			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8367794">It&#8217;s from Australia and it&#8217;s about guns</a> so you know it&#8217;s wrong already but this pernicious fallacy needs to stopped everywhere it pops up.</p>
<blockquote><p>More guns are being stolen each year, with a significant number going missing because their owners failed to take proper security precautions, a new study reveals.</p></blockquote>
<p>NO! The guns &#8220;go missing&#8221; because criminals steal them.</p>
<p>There is no other explanation necessary. A gun owner has no moral obligation to prevent someone from stealing a gun. Not only is it impossible, it&#8217;s wrong to put that onus on the victim of theft.</p>

<blockquote><p>Leslie Paige, who represents watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste, says the government should withdraw the dollar bill from the market and force Americans to use the coins.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think Americans will definitely embrace the dollar coin if they&#8217;re just given the opportunity,&#8221; she says.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kinda like I have the opportunity to pay my taxes or the opportunity to buy health insurance?</p>
<p>Doublespeak.   It&#8217;s not just for breakfast anymore.</p>

<p>Anyone claiming to be a psychic is a fraud.  </p>
<p>Anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jessie Jackson says <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/04/07/jesse-jackson-declares-federal-budget-fight-the-american-civil-war-all-over-again/">the budget battle is the same as the Civil War.<br />
</a></p>
<blockquote><p>“[T]his really is a Civil War fight,” Jackson said. “This is making the federal government dysfunctional on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. These guys will support three wars. They’ll support tax dodgers. They’ll support the wealthiest Americans getting tax breaks. They want to cut into education and health care. This is an ideological battle.”</p>
<p>Jackson said those trying to shut down the federal government are doing so to make an “ideological-religious point.”</p></blockquote>
<p>He is exactly right.  Obama is trying to shut down the government to make a “ideological-religious point.”</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s this gem:</p>
<blockquote><p>“You have those who believe in states’ rights and those who believe in a more perfect union,”</p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, there are those that believe in the rule of law and those that believe in unicorn farts.</p>

<blockquote><p>U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin was in the Bay Area touring a peninsula hospital. NBC Bay Area reporter Damian Trujillo asked her about the run on tablets and Dr. Benjamin said although she wasn&#8217;t aware of people stocking up, she did not think that would be an overreaction. She said it was right to be prepared.</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are in the US and are worried about radiation from the Japanese Nuclear Power plants then you are an idiot.  The Surgeon General who tells you that stocking up on iodine tablets is not an overreaction is the queen of idiots.</p>
<p>In the words of the Obamarama, LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR:</p>
<p>Even if the Japanese nuclear plants exploded (which they won&#8217;t)  There is no danger of radiation fallout here in the US.  (<a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki">ask me how I know</a>)   </p>
<p>All this ZOMG! TEH RADIATIONS!  is just fear mongering among idiots and gullible morons.</p>
<p>So don&#8217;t be one.</p>
