Angry wife chops off cheating husband's penis -- twice
A scissors-wielding woman who had discovered her husband was cheating on her cut his penis off twice. Once while he was sleeping, and then again at the hospital where doctors had sewn the organ back on.

Sure, you can ask for a pony, that rifle you saw in the store window, or maybe even peace on Earth. The guy with the red suit and beard appears to be listening, and maybe even sort of mumbles something that makes you BELIEVE your wishes will be granted.
But your parents will be supplying you with whatever "gifts" they decide to get you. No one else really has any say the matter, certainly not some drunken flunky who appears to listen to you.
In this case, your "parents" are the Gope. Congratulations, they are going to buy you a cheap magic kit, a Spanish language textbook, and an ugly sweater.

Seriously though, there has to be a realignment such that there is one law, and it's applicable to everyone. Right now, the applicability of the law it is entirely dependent upon who you're aligned with.

Look, for anyone who is snarking on Article V, please read Levin's book "The Liberty Amendments."

I don't think anyone is snarking JJ. In my opinion, Article V is a last ditch effort with as much risk as reward, and if it came to that, the gloves would come off on both sides.
The Constitution was developed and debated (for the most part) by people who had been educated in rhetoric and logic and who could make a compelling argument. In today's climate, what passes for rhetoric and logic is reality TV and the MSM. Conservatives have no control over that debate. FFS , they can't even control the debate when a stupid bint like Candy Crowley or a hack like George Snufalufagus hold one and when they're competing against joey Choo Choo.
I have NO faith in the GOP to successfully manage a theme or a narrative during such an affair as critical as an Article V convention.

Recent claims about the number of deaths by alcohol poisoning def got the attention of college PR departments, and they called in The Pinnochio Guy at WaPo.
Virtually none of the college-related drinking deaths were by Everclear inundation, it turns out. Most were "alcohol-related" car crashes, and the bureaucracy slipped up and revealed itself, to wit: the national CDC car crash data are based on the idea that if any participant in the accident, including bicyclists and pedestrians, were over .01,that crash goes in the books as alcohol-related. It's so far out on a limb, even CDC has a warning rejoinder about jumping to conclusions.
Upshot, the vast majority of reported alcohol driving accidents are simply not true. Only three pinnochios, though, because student drinking is An Important Issue.
Shutting down CDC is nowhere near enough to safeguard the public. No one who has any part in their "research" should ever be allowed to process data again. Their degrees and credentials must be cancelled. I also don't want any of them flipping my burgers (or, in NJ, pumping my gas).
Posted by: Stringer Davis at January 15, 2015 07:55 AM (xq1UY)
Look, the thing to remember is that the Constitution as of right now is essentially dead (or not at all well). Every time SCOAMF enacts an executive order or Congress LETS him do it, and every time SCOTUS legislate from the bench, or the bureaucracy issues 80,000 pages of rules every fucking year, is a de-facto Constitutional Convention.
Article V was the Founder's last ditch firewall of recourse for the PEOPLE. And our state legislators I don't think very much fancy themselves being essentially figureheads, when the original intention was to have them control the most power as the closest reps to the people.
We must trust that the process will do as we want since it is completely outside Washington DC and the Federal government.
Has to be done. Has to be.

She's considering banning corner stores in identified poor neighborhoods. Because an empty storefront is better, I guess. Maybe Moochelle will set her straight about food deserts.
This partially matters to me because an elderly relative of mine - who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, that's how old - runs one of the best of these stores. He opened it back in the 50s when the neighborhood was very different but he's still going strong.

How many red states are there and how many commie blue? Do you think that the blue states will get involved in an Article V process and if they do that the ever-increasing majority of red state legislatures will allow shenanigans to get past them?
And when it's all said and done, do you really thin that 3/5ths of the states would ratify anything like that?
So, okay. You can poo-poo it and I hope and pray that all the leftists/cronies feel like you do and ignore it as well.

The real purpose of it is to provide a legal means of the states clawing back power from the Federal Leviathan. Leviathan, however, would not give up its powers without a fight. No matter how legal the result, and even if we got the results we wanted, they'd set about figuring out how to subvert them as soon as they were put in place.
Without fixing that moral issue, the pretense at moral superiority and pride masking itself as compassion that makes Leftists, we're still going to be pulled down into the abyss with them.

