Posting names of gun owners

The idiots at the Gannett paper, Journal News, thought that it would be amusing to post the names and addresses of every gun owner in their distribution area, Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties. I wrote a cute comment, reproduced below.

This reminds me of an actress past her prime doing soft core porn to generate a bit more interest. Print news is dead and anything that they can do to generate notoriety will be done. In the present case they did something that, while legal, is simply wrong. Wring and stupid. And they put us all at risk for a cheap PR trick.
In any event the personal contact information for all concerned at the paper can be found at:http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/

We should all know everything about everybody, right Ms. Lambert (n.b. Editor)?

Let me draw your attention to this link: http://christopherfountain.wordpress.com/ it goes to a blog that has posted the home addresses of the staff at the Journal.  Fair play I think.

You and I don't need the Journal News, or the NYT or any specific source of news and information.  That is because God gave us the Internet.  The world is at your fingertips and you don't need the filtering of the old established sources of information.  Gannett was founded in 1906, BTW.  

In their desperation to be profitable and relevant  the dinosaurs in publishing have used absurd tricks like pay walls and distasteful journalistic practices.  Our pals at the one daunting Time Magazine recently had this as a from cover:

What can one say except 

Time.  Can you imagine?  Henry Luce is spinning in his grave and probably would love to come back and kick some ass.  

Back to the fools at the Journal News.  Posting the names of gun owners is bad.  Because you can do something does not give you license to do it,  knowing that is what distinguishes a responsible adult from a child.  I am sure that the Editor,  Ms. Lambert, is not fool and knew just what she was doing.  She was hoping that the notoriety would get her a job in a major market.  Let's face it, Rockland County, N.Y. is not exactly Big Apple territory.  We can only hope that her management will see this silly and dangerous trick for what it is and make sure that this person, of questionable control over her career advancing impulses, is kept far from major markets where she could do real harm.

In any event, public record is public record and I hope that the information regarding Journal News employees is disseminated far and wide.  That is because  contrary to conventional wisdom, two wrongs often make a right.

Adios.

Keith "Crybaby" Olbermann

There are a couple of things that get under my skin.  Ticks, chiggers, suppurating sores and Keith Olbermann.


I was really hoping that this whiny excuse for a man was well and truly out of it when he went to that  dumb vanity outlet run by Gore, Current, but, no.  Freddy Kruger like the world of Media is exposed to yet more Olbermann drama.


I don't want to give this sniveling candy ass any more time than he has already clawed from the precious store allocated to each of us by the gods of Oak, Ash and Thorn except to observe that to have the sort of big media manhood that he thinks he should have (and amusingly swings around, to the danger of no one) YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AUDIENCE!!!!


Jesus Christ perusing a NAD book but this guy really deserves an ass kicking.  He is like the media equivalent of Paris Hilton: famous for being famous with only a modicum of talent and that talent apparent only on a grainy example that you have to squint at in order to make anything out.
I invited Keith's five viewers over the other day to get their opinion.  Even they were about fed up with this crybaby.  So, Keith, hasta la vista and don't let the door hit your fat ass on the way out.


Sorry folks, I had no intention of writing about this jerk, but I saw this column in the Times (NY) and thought to myself "Sandman, Carr has it half right, you better jump in".  Fact, Carr, is that this has nothing to do with pro sports because the number of people who would go to an event to see Olbermann wouldn't fill a damn pisser under the bleachers.  Different.  Just because Olbermann is a whiny liberal dies not give him talent and it sure as hell does not give him an audience.  Actually, the reverse probably.  


Even my liberal friends (yeah, I have a few, I'll tell you about them sometime) would like to kick his ass.  Just for being so damn annoying.


Till next time amigos.

More on Mr. Woozer

You know, I've been watching the Republicans self destruct over the past couple of weeks and I gotta say that it has the attraction of watching a train wreck.  I'd really like to write about some other stuff but I find myself staring like a lunatic at their antics.  Correct me if I am wrong but isn't a litmus test of conservative principles the belief that the central government should keeps it's damn paws out of your personal business?  I'm not crazy, right?  The latest is that Mr. Woozer (the  vile Santorum person) has decided that the feds should regulate porn.  WTF is that about?  Like the War On Drugs is such a smashing success that we need the Feds to wage war on porn.  And what is that going to cost us?  And what bureaucracy will that require?  And what liberties will be infringed as the feds go galloping thru every one's computer records to find evidence of ... Porn ...  Jesus Christ.  And, BTW, what the hell is the definition of porn in the first place?  What Woozer thinks it is?  


And, naturally, it's for the children.  


 I'm telling you: This guy is a liberal of the worst sort.  He thinks that the government can cure all ills, and that to do so all we need are more laws.  And, by the way, he knows whats Right and Wrong.  Idiot.  Like I would ever ever ever trust a politician to determine what I should or should not be doing.  The louder one of these lowlifes howls about something the surer I am that whatever it is they are concerned about and don't want you to do is a big part of their lives.  So far Mr. Woozer is upset about gays and porn.  Draw your own conclusions.

I'm ill.


Edited to add:


In case you think I am making this stuff up, let me assure you that even my fertile imagination could not create the madness that is Rick Santorum.  Read his approved message here:

Mark my words folks, this guy is going to destroy the Republican Party if he is nominated and will ensure four more years <shivver> of Mr. O.
