Self Defense, Self Respect, and Self Sufficiency
Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
NY Times is reporting that within the past year, 15 states (mostly states where gun racks are not unusual) have enacted legislation to expand the scope of the right to use deadly self-defense. Generally speaking, the right to use deadly self-defense has been pretty limited, arising in instances in which the defender in question feared for his safety, and when it was reasonably proportionate. Additionally, the right to use deadly self defense wasn't typically triggered until after you tried to retreat from the theat, again, when reasonable. But now states like Florida, god bless 'em, have had it with these cumbersome restrictions on the right to retaliate with cross-fire to defend property. So the next time you are in Florida and someone just ups and uses your beach chair while you are in the water, upon returning to your spot and finding said fellow beachgoer using your property you can shoot to kill to get that chair back rather than take that extra step and first ask for it back.

Back and better than ever on VH1. I don't know where they find these girls. Probably Rehab actually. Caught it last night and basically, it's a train wreck. Try this on for size: "Girl, you better quit inta-ruptin' my prayers before God directs me to whoop yo ass".
Just when you thought gas couldnt get any more expensive
BP had to close down one of the US's major oil pipelines in Alaska this weekend due to corrosion (i.e., wear and tear). You would think they would have enough revenue to maintain and repair their equipment before the problem escalates into requiring a comprehensive shut down... The suspension of this one pipeline reduces the US's daily crude oil output by 8%, or approximately half of Alaska's oil output. Timely!
