Hmmm

Things that make you go hmm.


In Providence, RI school officials at the Pleasant View Elementary School had a “Toy Gun Bash.” That’s right the busy bodies there, not content to have Moochel O and Hucksterbee telling them what kids ought to be eating, have decided it’s in their purview to tell parents what the kids ought to be playing with as well.

So they hauled in some dopey machine that destroys toy guns. YGBSM Lex! No I’m not. The nanny state busy bodies are everywhere trying to control everything. Some enterprising guy ought to be at the other end of this BS passing out Red Rider BB guns to all of the kids who had their blaster removed by their Volvo driving Birkenstock wearing moms and dads.

It’d be hilarious. Some guy in an overcoat at the back door. When Johnny comes he springs into action. “Pssst, hey kid. Need toy heater?” He pulls open the coat to reveal both sides lined with Mattel’s finest.

This also reminds of the futility of such efforts. Growing up, Lex Jr. had enough pistols, swords, maces, rifels and knives to outfit the entire neighborhood. One boy, was not allowed to play with toy guns. OK, unlike Moochelle, I believe parents may know best. The boy played with Frisbee. But if he hit anyone with it he’d make an exploding sound, and the boy he hit would fall to the ground writhing in mock pain.

Later, I saw the boy’s mom. She told me restricting toy guns didn’t work. “Last night at supper, he chewed his bread into the shape of a gun and shot his sister.”

In other odd news, there’s report going around that nuclear facilities may be hiring illegal aliens. Hmm, more work Americans won’t do I suppose. But I’d think that even janitorial work a nuclear facility pays well above the minimum wage. Maybe our nuclear facilities could collect a database of the 99ers and send them job application.

Then there’s the never ending global warming, uh er climate change debate. Europe is covered in snow, the west and northern tier in the US are having the coldest Dec on record and the south has temperatures into the tens. And what is causing all of this frigid mayhem? Global warming of course. You cannot make these people look dumber than they actually are even if they let you write their press releases.

The idiots claim that because the Arctic is warming the cold air has to go somewhere, so we are seeing colder temps in Europe etc. That makes no sense. Are there a certain number of degrees in the world that just get shuffled from place to place? If it is warming in the arctic by two degrees does it have to cool somewhere else by two degrees? How can every weather phenomenon be used to explain global warming?

I do believe in climate. The climate has been changing on this cinder since the first day. It will continue to change until God tires of his experiment and comes to judge.

Why does a do nothing congress and a know nothing president get credit for passing a bunch social engineering legislation in the last week of the session?  Shouldn't this crap all have been done in the light of day with due diligence months ago?