If, please G-d, amendments are ratified that kneecaps the Leviathan, then about the only other place where they could subvert the will of the people would be the corrupt courts.
And that's why term limits for justices (as well as all elected officials) are crucial as well.
Amendments to the constitution that address processes and functions would be very difficult to subvert.

It'd be hard to subvert, but it was also hard to subvert the original Constitution too. These people are patient, and they have time, the media, and the education system on their side. There's no such thing as people-proof laws, and even if we win, Liberty will never be more than a generation away from extinction. This is the very essence of that old phrase "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance." Moreso than the enemy without, the internal enemies of liberty are always busy.

No, that wasn't the failure. The failure was in not recognizing that honesty would become a thing of the past.
The left says: "There's no way to know precisely what they meant because they aren't here to ask, so we'll have to interpret as best we can."
The Founders say: "It says 'shall not be infringed.' English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?"
The left says: "But that couldn't have been what you meant. Not really."
The founding fathers didn't account for people being willing to both lie and accept lies about plain English.

Good morning, pretty Hordelings.
This morning I bring you naked Mylie Cyrus, who has apparently done polaroids for V Magazine.
I am generally the world's biggest fan of celebrity nudity, but this girl creeps me out. I share only for its newsworthiness.

Dunno. They were farseeing dudes and had that raging bestseller History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire as a ready guide. They prolly didn't see it as happening so fast but they did prolly see it as either inevitable or thought they'd built in the right kind of safeguards against a similar fate.
Like, f'instance, Gibbon's thesis was Rome fell in part because of loss of civic virtue. And what did the Founders agree the American Republic required of its citizens to survive? That's right....

62 I just have to say it's very odd to see my dyed-in-the-wool liberal

kinds of laws as President.

well duh, there is no intellectual consistency from the left when it comes to free speech. they are totally okay with shutting up conservatives because "they're mean" or "they're evil" or something. They don't really care about the consequences of this position because it's all about power. If they are in charge then THEY won't be shut up (so they think). It's only about getting those conservatives out of power by any means necessary.

Sounds good except it comes off as something handed from on high with no justification or *guidance* to the People. The dependent clause instructs the People as to why and hints as to what we should use those arms for, if need be. Which is also lost in meaning unfortunately.

He was erm insightful though, selling like the Dickens and cited as an inspiration by the deeply psycho-logical Henry James, despite the dark and stormy nights.
So, for about a century, his closing lines (I reach out my hand from the further shore) were taken to be trite but well-meaning. In the new edition it is "revealed" that they are the closing lines of Vergil's Aeneid. Because nobody in the intervening hundred years ever read Vergil right through to the end.
And that was the old New Curriculum, Great Books, that replaced the three classical languages (Romish, Greekish, and Jewish) with "selected readings."

OBAMA ADMIN TARGETS GUN STORE OWNERS BY INTIMIDATING BANKS NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM
This is outrageous. The Obama administration via the DOJ is intimidating banks into not doing business with certain types of businesses, including those who sell firearms. It's called "Operation Choke Point" and according to critics, it's gone from simply trying to prevent fraud to becoming the 'morality police'.
According to Fox News, if a certain business type is on the DOJ's list, then banks are told they will be scrutinized closer and will be subject to increased audits if they do business with them. Thus, some business such as those who sell ammunition and firearms are having to find alternative banks to keep from going out of business.
I'm not sure how wide these categories are, but legal business are being targeted.

During the filming of 1938s Bringing Up Baby, Hepburn and director Howard Hawks were constantly clashing. The tone was set on the first day of shooting, when Hawks stood by as an oblivious Hepburn chatted away to cast and crew.
Finally noticing that nothing was being set up, she asked Hawks, "What are you doing?"
Hawks replied, "I'm just waiting for the parrot to stop talking."
Hepburn flushed red and marched over to the director. "Look here, Mr. Hawks," she began, indicating the set, "these people here are all my friends. If you don't watch yourself, something bad might happen."
Hawks looked up into the rigging, where a burly electrician sat net to a huge spotlight. "Charlie," he called up, "if you had the choice of dropping that light on me or on Miss Hepburn, who would you choose?"
Without missing a beat, the electrician yelled, "Stand aside, Mr. Hawks!"
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
