Beethoven is the best orchestrator, but how do you explain this?
“Rockaway Township – A Superior Court judge today ruled a blind gun hobbyist from Rockaway Township who accidentally shot himself while cleaning a weapon may keep his collection. Judge Thomas Manahan, sitting in Morristown, ruled that Steven Hopler may keep the six handguns he still has in his home, but he must store them in a safe pending an evaluation of his alcohol use.” [nj.com]
Bet you thought the NRA couldn’t find a spokesperson worse than Wayne Lapierre. You would be wrong:
Explaining the NRA’s roots during the same June 2012 speech, [Jim] Porter said, ‘NRA was started 1871 right here in New York state. It was started by some Yankee generals who didn’t like the way my Southern boys had the ability to shoot in what we call the ‘War of Northern Aggression.’ Now y’all might call it the Civil War, but we call it the ‘War of Northern Aggression’ down south.”
I’m sure he’ll be a reasonable voice in the gun debate.
Because why do anything to help people get jobs so they spend money so maybe the economy doesn’t tank again …

Media Matters is a site that exists to point and shout – “look at the stupid shit this conservative said!” So nojo and I were talking: how many posts can you do about Louie Gohmert, Virginia Foxx, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and the other GOP idiots who put on clown shoes and bring the crazy every day? Do the four or five people who visit this website get tired of being confronted with the latest right wing obscenity time and time again? Are we tilting at windmills?
Discuss.
