Jollyroger admits that he did work his way through stripper school as a lawyer, but since graduating he has rehabilitated himself, and profits no longer from the misfortune of his brothers, but from the lust of his sisters instead. He is currently on the 60 day DL (too fat); Until he is called back up to the show, he is temping as an inventor.

The recent publication by the White Plains Journal-News of a map highlighting the locations in Westchester and Rockland Counties of holders of handgun permits raised howls of protest.
Issues of privacy were raised, though the information is part of the public record by law, and thus available to anyone with the time and inclination to visit the county seat.
A subsequent request under the Freedom of Information Act has driven the Putnam County authorities to consider civil disobedience.
This is preposterous. [Read more]
Who can forget the howls of rage that rose from the barnyard circus that nominated Mitt Romney to carry the Repugnant standard into battle?
Most self-congratulatory were the distorted versions of Obama's rather clumsy reworking of Liz Warren's "God Bless!", a caution directed to the smug successful who saw no contribution from the commons.
Notwithstanding public pronouncements to the contrary by Joe "too far over his skiis" Biden, and Harry "Mitt Romney pays no taxes" Reid, we learn today that Barry "shiv-in-your-back" Obama is feeling the pain of House Repugnants with such poignancy that he finds it neccessary to bargain away a big chunk of Granny's outyear meal budgets; throwing Boehner a bone as it were, by snatching it from Granny's teeth. [Read more]
I offer for debate: The only legitimate purpose of a firearm is to equalize the odds while you await the police. It will have a mandatory trigger lock, and someday a palm print activitated safety.
Therefor, if you feel the need (or have the greed) to wipe out un armed mammals, use a Bow.
All firearms to be licensed. You may possess a revolver.( plus a speed loader if you need it, and only one.)
We will amend the constitution.
Yes, we are coming for your guns, and we shall have them.
It is perhaps easy to overlook that the final death in Newtown was that of the shooter.
Don't get me wrong--I would have cheerfully supported snuffing this piece of shit preemptively were it possible, even though I passionately oppose the death penalty after a crime has occurred.
That said, inasmuch as the staggering majority of mass killings are "murder-suicides" it seems to me that a relatively accessible "mental health" amelioration of our plight would be more adequate funding and personning of suicide prevention hot lines.
We hear tough talk from Prez (not for the first time...) vowing that any attempts by John Boehner to leverage a fiscal bargaining position by demanding concessions as a quid pro quo for raising the debt limit are non starters.
That said, it is beyond delightful to see how the advocates, indeed, the very practitioners, of diminishing the hurdles to surveillance now dangle at the business end of their petards.
The agent now colloquially known as "Shirtless FBI man" set this little bedroom farce in motion via conduct not very far removed from the sort of self-serving abuse that gets a highway patrolman fired when he uses his data base access to pursue a cute girl by running her license plate after he notices her on the road. [Read more]
With fear and trembling we turn towards the second term agenda.
Let's pretend that Obama has learned a thing or two besides how better to fake feisty.
These are a few of the several crucial pivots off the recent election that will give some hope for a new House majority in 2014, failing which we will continue deadlocked and stymied.
Prez, your mission should you choose to accept it: Lock in the components of your coalition, bring them directly to bear upon specific House repugnants rendered vulnerable by votes forced upon them over the next two years.
We begin, of course, with the elimination of the filibuster, thus turning the Senate into a weapon of mass repugnant destruction. [Read more]
"Where am I going?". This was my cousin Tracy's charmingly naive response to my question :"What do you pack?" (.a Glock as it turned out). I had just learned that her recent accountancy degree had brought a job with the IRS, specifically the C(riminal) I(nvestigation) D(ivision).
Tracy has rehabilitated herself, and is no longer employed in law enforcement, but my mind turns today to her, and the other hundred thousand or so IRS agents. If you are one, (or a friend/relative of one) this post is for you. Your country calls out in peril, and you have the access code to save it, albeit at great personal cost.

When the subject of our impending Afghan exit is discussed, it is common to lament the wretched condition to which the women of that country will be abandoned. On the Pakistani side of the Durand line, the same or worse oppression obtains.  [Read more]
By Jane Mayer of the New Yorker. If you are wondering how far PBS is willing to go to placate David Koch to keep their funding? It gives you a look into the special documentry "Citizen Koch" and its fall out. The program was never aired except at Sundance. David Koch resigned from WNET on May 16th.

Syrian rebels under siege in a strategic city on the Lebanese border are increasingly turning to social media to wage psychological warfare, according to Vocativ analysts monitoring the region.
The town of Al Qusayr has become ground zero in the war between rebel fighters on the one side and the joint forces of President Bashar Al Assad and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on the other. Some of the most intense fighting has taken place there over the last few days. The New York Times reports both sides consider this battle a turning point in the larger civil war that has been raging for more than two years.
