Another version of this ad has a disclaimer that this bedside gun rack is not intended for use in homes with children "or mentally impaired individuals." But who else is gonna pay $39.00 to ensure their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to shoot themselves in the leg when they get up to pee? And yeah, the phone number on the ad is no longer in service.

I wonder if whoever cooked up that idea realizes that children in grape towns (mainly this one, but Delano is the table grape capital of the world, after all) toss the pre-wrinklified grapes at each other during Harvest season? There's not much for children to do here, and not every child has a video game console of their own. I didn't, although instead of throwing grapes, I chose to read, and read some more.

...but I grew up in Delano, and can't remember the last time I saw it mentioned on C&L!!
for years. :) They did it when I was small, and they're still doing it now that I'm old enough to be this batch of kids' mother. ;)
I was talking about Delano, California. :) If that's your Delano, awesome! If you're talking about another Delano, still pretty cool! :)

Joey and Mimis are middle-aged sisters, and Callie is the young mom of Gomez and Lily (her kittens). :)

Mine's full name is "Lil' ET." She's named after a race horse. And aliens, as that's what she looked like when we found her in a plastic bag with her head sticking out of it on a 90 degree day in September. A wino was holding the bag. He was trying to save her, but she was feral and didn't take kindly to his efforts. I was holding her on my chest as I drove her to the vet's before I took her home, and I was wearing sunglasses. She kept staring at me very intently. At a red light, I took the glasses off and she looked relieved. She probably thought I was an alien with big black eyes. She's 17 now. The fastest cat I ever met. She's calico and mostly white. Greased lightning Miss Lily is.
mostly black and brown calico, but she herself is more of a light grey tabby.
Oh, and my Lily is named after Lily Munster. She and Gomez were born a bit before Halloween.

Rule #1 regarding living with cats: Never try to comb them when you're in a bad mood.
Never try to comb them when THEY'RE in a bad mood...
:)
me-oww!
a pussy that could be combed when she was in a bad mood.
.
rough, they'll sort you right out. Here's rule #2: When you pet them, look at them. I keep telling one of my friends this, and he gets talking and kind of mechanically continues to pet them while he's involved in a conversation with me. The cats don't like that and they nip him. They don't break the skin, but it never fails to make him jump. It's pretty funny.
Fuck the Democratic Party!!! The rest of the joke that is called healthcare reform was bad enough but this makes me hate the Democrats almost as much as I hate the Cons!!! I've unsubcribed from every Democratic group I've ever been affilitaed with and told them exactly why. Fuck 'em!! I'm so done with them.
physically ill. So disgusting.

FUCK 'EM ALL!!!!!!!!
Some stuff you can't make up!
I think i'll check that link out... but i hate to...
it's good that you told them why. if i was you i would tell them why again. In fact i may get the gumption up to tell them something myself.

The Bedside Gun Rack – what a perfect Christmas gift. No wonder customers are buying one for each side of the bed! I’ll take THREE!
Of course I’ll then need the optional Pillow-Case Pistol Holster, the Shower-Howitzer Holder, the Kitchen Sink Zip-Gun Zipper, the Sofa-Shotgun Canister, the Patio Rifle Protector, and the ever important Washer/Dryer Ammo Cache.
Ohhhh I’ll feel so safe…

what kind of person needs to sleep with a shotgun within reach?
law enforcement should put these folks on a watch list. either they're paranoid, involved in illegal activity, or have some good reason why someone would break into their bedroom at any moment.
sure, order one for each side. great idea.
I'd say this lady to start.

Listen to the 911 call, she was begging the police to hurry for 10 minutes before the guy finally broke in and she was forced to shoot him.
And I'd say this lady definitely should of had one also.

and I fret about remembering to bring my bottle of water when I go to bed...I had no idea I should be worried about shooting someone!!! Oh wait...I live in Canada, whew, no faux fear here.
Love the comment about buying three!! ;)
cats at night (they climb on top of me to get to my closet), or that they'll get into a fight right there in the bed with me. With my luck, if I had a gun rack, they'd do exactly that and the gun(s) would go off.

Gore thinks the ice caps'll actually be gone sooner, in 5-7 years now. Reid, Reid, Reid, you've already let us down a long time ago. CT scans might lead to cancer risks. Bush is so stupid, he can't even destroy his hidden e-mails. Fortunately, Obama is smart enough to do that for him. Some conditions may apply to free cancer screenings, especially if you're poor. It's hard out there for a female vet. I know you didn't want to help the bankers, Barry, but you're doing it, anyway. Cali Repugs play the gender card against Boxer. Michigan's river is chock full of dioxins. SCOTUS tackles texting on the job. It also just protected Ronald McRummy from torture liability. U.N.-backed troops in the Congo have shitty aiming. Baucus' ex was coincidentally a defender of Anita Hill. Thanks to Dumbya, Africans didn't get the help they needed for birth control. A lot of students default on pyramid scheme[i.e. college] loans; and their job prospects out of college suck, too. It's hard out there for a rehabilitated con. The death of the Himalayas is directly tied to emissions.

