Hawaii Government At Work

Hawaii Government: It's slow, it's unfocused, it flails about, it eats everything in sight, and it leaves a trail of slime everywhere it goes.

I have just come across this transformationally important video, incredibly useful for anyone in a WROL grid down survival situation. Topic: How to open your bottle of Champagne using only your saber.

I can hardly wait to try it with my KaBar Cutlass Machete.

Or just some Europeans?

More on Jonathan Gruber vs Rich Weinstein

The citizen journalist who has been finding video clips of MIT professor and ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber isn't a professional: He just plays one in real life.

Here is what he has been up to while the professionals settle for thrills running up their legs.

Yet at a January 2012 symposium, Gruber seemed to be making the conservatives' argument. “What’s important to remember politically about this is if you're a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don't get their tax credits—but your citizens still pay the taxes that support this bill,” said Gruber. “So you’re essentially saying [to] your citizens you’re going to pay all the taxes to help all the other states in the country.”

The investment advisor e-mailed this around. Nobody cared.

One of the designers said on camera that people who do not go through state exchanges don't get subsidies.

Fancy that.

Not that several of the US Supreme Court members will care: they are Obama's boys and girls.

ISIS Slaughters Hundreds Of Prisoners, Obama Calls For "Better Political Inclusion"

The New York Times has video and a story on the ISIS slaughter of hundreds of bound prisoners in Tikrit:

DIWANIYA, Iraq — Ali Hussein Kadhim, an Iraqi soldier and a Shiite, was captured with hundreds of other soldiers by Sunni militants...

The militants, with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, separated the men by sect. The Sunnis were allowed to repent for their service to the government. The Shiites were marked for death, and lined up in groups.

Then they were shot in the back of the head. At least 560 of them, possibly the claimed-by-ISIS 1700, or more.

In its campaign of blatantly sectarian- or ethnic-driven massacres like the one in Tikrit, ISIS has been tearing open Iraq’s wounds, creating a new wave of factionalism that has sent American officials scrambling to call for better political inclusion and reconciliation.

That's a joke, right? ISIS slaughters perhaps 1700 unarmed, cuffed prisoners, and President Obama calls for "better political inclusion". Obama actually thinks ISIS mass murderers should be "better included"?

Why doesn't the New York Times highlight that?

Director Comey gives the appearance of stonewalling. He won't even say if the FBI has interviewed more or fewer tha 10 of the alleged victims.

Felix Baumgartner Balloon Jump Video

Here is one way to get your heart rate to 190.

This is the video shot by Felix Baumgartner when he jumped from a balloon from 39 km up over New Mexico. I noticed that at the beginning there wasn't enough air to make the wrinkles on his suit flap.

For some reason it opens half way thru the video. If you want to see the beginning you'll have to slide the white button at the bottom over to the left.

"Fat Boy" Does Nagasaki

I've never seen this before, or even known the name of the plane. Everybody knows Enola Gay. Number two is...uh...who?

I hope the Iranians never get a chance to make a film like this....though I won't be at all surprised if they do.

"The Rifleman"'s Head Count: 120 in Five Years

120, yep, 120, and you can see every one of them here. I particularly like the suicide by pitchfork death.

This is, of course, conclusive scientific evidence that you should bring a rifle to a gun fight, not a revolver.

I can see why the Hollywoodies had to take it off the air, though: Chuck Connors aka Lucas McCain aka The Rifleman never shot a gun out of a bad guy's hand, just gunned them down, and always with multiple shots to save the poor long suffering taxpayers the expense of hospitalization followed by trial and incarceration. Now THAT is social responsibility.*

He should have called that gun "Rehabilitator".


* For any of you of the Humor Impaired persuasion: The above is intended as humor. Humor is an attempt to be funny, whether one succeeds or not. I do in fact believe that it is unacceptable to shoot miscreants more than necessary to stop them doing whatever justifies shooting them at all. "The Rifleman" was a TV show. It was fiction. If you can't distinguish between real life and TV, please stop reading my blog, go away, and fling yourself into a flock of sharks engaging in a feeding frenzy.

And get a life.

Cowboy Action Shooting on Oahu, Hawaii

These folks really make their lever actions hum.

There actually is a cowboy tradition in Hawaii. The Parker Ranch on the Big Island is several hundred thousand acres. The cowboys were called paniolos, a corruption of Hispaniolo as many of them were Mexicans.

There is even a Paniolo Preservation Society.
