Top 40 Reasons to Support Gun Control

Ran across this and thought it was funny. I will give you a short preview of what is on the list.

"2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA's high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.
9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should "put up no defense — give them what they want, or run" (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don't Die - People Do, 1981, p. 125).
12. The 2nd Amendment, ratified in 1791, refers to the National Guard, which was created by an act of Congress in 1903.
13. The National Guard, funded by the federal government, occupying property leased to the federal government, using weapons owned by the federal government, punishing trespassers under federal law, is a state militia."

He Sure Sent Them a Message...

"Undeterred by U.S. and French hostage rescues that killed seven bandits, Somali pirates brazenly hijacked three more ships in the Gulf of Aden, the key waterway that's become the focal point of the world's fight against piracy." [link]

The "bold" strategic maneuvering of Obama and Secretary of State Clinton really seem to have made the Somali pirates think twice about hijacking another ship. In fact they thought so hard about it that the hijacked 3. I guess now instead of a chuckle from Clinton, we might get to see a good honest belly roll full fledged laugh-a-thon. I can also assume that it will take roughly three to four days for Obama to issue any type of statement, possibly longer.

Obama Received "Bonus" From AIG and Other Oddities

"Senator Barack Obama received a $101,332 bonus from American International Group in the form of political contributions according to Opensecrets.org. The two biggest Congressional recipients of bonuses from the A.I.G. are - Senators Chris Dodd and Senator Barack Obama." [link]

I almost have to believe that someone is making all this up and we are all just part of a really big parody skit. There are some other clues out there that point to Obama being one of the best comedians ever. I mean anyone who gets praise for being such a wonderful orator and then thanks himself in a speech due to a teleprompter mistake... Or speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi posting very odd and out there videos on youtube. No seriously she posted a video about her and two cats on capital hill. I could not watch it all, very strange to say the least.

My Favorite Movies (Some with comments)

These are in no particular order. I might actually cause myself to have a brain hemorrhage if I tried to put this list in order.

1. Pulp Fiction (Very violent, very funny, not for the faint of heart)
2. Monty Python's The Holy Grail, and The Life of Brian (I still find myself quoting these).
3. Seven (Absolutely brilliant detective movie, also has some conspiracy elements).
4. The Usual Suspects (talk about plot twists and turns).
5. Suicide Kings (talk about plot twists and turns, with the benefit of Christopher Walken).
6. Heat (excellent, very realistic gun handling, director Michael Mann is a perfectionist when it comes to firearms and proper handling).
7. Silence of the Lambs (I feel no comment is needed).
8. Donnie Darko (very odd, time travel?, parallel universe?, Drew Barrymore?).
9. Troy (excellent depiction of Homers epic, not to mention really cool fight scenes).
10. The Last Samurai (excellent movie, great moral value, cool fight scenes).
11. Reservoir Dogs (nearly as violent as Pulp Fiction, more nail biting here though).
12. The Wall by Pink Floyd (for those that have seen it in a certain context nothing else needed)
13. Easy Rider (A very funny Jack Nicholson role).
14. The Patriot (wonderful portrayal a small part of the Revolutionary War, I wish all Americans would watch this at least once).
15. Braveheart (excellent, shows the extent to what Freedom and Liberty are truly worth).
16. Blackhawk Down (just remember this was mainly due to Clinton having no spine whatsoever).
17. 300 (portrayal of the single battle that allowed Western thought to spread, if not for this battle it would almost be certain we would not have what we consider a Western worldview, also gives us the wonderful quote "Molon Labe!").
18. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Johnny Depp at his best).
19. All the Clint Eastwood "Spaghetti Westerns" (revolutionary film making and directing, also has lots of very cool gunfights).
20. Fight Club (wonderful movie, two of my favorite actors).
21. American History X (extremely violent, powerful movie about how people can change even though their surroundings don't).