Here's a link to a story in my old town's local newspaper. It's a story about Rep. JoAnn Emerson from my old district back in the State of Misery. It's a big fluff piece about Emerson bragging about all the money the district is getting, money that she requested, but voted against. As I read this garbage I recalled other Republicans that were doing that, I looked up who voted for and against that particular bill and sure enough, Ms. Emerson voted against it. I posted a comment, but it hasn't shown up yet and I doubt it gets thru the censors there. They protect their own in that neck of the woods. I've been trying for years to get people to see what this woman really is to no avail. Her last name isn't even Emerson anymore really, she's remarried. She used to be married to a guy who represented the area for years, he is long since dead. She rode in on his coattails and is still milking it for all it's worth. She's a Tom Delay junkie and if looked into, she probably belongs in prison. Anyway, for anyone with time on their hands, I'd love it if you would register and make a short comment on this story and email the writer if you would.

Most of the people I know with satellite TV have told me that if I want to go satellite to go DirecTV because Dish Network has such bad customer service.

Some yahoo said today on another site that Predator drones are not weapons, unless they are crashed into terrorists.
Got me thinking that we are not too far from organized crime using drones, and next there will be the home drone to protect your property.
Initially, they will be for surveillance, but then some late-night commercial entrepreneur will advertise a drone gun rack.
Sleep shooting will be a new defense.
So will 'someone hacked my drone communication system', and 'it just happened to crash into my husband's mistress' head'.

• Electoral "choices" perennially reduced to Know Nothings vs. Do Nothings.
• Media that mistakes neutrality for objectivity so completely, so thoroughly, that it would present "both sides" of debates like, Sexual Reproduction or Delivery by Stork?
• Lunatic "conservatives" who pay lip service to syllables like free-dumb and tear-a-knee, but who wear the uniform of liberty inside out and backwards.
• Libertarians who believe that "individual liberty" is best protected by ensuring the sovereignty of local jurisdictions, even when those jurisdictions will likely vote to violate their own citizens' individual liberties.
• "Senator" Joe Lieberman.
• Anyone who believes that the politically and functionally illiterate Sara Palin "wrote" a book about politics.
• President Obama's apparent belief that, with the right "negotiations" and deal-making, the insane, the lobotomized, the innocent and the evil can reach a consensus that benefits everyone.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Clarence Thomas (and probably a few other justices on the Court) would uphold a law that forbids atheists from holding state office, and nothing should be considered settled law until we have some younger sane people appointed to the highest bench.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Article VI, Sec. III
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Article VI, Sec. II:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
True, the Supremacy Clause forbids individual states from violating the U.S. Constitution, but much of the Constitution limits the federal government without likewise limiting the states. Note the explicit distinction in Article VI, Sec. 3 between "the United States" and "the several states." Note then that the Oath or Affirmation clause applies to both, but the religious test clause applies only to the former.
Thus, Justice Thomas would argue, the religious test clause does not actually apply to or limit the state governments in any way. The several states may still impose religious tests upon their respective officeholders.
Moreover, the Supreme Court has never held that the religious test clause applies to the states, and many scholars believe that it does not. The textual distinction between the several states and the United States is clear.
The Supreme Court has held, however, that provisions like those covered on the linked Rachel Maddow clip do violate the First Amednment's proscription of the establishment of religion, which limits the several states through the 14th Amendment.
Thomas rejects that argument too, noting that the First Amendment only explicitly limits the U.S. Congress, not the state legislatures.
Thomas is not alone.
Everyone is equally entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Wasn't that once self evident?
Looking at the history, with New England's Puritanism, and Maryland's Catholocism, and Jefferson's Virginia freedom of religion, I think the Founding Fathers did include the states in their reference, particularly since they didn't end one sentence and start another.
And the phrase under the United States is tricky, but I think it's comparable to Article III's creation of the Supreme Court "and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish," they didn't say that all those inferior courts answer to the Supreme.
And since the first capital was located in New York, Thomas's interpretation could have led to a Constitutional crisis between the laws of the Federal Government and that of the New York State government.

Seriously?! The 22 million "missing" Bush e-mails that were discovered won't be seen by the public until 2014?! What the hell? Is there any case where a person who "lost" 22 million of anything WASN'T trying to hide some sort of evidence of criminal activity? These things should be subpoenaed, and these e-mails should be made public muy pronto! But, of course, I still lie to myself from time to time that laws apply to everybody in this nation.
Why would you "shoot yourself when you get up to pee?" gun shown is a pump action shotgun and would be used with shells in the magazine but none in the chamber. People that assume gun owners are stupid are just as bigoted as people that assume minorities can't function well in "our" society.
( from the "shooting oneself in the leg when getting up to pee" department ):
An American citizen, ostensibly working under contract to US-AID, was arrested and detained in Cuba for distributing cell-phones and laptop computers to Cuban activists. While neither cell-phones or laptop computers are illegal in Cuba, they are well beyond the means of nearly all Cubans. Political activism in opposition to the Cuban government, however, is illegal.

In other words, a once independent arm of the Executive Branch that was absorbed into the Department of State, and frequently used as a cover for CIA/NSA covert operatives overseas, has been involved yet again in disruptive destabilization in a country we, historically speaking, have no business meddling in.
It could not have been much worse if it had been Blackwater/Xe mercenaries arrested in Cuba.
