The Countertop Chronicles

I’m looking out my window at the Security Blimp right now, wondering why, if Climate Change is occuring at such a quick rate, its so fucking cold and miserable outside?

Russia President Vladamir Putin is going to sign Kyoto. Its now headed to the Dumas for a rubber stamp.

Blogging will be light non existent today, as I deal with the impacts of this development.

While blogging about John Hostettler insightful floor statement on the incompetence of the DC Police and its 911/emergency response capabilities, I forgot about an earlier post on John Hostettler this spring.

Thanks a bunch, Congressman Hostettler. How I wish you represented me, instead of that fence straddling drunk.

Voting is done and we won pretty handily 250-171

That breaks down as follows,

193 Republicans voting for it, 22 against, and 7 not voting.

52 Democrats voting for it, 143 against, 1 present and 4 not voting.

Bernie Sanders voted against it.

I’ll get you a complete list of who voted what later today. I expect you all to call the RINOs and give them grief while calling the Democratic friends of the constitution and thank them for their continued sanity.

We just won. The bill passed on an oral vote. Souder requested a recorded vote and recieved it.

It will be interesting to see who votes.

Tom Davis is an ass. He’s a bumbling, fence straddling, alcohol fueled fool.
He used to be my congressman, but thank god I was gerrymandered out of
his district. Simply put, he is a disgrace to the good people of the
Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Volunteer State is stepping up today. First it was Zach Wamp and now Masha Blackburn (who is pretty darn attractive) are doing a great job of shutting the gun grabbers down.

Of special note, its nice to hear that members of Zach’s family have CCW permits.

Hostettler is on right now talking about the inability of the DC Police to povide even the most basic level of police protection and responsiveness.

He’s pointing out how his constituents can keep their families safe, but in DC you are required to hope that a police force which often times doesnt show up for hours to come to your rescue.

Mark Souder has a great response to Waxman.

“It would be illegal to shoot such weapon at a limo or armored truch under my bill, and it will still be illegal to shoot such a weapon in that fashion under my bill”

Oh god . . . Henry Waxman is complaining about .50 caliber sniper rifles now. Good grief. Go back to California.

Eleanor Norton Holmes is an idiot. Here’s some of her more idiotic questions.

It should be a requirement of citizenship to warn the police if someone has a gun.

If you vote for this bill you will vote to allow children under 18 to carry semi automatic assault weapons on the streets.

If you vote for this bill you will vote to allow people who have been convicted of a crime to buy SEMI AUTOMATIC weapons.

Like I said, an utter and complete idiot. Thank god she doesn’t count.

Certainly, there must be a mistake here.

Van Douglas Godette Jr., 23, from Lake Charles was sentenced Monday by United States District Judge Richard Haik to 21 months imprisonment to be followed by three years supervised release for making false statements to a firearms dealer while attempting to purchase a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol announced United States Attorney Donald W. Washington.

The offense occurred when Godette attempted to purchase firearms at a gun show in Lake Charles in November 2002. While completing the Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms Form 4473 Godette answered “no” to questions which ask whether the purchaser has been convicted of a felony.

What happened to the gun show loophole???

Oh, never mind. I forgot. Its just another GFW chimera.

I guess Kerry is gonna blame his staff for his latest screw up too.

On Good Morning America today, Kerry blamed

his I-voted-for-before-I-voted-against soundbite on fatigue: “It was a very inarticulate way of saying something and I had one of those moments late in the evening when I was tired in the primaries and didn’t say something clearly. But it reflects the truth of the position, which is, I thought, to have the wealthiest people in America share the burden of paying for that war. It was a protest. Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.”

However, at the time he made the statement, the Washington Post reported it as occuring at a noon time rally.

‘I actually did vote for his $87 billion, before I voted against it,’ he told a group of veterans at a noontime appearance at Marshall University. He went on to explain that he preliminarily backed the request, so long as it was financed not by deficit spending but with a tax surcharge on the wealthy that Bush opposed.

It’ll be interesting to see how he blames the staff for this one.

Dr. Phil Gingrey Congressman for Georgia’s 11th District, along the western border just south of our place, is on the floor making a mockery of the Democrats false federalism arguments.

Good job Dr. Phil. You have a great future!!!!

The non member of congress is on the floor complaining about the efforts to free the people. She is upset that the didn’t ban cop killer bullets.

What the hell is a cop killer???
