Overnight Open Thread (9-14-2014)

So a sudden kidney stone attack led me to spend the night in the ER but at least I got to meet my old friends Johnny Morphine and Dil Laudid.

Net result my total accomplishments today were approximately 7%.* And I'm currently operating heavy ONT equipment while on narcotics....whheeeeeeeeeeeee!

*I'm counting sleeping and vomiting here as actual accomplishments.

After 30 Years Of Lies, NY Times Admits "Assault Weapons Are A Myth"

Well more than a myth - a deliberately made-up political term.

It was much the same in the early 1990s when Democrats created and then banned a category of guns they called "assault weapons." America was then suffering from a spike in gun crime and it seemed like a problem threatening everyone. Gun murders each year had been climbing: 11,000, then 13,000, then 17,000.

Democrats decided to push for a ban of what seemed like the most dangerous guns in America: assault weapons, which were presented by the media as the gun of choice for drug dealers and criminals, and which many in law enforcement wanted to get off the streets.

This politically defined category of guns - a selection of rifles, shotguns and handguns with "military-style" features - only figured in about 2 percent of gun crimes nationwide before the ban.

...The policy proved costly. Mr. Clinton blamed the ban for Democratic losses in 1994. Crime fell, but when the ban expired, a detailed study found no proof that it had contributed to the decline.

Wow someone really screwed up in this NYT op-ed and accidentally told the truth.

Oakland Firefighter Plays Race Victim Card Until Police Release Video

Oh, how alluring, how comforting, how most pleasing is the mantle of victimhood.  So pleasing, in fact, that even when the claim to victim status is tenuous at best, some people cannot restrain themselves from rushing before the news cameras to inform the world of how they have been mistreated.  Pátio ergo sum.  I suffer, therefore I am.

Salon Publishes an All-Female Enemies List

Because by disagreeing with the Left's agenda they're clearly anti-Feminist misogynists.

"The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race."
