From the Argus Leader:

Bill would require all S.D. citizens to buy a gun

Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy a firearm “sufficient to provide for their ordinary self-defense.”

The bill, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2012, would give people six months to acquire a firearm after turning 21. The provision does not apply to people who are barred from owning a firearm.

Nor does the measure specify what type of firearm. Instead, residents would pick one “suitable to their temperament, physical capacity, and preference.”

The measure is known as an act “to provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others.”

Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional.

“Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not. But at the same time, we do not believe the federal government can order every citizen to buy health insurance,” he said.

This totally reminds me of my favorite phone ringtone….

From the Leader-Post:

A “Black Widow” suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central Moscow on New Year’s Eve but was killed when an unexpected text message set off her bomb too early, according to Russian security sources.

The unnamed woman, who is thought to be part of the same group that struck Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on Monday, intended to detonate a suicide belt near Red Square on New Year’s Eve in an attack that could have killed hundreds.

Security sources believe a message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her at a safe house.

Islamist terrorists in Russia often use mobile phones as detonators. The bomber’s handler, who is usually watching their charge, sends the bomber a text message in order to set off his or her explosive belt at the moment when it is thought they can inflict maximum casualties.

The dead woman has not been identified, but her husband is apparently serving time in jail for being a member of a radical Islamist terror group.

Security sources believe the New Year’s Eve bomber and the airport bombers may have been members of a suicide squad trained in Pakistan’s al-Qaida strongholds which was sent to target the Russian capital’s transport system.

Nobody has been arrested in connection with Monday’s bombing, which left 35 people dead. Police are trying to identify the severed head of a male suicide bomber recovered from the scene.

Happy New Year!!!!

CIA task force created to look into WikiLeaks; needs a better acronym

The United States’ clandestine security group — the Central Intelligence Agency — has created a task force to, as the Washington Post reports, “assess the impact of the exposure of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables and military files by WikiLeaks.” The article goes on to note that the WikiLeaks Task Force is better known around the Agency by its acronym: WTF. We would like to take this opportunity to snicker at the task force’s acronym choice. Oh the double-entendre, what a fickle mistress you are.

Hypocrisy from a liberal? Shocking…

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange: don’t leak my bail address!

Yep! That’s the liberal mantra: Do as I  say, not as I do!
Did it work out for him? Not so much…. insert irony here:

But the move was dismissed by District Judge Howard Riddle, who ruled not to reveal the address would conflict with Assange’s commitment to open justice.

“Irany”. heh.

Iranians Furious After Finding Jewish Symbol Hidden In Plain View

Ahmadinejad and his antisemitic cronies are fuming with anger after discovering theStar of David on the roof of Iran Air headquarters at Tehran’s airport. The building was originally built by Israeli engineers prior to the the Islamic Revolution.

Nobody noticed the Jewish symbol until someone found it up in Google Maps. The building—which hosts their national airline at the Mehrabad International Airport—was built by Israeli engineers before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and it has been hidden in plain sight until today.

It won’t stay there for much longer. According to The Jerusalem Post, Iranian government officials have already ordered the destruction of the star. [Google Mapsvia Jerusalem Post]

In the spirit of the start of Hanukkah and Christmas coming upon us, I present you with a holiday funny…

Two Middle East mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a plate of tabouli and a pint of goat’s milk.
The older of the two pulls a bag out of her purse and starts flipping through photos. They start reminiscing.
”This is my oldest son, Mujibar. He would have been 24 years old now.”
”Yes, I remember him as a baby” says the other mother cheerfully.
“He’s a martyr now though” the mother confides.
“Oh, so sad dear” says the other.
”And this is my second son, Khalid. He would have been 21.”
”Oh, I remember him,” says the other happily,
”he had such curly hair when he was born.”
”He’s a martyr too” says the mother quietly.
”Oh, gracious me . . . ” says the other.
”And this is my third son. My baby. My beautiful Ahmed.
He would have been 18”, she whispers.
“Yes” says the friend enthusiastically,
”I remember when he first started school”
”He’s a martyr also,” says the mother, with tears in her eyes.
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs and, searching for the right words, says….

Wait for it…

“They blow up so fast, don’t they?”

heh.

Yeah, I did it. I went there.  I made a clearly bigoted joke… aimed at a false religion (manufactured by a pedophile in 5th century). heh.

So by all means, send your hate mail, or designated jihadi to visit me… my dog, vast bacon supply, and small army’s arsenal await.. ready to welcome you with open “arms”. heh.

No rhyme or reason, just came across it the other day and thought it was funny… enjoy!
