Overnight Open Thread (5 Dec 2015)

Not that I need any new reasons, but here are 7 reasons you should buy a gun after San Bernardino.

Obama Thinks Taking Your Guns Will Stop Terrorists. Josh Earnest said yesterday that gun control was the best way to stop terrorists. Fox News' Peter Doocy asked if Obama thought gun control could deter terrorism; Earnest explained, "Yes. The president believes that passing common sense gun laws that makes it harder for people with bad intentions to get guns, makes the country safer." But we know that the San Bernardino terrorists bought their guns legally, then modified them in illegal fashion. They also had IEDs. California has some of the strictest gun control in the nation. That fact led Senator Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to declare, idiotically, that "Sensible gun laws work. We've proven it in California and we are not going to give up." She said this the day after the shooting in San Bernardino that prompted the conversation in the first place - the day after a bunch of unarmed people were shot while waiting four minutes for the cops to arrive.

Do you feel safe?

West Virginia

West Virginia is the only state in the country where more than half of adults are not working, according to the Census Bureau. If they'd stop electing Democrats, they just might start to get their jobs back but they won't.

Food Wars

Seven foods that have led to wars.

News Bloopers

A herniated dick? That sounds painful.

Psychosis

So what do you see in the above image? What you say might mean you are psychotic. Or not.

Bombs

If we're running out of bombs for a low intensity campaign, what does that say about our readiness for a major war against a near peer opponent?

U-2 Landings

From the perspective of the chase car.

Active Shooter

What to do in an active shooter situation when you find yourself in a "gun free zone". It helps if you keep some "weapons" in your desk say like wasp killer, carbureter cleaner with a lighter, super bright flashlight, a powerful laser pointer, a special letter opener, etc.

What Is Right Wing?

Alright morons, check this out. This group has grouped mass shootings into two categories, deadly jihadist attacks and deadly right wing attacks. Can you spot what's wrong with the "right wing attacks" column? The WaPo didn't. BTW, they define right wing as ANYONE that is anti-government. If that's the case, why don't they just use the label deadly anti government attacks then? So basically, the gist of it is to inflate the number of "right wing" attacks and show that we are attacked more often by "right wingers" than Islamic terrorists.

Chemical Compounds

10 chemical compounds with immature jokes for names.

3. Vaginatin

So, this happened. Even though it seems like vaginatin is either a) a bad fake answer on a high school chemistry test or b) an over-the-counter medication no one would ever want to buy, it’s actually a compound isolated from the plant Selinum vaginatum, a member of the carrot family.
