Well clearly this makes absolutely all the sense in the world:
In the politically-charged and likely protest-filled streets of Tampa, Fla., during the Republican National Convention in August, water guns will be strictly prohibited. Concealed handguns, on the other hand, will be perfectly legal…
Specifically no…
…super soaker” water guns, sticks, poles, portable shields or glass bottles.
No “portable shields”…you take that bullet in the body the way God and the Second Amendment intended.
And in other news, Rupert Murdoch was just this Tuesday found to “Not be a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company“. Did Rupert learn, was he in any way shamed? Well let’s see. Murdoch stated in his recent testimony before a British parliamentary committee:
“if you want to judge my thinking, look at the Sun.”
No, not our starry giver of life, but his British Newspaper. So, what is Rupert thinking?
He’s thinking, “I’m going to mock a person with a speech impediment on the Front Page!”
BTW, Roy Hodgson, speech impediment or no, can speak five languages — a quintet more than Sean Hannity.

If Chicago is any indicator… No Fly Zone To Be Enforced By Shoot-to-Kill Order During NATO Summit…!
The money quote…
“I believe that Chicago has shown a reputation of handling things correctly, and I don’t think that’s going to be any different in this particular case either,” Jackson said, adding that he was “absolutely” confident in leaders and officials in keeping everyone safe. *gah*

The police are not here to create disorder, the police are here to preserve disorder.
Dat’s da Chicago Way. Dis antiaircraft stuff beats anyting ol man Daley ever done hans down.
Concealed weapons kind of fit the venue, don’t they, all those wingers, out for blood – their own as well as ours.
So Rupert likes making fun of people with rhotacism? I wonder how he feels about people making fun of others who look like warty old toads?
Good morning all in the gulag,
No sticks or poles means no creative speech signs just government approved speech.
The government may not order you to eat broccoli yet but they presume to tell us where we can speak, in “free speech zones” and how we may speak. Not fascist enough yet not like old Rome where in the coliseum the ruler decided weather you lived or died with a thumbs up thumbs down decision. You don’t think that’s how they vote on drone strikes in the white house do you ?
Off with their heads! He really strikes me as another version of the Mad Queen, such a creepy guy.
Good morning, pups. We’ve got Kristof and Collins today. Mr. Kristof looks at “How Chemicals Affect Us” and says scientists warn that chemicals we’re exposed to every day can cause genital deformities and even breast cancer. Is our government paying attention? It’s time for another installment of SASQ: No. Ms. Collins is “Changing the Subject.” Tired of the same old presidential campaign? Time to tune in on the action-packed battles for the Senate. Well, I’ll be happy to consider anything but the Romneybot 2.0…
Here they are.
The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got banana pancakes for breakfast. Time for me to go out and water things so they don’t get stressed in the afternoon. Have a great day.
Oh please. I would trust someone with a concealed carry gun, long before an occupy nut and a water gun filled with something noxious.
Sorry, but people like you can’t be trusted with weapons. As we’ve seen from past experience, the left isn’t mature enough to leave things at free speech.
It’s kinda impressive the mental gymnastics the GOPers have to go through to protect their view of the 2nd amendment. This one even impresses me.
I suppose the idea is that anyone doing CCW is likely a GOP supporter and anyone young enough to be playing with a squirt gun likely isn’t. Given the GOP attacks on school funding, that’s reasonable.
Boxturtle (My squirt gun is loaded with liquid lead. That makes it legal, right?)
Thanks, Marion. Side effects of Senate campaigns would be worth a study too.
Harold Ford just blamed empty factories in upstate NY on our educational system.
I’ll bet I can come up with a dozen stories about some nuts shooting up the place with a firearm faster than you can come up with one story about an occupy member shooting at people with a “noxious substance” in a super soaker. Your ideology once again supplants your judgment but if you had good judgment, you wouldn’t be conservative.
Harold Ford has been campaigning for the slot of FOX “News’” token “Liberal” since Colmes bolted.
Jerking off in the am isn’t working for the Shootster anymore.
Great line.
I, and the rest of the civilized world, am amazed at the idea of concealed handguns. I would prefer that they be worn in holsters like the cowboy movies.
Typical conservative. “Judge me by the money my publication makes because that’s what’s important and all that’s important”. Maybe we should pick the Wall Street Journal instead and judge him by that.
The armored police are prepared for guns, but super-soakers would short out the Tasers.
Frankly shoot, I don’t give a shit what your opinion of me is.
He’s becoming like Dershowitz, called in when the media want a piece of shocker lines.
Hang the sign on a rope and have two people walk it.
Or if you’ve got some Beautiful People, put ‘em in swimsuits and use body paint.
Boxturtle (People would that the time to read Tayor Swift’s stomach)
This is one that you really would worry if they like you.
God, what would it say?
Sounds like in Tampa you can be arrested for your walker. This could be a problem.
Caro on LBJ on Morning Joke. Interesting.
Peter Bergen on CNN reporting that OBL was telling his sons to stay someplace safe, while he’s telling all his ‘soldiers’ to go blow themselves up. those belief systems are so typical right wing.
Like in The Exorcist? “Let Me Out”
Whatever Occupy wants it to say. They could be assured it will be read, and studied closely.
Boxturtle (How about: I’m in love with TSA screener #42. NICE HANDS!)
Surely people like you can.
This stuff just writes itself, folks. Be sure to try the veal.
So shooter’s still making his keyboard all sticky and yucky again today. What’s the matter, shooter, all the pages of your Hustler mag stuck together?
I think it said, HELP, didn’t it? LOL
I think you’re right, but I added to it.
Interesting, the Constitution says that we have the right to “bear arms,” it doesn’t say that the arms have to be guns. If a stick or pole is a weapon then the right to bear that weapon is protected by the Constitution the same as the right to carry a gun. I’d love to see someone make that challenge.
Wow, when you project, you go for IMAX.
“You can have my pointy stick when you take it from my cold, dead fingers” just doesn’t have the same pizzazz. Wayne Lapierre would never go for it.
Funny, isn’t it? I blog somewhere else, and it appears I now have a “foe,” who loves to pop up and attack me *personnally* – not really attack what I am saying, but attack me as a degraded entity. This particular blogger NEVER adds *anything* substantive to the “conversation,” either, I might add. Typical.
I’ve opined back that this person must REALLY LIKE me to pay so much attention to me and my “opinions.” Like: if you allegedly “hate” what I’m saying, then here’s a free clue: stop reading my posts!
OR: Get a Life, Loser!
Oh…sspeechless.
Go tell you mother she wants you.
I’ve had the same thought. Kinda gives the lie to the entire “2nd Ammendment first” movement.
Roy Hodgson’s speech impediment is barely noticable anyway.
