrod privately calls Obama, been on the receiving end of his own treatment, as are millions of otherwise peaceful, peaceable Americans - 100's of 1000's of whom are rotting in prisons this minute everywhere in this country (if not being ground up and ground down somewhere within the narco-enforcement police-prosecution-prison industry), his career and his life would have been senselessly ruined for no reason other than to justify the self-serving cowardice and willful ignorance of soulless politicians...like he is now.

Oh yeah, sure, Obama's cool.  Like a warm bucket of piss.



JILLETTE: "What troubles me about this... I think it's beyond hypocrisy. I think it's something to do with class. A lot of people have accused Obama of class warfare, but in the wrong direction. I believe this is Obama chortling with Jimmy Fallon about lower class people. Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana -- under the laws that he condones -- would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his 'weed' and 'a little blow,' he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it's not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up."

Thanks pandora! You're my favorite lady blogger in the whole world and the tops all around, period. It means a lot to hear from you, always.

Aw shucks! Thanks, Tyler.

P.S. 3000 posts is probably nothing for you guys over at DELiberal. But it is incredible when you consider it was seriously the power-blogging of pretty much one guy over maybe 3 or 4 years actual blogging time. I couldn't possibly keep up with him, even just trying to ingest and absorb the prolific results of his massive brain power.
Weclome back, oh prodigal brother.

I'm killing the fatted conservative Republican for dinner right now.

I hope this is the restart of the original "fusion" between us.

GREAT to see Tyler back in the house! Hope you're doing well, bro!

Welcome Back Tyler!

And in case anyone's actually counting, it was 2.5 years of actual blogging w/ a 1.5 year break in the middle.

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?
